Strengths: Great wireless remote/mouse; great range
Weaknesses: cheapie keyboard; proprietary RF, not bluetooth; no IR blasters
Summary: I was using a Microsoft Media Center remote and keyboard setup previously, but had so many issue of having to point the IR directly at the IR receiver. I also didn't like having to pull out the keyboard everytime I needed mouse functionality. This seemed like a great setup, as the remote control had a gyroscope inside, allowing it to act as a mouse. The keyboard, however, is kind of flimsy, and small. I prefer the microsoft media center keyboard, but this one works just fine. The remote/mouse is great! It takes some getting used to, but once you do, it works as advertised. It has all the same media-center buttons that are on the microsoft media-center mouse. The RF works great as well. I have the PC in a closet, and the USB dongle is plugged into a USB port on the back of the computer. It has not problem receiving the signal thru the computer, thru the closet door, and across 15-foot of room!

Strengths: Good range
Weaknesses: needs frequent re-pairing.
Summary: The remote is great but takes a little while to get used to the wrist motions. The keyboard has good range but seems to need frequent pairing with the reciever. The keyboard has a nice snap on cover that stores on the bottom side when its in use.

    Product Experience:
    30 Days
Strengths: Plug and play with Vista SP1 ultimate
Weaknesses: Keyboard key felt out. Poor QA.
Summary: The Microsoft Media Center remote is excellent but they keyboard's "W" key came out in few days. I was able to put it back but it is partially damaged.

Overall, it is a good purchase because of the range. I bought several of their air mouse and full size keyboard for my company conferencing room and they love it.

It is worth every single penny of the purchase. :)

Note: I bought two of them and one of them had a bad key "w" but fixable.
