Nearly as good as it should be April 11, 2008

Lovely little keyboard that you can leave on the coffee table with the other remotes. It does the PC bit very well, but less useful on the PS3 than the original Sony remote (missing home key and std PS keys).
The keyboard backlight changes colour when you switch between "touchpad" and "direction" modes. I suppose this makes it easier to know which mode it is in.
For such a new bluetooth device I was very disappointed that it cannot handle multiple device switching. e.g.: you cannot easily switch between PC & PS3 mode on the fly. There is a little switch under the back cover where you can switch between PC (hardwired link to supplied USB adapter) and PS3 (normal bluetooth). I set mine up on the PC, flicked the switch and connected to PS3. That works fine, but switching back to PC mode did not re-establish the link to the USB adapter (I had to unplug the USB dongle first). On the plus side you could probably use this with many normal bluetooth devices without the USB adapter.
There is a groove under the battery cover where you can store the bluetooth adapter when you are using in PS3 mode.
Still it beats having a full-size keyboard hanging around the TV just for when you want to type a message or do a quick google search on PS3, and is really great for the media PC hooked up to TV. I think I will keep it.
 PS3 Compatable? April 10, 2008

I saw the mini and knowing it was compatable with the PS3 pre-ordered. Now having rec'd the MINI I am extremely dissapointed. Given they state it's compatability with the PS3 one would expect there to be the buttons associated with the PS3 controller. No!!!!!! At this moment in time, I cannot turn the PS3 off via the keyboard or use half of the functions with the PS3. I have no doubt if used in conjunction with a PC the keyboard is 1st class. However given Logitech, have branded this as PS3 compatable, it's a very expensive KEYBOARD only which is fine if you do not want to be able to use the multimedia functionality the keyboard is supposed to offer.
A quirky qwerty April 6, 2008

I went from my regular keyboard to a Logitech cordless and have been happy that I did so. The next step is this couch-friendly, remote, mini keyboard/control pad, which I am using to run Media Center on my Vista PC. For quality, ease of installation and functionality, I give it full marks. For ease of use, I deduct a star. When you shrink all this functionality into such a small space, there is bound to be some penalty. Certain characters ( _ + - = \ " ' ) have been moved from their usual homes to other keys, where they require you to use the function key to type them. As at least a couple of them ( - ' ) are very common, this can be irritating. Also, I found the ClickPad, when used as a touch pad to point and click, very difficult at first, and I am still not comfortable with it. The trick is to use thumb tips for everything. This unit is not a replacement for your keyboard and mouse. But, for couch potatoes determined to take root and for those keen to eliminate clutter, this elegant, light little gadget might be just the thing for you.
