I have a multimedia pc hook up to my lcd tv . all I want this for be to let I play my dvd 's and other media quickly without have it get in my way . it do this perfectly . I just buy a second one due to a power supply problem that take out most of my pc include the usb attachment for the keyboard , but it have function without fail for over 18 month , in fact ; the keyboard still work with the new usb receiver so I guess I have a backup now . I do agree that if you be go to use this as a actual keyboard , be prepare for miss letter and other keystroke from time to time . but I do mean time to time , I sit about 8 foot from my setup and use this to rename file , search online , do email , and it be rare that I have miss letter , and I have multiple other wireless device such as 802.11 g , wireless headphone , Wii , Xbox 360 , remote control all within that 8 foot of each other . but if you just want something for a multimedia setup , this be the all in one to get . by the way , great battery life , I think I change out maybe once or at most twice a year , and I use it nearly every day .
