    Nice review, Mikinho!  A few questions:

    1.  How comfortable is the mouse?  (It looks kinda small.)
    2.  Is the mouse “normal” size or is it more of a travel/laptop size?  If the latter, would a normal sized mouse work okay on the mousing surface?
    3.  Did you find not having a forward/back button on the mouse to be an issue?
    4.  Do the keys have a laptop feel (i.e.  chiclet style) or do they have a more desktop feel to them?

    This is more of an observation.  From the design and your review, it would seem that this keyboard is targeted more for gamers (1 hand on kb, 1 hand on mouse) than for HTPC use.  As you said, for extended typing sessions, you recommend lowering the keyboard.  But, that would cause an issue when you need to do anything with the mouse, since you no longer have your mousing surface.  Due to that, I think they would have done well to integrate a trackball and left/right mouse buttons for just that circumstance.
