OK so I got this thing in the mail - it's nice and slim. The mouse is rather small - almost like those laptop mice - but I got used to it. Oh yeah - its RF not IR. And it came with all batteries needed, which was nice.
My cab is in the living room - the reciever is about 2" long and plugs right into the USB port, where the computer is hidden inside the bottom of the cab. All doors closed.
It says it has a 30' range. I go into my bedroom where I can just glimpse my cab through the door - sit down on my bed - and start a game of pacman from over 30' away through walls and such. The mute button on the keyboard is especially handy. There is a volume control, mute, standard internet hot-keys, and music buttons (play, pause, etc). All work very nicely.
The remote isn't bad - it's very tiny. It's got 5 buttons, only 4 of which work. ESC on top doesn't do anything that I've found yet. Even in powerpoint, which it was designed for.
The bad thing - and it's a big bad thing - is that I can't seem to find any programming software for anything. I will find back from tech support hopefully tomorrow. Mostly to change the buttons on the remote - but it's looking unlikely. Worst case scenario is I'll have to change the controls for whatever MP3 software I'll end up using to match the remote.
The pluses for me are:
Black, sleek, small (easily hideable stuff). comes with a remote. Oh, and wireless

Good range, small reciever, optical mouse, USB, no driver install.
Minus is: not programmable(that i've found so far).
I needed a USB keyboard and mouse in my cab because I can't run anymore wires out of the whole rotating part, and I can't use a ps2 wireless keyboard because I have an Ipac taking that slot. And all the ps2 wireless stuff I found were pretty much one reciever with 2 ps/2 connections (mouse and keyboard) coming off it. So this was the best USB I could find for the money (59 after rebate).
It's a good solution, and a good way to play Half-life from the coffeetable
