Very Satisfied With My Purhcase.

Strengths: Price, Quality, On/Off Switches, Battery Length, and Look.

Weakness: Very occasional mouse stutter.

All in all a great combo for $50. Your PC connected to your TV setup will now be complete. The only thing I wouldn't recommend it for would be fore gaming due to the mouse stutter every once in a while. Not perfect but very good.

Awesome HTPC Keyboard/Mouse Combo!

Strengths: Works great from 15' away, nice build quality, on/off switches save battery life, no software needed

Weakness: None so far

If you need a full keyboard and mouse that you can use to control your HTPC from the couch, look no further than this combo. It seems to use the 2.4GHz spectrum a bit better than other combos I've used before; I hardly get signal drop-outs from my couch, although I sit a good 15' from the HTPC and the USB receiver is mounted behind the HTPC in a rear USB port. Also, since I use both input devices sparingly, the on/off switches for each one is a very nice touch: batteries will last much longer and I no longer get any "phantom" mouse movements while the mouse is tucked away. I was also impressed by the heft of the keyboard and the laptop clickiness of the keys. That and the build quality of the mouse make this a steal for the price in my opinion (I got mine for $50).

All-in-all a perfect choice for HTPCs!
