Apologies to everyone... Since making the video I've plugged the USB dongle into my PS3 and Mac and contrary to the manufactures specifications, it does work with both. I've added a note on the video and will post more details on my website TECHMOAN.COM. My next video review of the Rii keyboard will also cover this undocumented feature.

@joshstube I've already put the pop-ups/annotations on the video....I'll demo it's use on a PS3 and Mac somewhere in my next video review of the Rii Mini. However if you plan to use a single keyboard with multiple devices, then bluetooth is still definitely the best way to go about it.

Finally a review of this gadget with an onscreen demonstration of how it works. Thank you a bunch for that! I've been looking and there are lots of people unboxing the thing, but none (save you) seem to be show us how it performs. Cheers. Also, I look forward to the Rii keyboard demo. I bought the N5902 (based partly on your review), but will still consider the Rii if it compares favorably. Keep up the great reviews!

I love the Flirc IR receiver for similar reasons. Plug it in and it works. This has AA batteries, no need for device surgery or parts hunting when the batteries degrade. No pairing nonsense because it's USB. Although the antenna is ill-placed under the menu button, because it is easily blocked by right handed usage over a greater distance, it is still my favourite keyboard/remote. I didn't find any decent candidate for replacing it so far.

I played around with the mouse settings and learned that there is this thing called "CLICKLOCK." If you enable it, then you can simply hold down the left click for a few seconds depending on your settings and it will lock into place. You no longer need to hold down the left click, you can then just move your mouse to highlight or to drag and drop.

@Techmoan Ive found a good free keyboard/ touchpad remote for the ipad or iphone. It's called Splashtop Touchpad. It has a full screen touchpad, and press a button you've got a keyboard. Install the relevant software on your PC and your ready for the off.. Ok, so it's less gadgety than these but works seamlessly.

@Techmoan Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you can add a popup superimposed graphic during the portion so that you won't have to edit and re-post. Still this does limit the keyboard to devices with usb host.

Excellent video! I agree with other comments complimenting you on your reviewing skills! I have two specific questions... 1. If you are on an internet video page (say youtube), will the media buttons work to play/pause forward videos? 2. Do you know if it is possible to power on your computer with this keyboard (power on, not wake up from sleep)? Since I have a docking station, this would be ideal to save the trip to press the power button. Keep up the good work!

Good vid -who knows when it'll see UK release. For those saying they should have kept the trackball. I still think the optical is better - it is much less likely to malfunction due to dirt/grime. Regarding the 'whizz' of a trackball, you can increase your mouse movement speed in control panel to rectify this. Most likely, the same is possible with the scrolling too. One question I have tho: * Is there a key shortcut to allow zoom in/out? (I don't mean windows magnifying glass btw)

I'll be returning my n9502. The touchpad just isn't as responsive as the n9501 trackball. You kind of touched on this in your review but I feel if you would have used it more then you may have talked more about this. It's a shame too because I love the new scrollbar and backlight.

Love your style re; the explanation Lenovo RW remote! Lenovo should employ you to review their products as you give a very fair and un bias opinion of which is explained in everyday normal acceptable language with no media hype and believe in this day and age as a consumer less of the BS and more of the facts is what we require.I think you should know that up viewing your video re both the rii remote with it's dodgy mouse pad when distance is involved and as you have shown both I bought Lenovo
