Recently got the new Lenovo N5902. It's a wireless keyboard/mouse meant for HTPCs. I was able to get it to work with 32bit systems but not 64bit. Strange it shows in the Device list as recognized but no keys seem to work. Since my HTPC is 64 bit, it has to go back. Boo!
When it works it's a nice device. Thumb typing works well on it. It's comfortable. The small mouse circle took a couple days to get used to but I get it now and it works well. The thing I liked best was the up/down bar. You can't see it, it's a ridge on the face that one swipes. Works great to scroll webpages.
Now this is a small keyboard meant for HTPCs. I wouldn't do a day's work on it, or type this long of a document. But, surfing for video, music, etc. worked well. I'd recommend it especially if you can find one of the ~1/2 off coupons so it's about $40 instead of $70.
Sad it's going back. While recognized I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. USB3? 64bit Win7? Llano? who knows it's all new. Loved the bit older 32bit systems. Including a 32bit Llano laptop on USB2.
I couldn't find a Lenovo page other than their ordering page. But, if you want to see it there's some good pictures there.
