While that distance is attainable, the keyboard requires a direct line of sight to its receiver; the signal is lost with the slightest obstruction. All 26 media keys have a nice smooth texture and are very responsive. They're also backlit, allowing you to control your PC from a darkened living room--a feature we really appreciate.
The QWERTY keys, however, are not illuminated, so you'll have to rely on the glow from your TV for midnight messaging or performing movie and artist searches.
Furthermore, the keys produce a loud clicking noise when pressed, which could be annoying to you and those nearby. In place of a mouse, a pointer nub is positioned in the upper-right corner of the keyboard, while the corresponding right- and left-click buttons are on the keyboard's upper-left corner for convenient two-handed navigation.
We liked the keyboard's feel and found it easy to use the keys to browse through photos and playlists within MCE. However, mousing around with the nub is an exercise in frustration and requires just the right amount of pressure. Apply too much pressure, and the pointer will zoom across the screen; apply too little, and it won't move at all. This mouse is just as difficult to use with the oversize menu buttons in MCE as it is in the regular Windows interface where more precision is necessary.

Pros: Nice design, nice keyboard feel.
The "wings" on either side of the keyboard are a remote control. Volume buttons and TV power button can learn function from another remote. Cons: Since it uses infrared and not RF, it requires that the keyboard have line of site to the IR receiver. Onec I put the receiver in a good location, it's been very reliable. Overall Review: Overall I'm satisfied with this keyboard. I also can't understand why an expensive, complicated keyboard such as this couldn't learn more remote functions.
After all, it's basically a remote control with a keyboard. It's a complex device, and I think they should've created some kind of "mode" button that allows one to switch from the Media Center remote buttons and act as a learning remote for other things like TVs, DVD players, etc.
Cons: Seems to have a rather weak infrared transmitter. It's not very useful with my infrared distribution system so I have to plug in the USB IR receiver to the hub near the display. Overall Review: Thinkpad-style pointer gets better with use. A lot of people will hate it too much to even give it a chance. Nice compact design and good build quality. Overall Review: I normally only buy Logitech keyboards however I could not find anyone other then Microsoft who makes a good Media Center Keyboard, I know, not a big surprise.
IR connectivity works very well, no lag or anything like that. However it can be a problem but only if you have an extremely large living room.
In a normal size room the signal will bounce off the walls and hit the receiver with no problem. Also being too close can be an issue. But again, none of that is really an issue since it's designed for you to use while sitting on your couch and facing the tv. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. Learn More.
