Title: Lenovo Multimedia Remote with Keyboard N5902

I have been using one of these bad boys for the last few months on my HTPC and it is the best HTPC remote i have messed around with. between this, big picture mode for steam, xbmc, and a 360 controller i am good to go without a full size keyboard and mouse. at least until i get my wireless gh60.  :p :p

anyway i think this thing is a great concept. has anyone else messed around with one of these or something similar? this thing could improve in major ways. for one the blackberry style thumb mouse thing sucks. i would like to see a trackball instead. also, i wish they would add mouse buttons were on the back of the controller.

I gave an N5901 (the non-backlit one w/ trackball and worse layout) to my dad, but unfortunately, few keys (one arrow and Shift IIRC) died after only one year.
