I purchase this Lenovo remote base on the glowing review and its form factor , upgrade from a 3\/4 size multimedia keyboard with trackball , which be too large for use in my living room with my htpc . I be please with the size and design of this remote , but very disappointed in the wireless range . sit on my couch 12 foot from my computer with a clear line of sight , the remote struggle . it miss roughly half of the character I type and have numb response on the trackpad . I often end up lean forward or reach my arm out , which make I want to go back to my old keyboard . if my tv remote have no issue from here , I would like to see the same from a $ 52 remote .
