On Monday I have a mini keyboard and mousepad the size of a remote arriving.

Ooh is it one of these (from riitek)? http://www.riitek.com/product/257.html

I had an older version for my htpc more than a decade ago, then went a long while without an htpc. When I built a new one, I was surprised to find there still wasn't much else comparable. I like the programmable IR remote on the flip side.

Miss the laser though. Didn't need it but idk, it entertained me
