Great size, probably even smaller than your other remotes. Manages to include a full keyboard, track pad, mouse buttons, arrow keys and a lazer pointer on a tiny interface.I gave it a 4/5 on Design because despite the great form factor, the light weight and type of plastic make it feel cheap. The battery life isn't great, you'll still get about a week out of it but when the battery starts getting low the mouse will start jumping around and missing skipping keys. It tries to save battery by going into power-saving mode after a period of inactivity which is good, but often means it will often miss the first key you pressed when you pick it back up.Despite some of the negatives I have pointed out, I've recommended it to many of my friends because there aren't a lot of options for this size keyboard and it's a great price. Works great on Windows/Mac/Linux.
