Simple Touch-Activated Controls to Complex Multi-Function Consoles.

Wireless handheld keyboards are an important part in a HTPC setup. Choosing the right one can actually be more difficult than picking the perfect desktop counterpart. Every feature on a HTPC keyboard is usually scaled down so ergonomic and usability are a concern. This niche category have already gone through several generations of redesigns so we are expecting this latest mini keyboard from Lenovo to be near perfect.

The miniature QWERTY keyboard, called Enhanced Multimedia Remote with Backlit, is the second generation of the original version shipping since 2009. While the two share a similar paddle shape, the most notable addition to this iteration is backlighting which naturally makes everything so much easier when touch-typing isn't a possibility. Also, the trackball is replaced by an optical finger navigation. One of the main complaints of the original design is the lack of an easy way to scroll so Lenovo came up with a touch-sensitive slide bar for this model. There's a one-inch long area along the dashed line that is slightly raised below the trackpoint. This is where you can can do vertical scrolling. Impressed? The Lenovo wants just $51.99 for this backlit remote keyboard.
