Lenovo Multimedia Remote With Keyboard Is Just $60

I just bought me a Mac Mini and along with it a Logitech DiNovo keyboard with built-in trackpad – I’m doing the whole home theater PC thing. But now, after seeing Lenovo’s latest product, I’m beginning to regret my purchase, of the keyboard that is.

The Lenovo Multimedia Remote with keyboard is actually already on sale (sneaky little buggers) for $60. As you’ve sussed out from the picture it incorporates a full QWERTY keyboard with a trackball. Connectivity comes by way of a 2.4GHz USB receiver with a max range of 10 meters. Currently it’s only Windows compatible, but I’m assuming that means you can plug it into a Mac, you just won’t get any back end software to tweak its settings.

will this atleast work like a regular keyboard and mouse on the mac mini?

Christen,

Have you tried the new Lenovo keyboard with you MacMini, yet. Dumped cable and am running everything off my computer. This keyboard seems like a great option for such a setup. Just want to know if you got it to work with your MacMini.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Mike,
I actually haven’t bought one or tried to receive one for review as of yet. I’m currently using a standard setup (wireless mouse and keyboard) which seems to work ok. Nonetheless, let me know if you try out the Lenovo keyboard/mouse combo.

BTW, I’m about to ditch cable too.
