Iv'e had one for nearly a year. I find the touchpad too sensitive to
'clicking' and find I have selected something I was just passing over.

Also note the keyboard is US and in my example the ALT key is actually
ALT-GR so some mapping in the computer is required to get the usual ALT
functions. Function keys only go up to 8. Some key combinations are not
possible, e.g. CTL-PGUP as PGUP requires the blue function key which also
affects CTL.

Having said that I use it all the time on my MythTV/XBMC box to configure
or run Spotify or browse the web. Great bit of kit.
