CES 2017: Lenovo introduces new mobile keyboard-mouse accessory

A new accessory from Lenovo hopes to ease your frustration with your smart TV’s remote. The 500 Multimedia Controller works in your living room or be taken with you at meetings or wherever you might need a portable keyboard-mouse combo. The entire keypad surface is a touchpad and its supports Windows gestures as it is optimized for the platform (from Windows 7 up to 10). It’s also compact enough that you can reach the keys with both thumbs easily. The 500 Multimedia Controller connects to your devices via a nano USB dongle and it offers double the wireless range of the usual wireless remotes with its 65.6 ft. range. Pricing for this accessory starts at US$54.99 (around CA$70+) and is expected to be available in March. No word from Lenovo yet if they will be bringing this here.
