HTPC Keyboard Remotes The Lenovo N5902 vs Lenovo N5901 REVIEW

[doomprophet]

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]

@doomprophet Thanks of the info - I'll have to investigate this a bit more.

Really great in-depth review, well done! Though please take care of your left hand, it looks like your right hand has been bullying it and leaving scars.

[Portalgunmaker1000]

Will you please review a Ipod touch 4th generation? TY

[costelj]

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!

Did you win on the lotto? You seem to spend all your time and money buying new gadget after gadget.. not to mention your motorbike etc..

[sythlorde]

@brawnbear think thats his business some people actually do work hard in this world

[SkillipEvolver]

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)

[Bristoltrails]

man i have watched almost everyone of your videos you are by far the best reviewer ever thank you so muck man :)

[skoda1203]

I have never subscribed anything on youtube and I have been using it for years. I just had to subscribe your channel. Your reviews are the best I have ever seen including gadget and tech tv shows. I have seen all your videos even though I never intended to buy any of the products in your reviews except phosphor watch that brought me to your channel btw. Great work. Sorry for my english.

[Techmoan]

@skoda1203 Thanks. Hopefully my videos will come in useful for you sometime in the future.

[prt1667]

@skoda1203 ditto

[beerman1957]

I am sad this is not BT Version 3.0. Then you could use it on almost anything.

[beerman1957]

James May doing Ringo Starr doing Techmoan.

[gamerplay]

When is the 2nd part coming. I can't wait to see what is better as I would love to buy one of these already lol.

[Techmoan]

@gamerplay You'll have to wait a while old chap...the Rii keyboard is still in transit.

[gamerplay]

@Techmoan Nooo haha. You left me in cliff hanger. I want the 2nd act lol. I enjoy tech toys I can use or the random ones that could be useful like that one u made that turns things off or no with your voice lol.

[eskuAdradit0]

Thank you James.

[donspew]

Great video tech!

[Techmoan]

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.

[imroy264]

@Techmoan No need to apologise. Those "system requirements" lists are always a problem for those of us who don't use Windows (or even Mac!). I wish they would include just a little bit more information for anyone who knows what they're on about. But the manufacturers probably don't want you to realise how simple some of their stuff is. Or use it in unexpected ways and then bug their support service.

[locouk]

@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.

[J273]

Another great vid - Would love to see a vid of your Mac mini media center.

[Techmoan]

@J273 There isn't much to see. Its just a Mac Mini with Boxee/Plex/XBMC networked up to a Drobo containing 4 x 1.5GB drives.

[joyork]

@Techmoan 1.5tb drives I assume, rather than 1.5gb...

[Techmoan]

@joyork Yes...whoops. I remember when I got my first PC with a 400MB drive and the retailer asked me why I wanted one so big - what was the point as I'd never fill it.

[MrRivii]

Rii keyboard cant wait ... as I would like to have something for ps3

[Techmoan]

@MrRivii See my new note about the PS3 compatibility.

[joshstube]

@Techmoan Do you say that because it is Bluetooth . . . or will the Mac and PS3 accept the dongle . . . ?

[Techmoan]

@joshstube No, it's not bluetooth, it still needs the dongle...but surprisingly, both my Mac and PS3 both work with the dongle.

[joshstube]

@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.

[Techmoan]

@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.

[DOPPELgameplayVIDEOS]

If you plug the dongle into the PS3, would it work?

[boy1er1990]

@DOPPELgameplayVIDEOS I think you might be looking for 3:20

[boy1er1990]

@DOPPELgameplayVIDEOS although it is worth a try :D

[Techmoan]

@DOPPELgameplayVIDEOS Your comment made me test it to see what happened....and it actually works! I'll put full details in my next video.

[fenshwey]

Perfect for the lenovo q180 when it comes out in uk, I been using a ps3 keypad with a windows driver,works ok but obviously wouldn't be as good as this.

[YourIdleGamer]

"Even though it's blue it isn't bluetooth."

"You can get URLs into there or tweet or whatever ridiculous things you kids are doing nowdays."

You're great!

[eveningniteshade]

should have kept the track ball.

[oliwood2]

Great video

[moonbear]

interesting..

[Terrorist939]

cant wait for your new videos 

[imroy264]

Interesting. The fact that the drivers for the receiver installed without a separate disk/disc means that either Windows comes with the Lenovo drivers or, more likely, it's just a USB HID (human interface device). So it may work on non-Windows systems just as well.

[Techmoan]

@imroy264 You are indeed right...see my latest comment for additional compatibility info.

[TheT2eL]

Excellent as always, sir. We all appreciate your hard work on these videos.

[ThatsTechtastic]

This is better than tv! Thanks Techmoan for your entertaining videos! Really appreciate the work!

[WarbirdFan66]

as always, a very nice review and thanks for all the affort you put into your reviews, i find them very helpful :)

[gamerplay]

I think I first started watching your videos because of the first review of this lol. I really do enjoy your videos because it is real info you try not to leave anything out good or bad thats what I like. Can't wait for the next videos I might buy one of these after seeing your review as this is why I watched your video the very first time then I choose not to buy one.
