For
HTPC owners looking for the perfect couch-borne computer keyboard, this Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard looks like Natuzzi nirvana, packing QWERTY (with function keys) and a touchpad all in a package that should fall to the hand more comfortably than that
Scientific Atlanta remote your cable company has saddled you with. There's even a laser pointer, making it a snap to indicate strange shapes and symbols seen on Lost episodes -- or to taunt the cats when an episode's fifteenth plot twist leaves you disinterested. We're not sure exactly what Brando means when it says the thing has "iPhone style," but despite that we're liking it, and the
$92 $49 price isn't completely outrageous. YouTube video review embedded after the break for the doubters.
Update: A few bargain-hunting commenters pointed out that this is available for $48.99 over at
TomTop. That's savings you can count on, folks!
Update II: Seems the product page has been yanked from TomTop, and one tipster says that the company is no longer replying to requests about his order. Buyer beware.

I got mine. I am VERY happy with it. I've been looking for something like this for a while & this filled all my requirements. And yeah, I typed this on my new keyboard :)

Do not order this from tomtop.com. They are shipping out whatever color they feel like, not the color you order. In addition to that, it's taking over a month to receive the Rii. Also, I learned a valuable lesson today. Paypal offers absolutely no resolutions to orders made using them that are received, but incorrect. As long as you receive the order, correct or not, they will do nothing to help you get a refund.
@lokiracer
Mine came in the correct color, and their website now has a listing for both colors separately. It's a minor issue, and you are wrong that paypal won't help you out. If someone sends you something that you did not order... then they are required to do something about it.
If you would like to buy this from a local company sitouch.com has them now. Coupon code SITOUCH25 gets you 25% off. Si Touch is located in cali.
@sitouch http://www.sitouch.com is the URL*
Just got mine today. Good build quality (honestly surprised at that), and only took about 2 weeks. TomTop came through, and the vast majority of the complaints about them seem to be related to slow shipping (it's from China, what do you expect). I read up on all the complaints, and no one actually got ripped off or any money stolen. You pay through paypal anyways, so you're protected if they send you a lemon (or nothing at all).
TomTop did raise the price to $60, but even then it's well worth it.
Try here for the same price instead... http://www.meritline.com/wii-magic-stick-blue---p-38409.aspx?source=fghdac
@Heratiki It's back on the tomtop site for what it's worth. It's still $49.99 http://www.tomtop.com/24g-wireless-mini-keyboard-with-touchpad-black-c709b_p10332.html
I just got mine on eBay and couldn't be happier. Great with MythTV.
