Think the Boxee remote control with keyboard on the back is smaller if that's what you're after. But is not available yet.
I have Logitech Dinovo mini which looks smaller that that one too?
I bought one of these the other week and it's great. The touch pad is a little bit small/slow but it's a high quality piece of kit. The back light is great and everything just works really well on it.
I was just looking at that a few days ago but couldn't find a supplier. I did find 2 suppliers but both had minimum order quantities of 20.
As an alternative, Lenovo has their mini kyboard on sale for 1/2 off w/ coupon

Bit the bullet and will ebay the rest. Or let me know if anyone is interested.

I have a Dinovo mini too ;-)
It works like a charme the only down-side is the price ..... Inside switzerland we pay 130 US$.
4 Weeks ago had to decide between the Lenevo or the Logitech.
Lenovo :
+ Price
- No Backlight
After 4 weeks of using the device I should say that I was a idiot to not buy it
sooner ;-)
Does this work out of the box with XBMC Live?
It does.
Great little product - I heartily recommend it.
What can you do in XBMC that you need a keyboard for? Web browsing?
I've been using it strictly for movies/tv shows.
I use mine for when I use Ubuntu. Which is primarily for watching TV via the internet and checking the odd email and logging in to my office pc. I also find when I'm updating my media files trying to type using the on screen keyboard is a real pain.
argh... just received mine. Lovely piece of kit but within xbmc live you cannot change xsession to drop into a shell with ctrl alt f2 etc
You can - it's just a bit ... tricky.
Since it won't send multiple continuous key combos you have to try to press the keys in close enough succession that the receive buffer counts it as a single keyscan
Usually takes me 4 or 5 tries - rather frustrating, and about the only downside of this nice little device.
Edit : hrmmmm. OK - scratch that - just retried it on my XBMC machine, and I can't get Ctrl-Alt-F(x) to work
at all any more. I *swear* it used to :o but I haven't tried it in a while, and it seems that somewhere along the line after fiddling with lots of kernel updates, & LIRC configs etc it's died.
Looking at
xbmc.log the Rii's Fn+Enter [Ctrl-Alt-Del] gets sent as three simultaneous keyscans, so I'll play around with keymap.xml and see if I can get that transmogrified into Ctrl-Alt-F1 somehow.

I know it's a bit late but do you have any left to sell? What do you want for it? I just saw this thread. Figured if you are still sitting on some I would help you out since I am going to buy one.
