If you’ve got your computer hooked up to your TV you’ll know that navigating through menus, typing emails, surfing the web and fiddling with your multimedia from the sofa can be a right pain. What’s more, balancing a mouse on your knee is nigh on impossible. That’s why you need the ingenious Mimi Gaming Keyboard.
Slightly bigger than a PSP, this compact wireless gizmo functions as an all-in-one HTPC keyboard and 3D motion-sensitive mouse, so you can type, surf and point with ease. It even has an ergonomic gamepad with two analog joysticks and digital buttons. Think of it as a Wii controller with full-on keyboard functionality.
1) Mimi, 2) USB Charging Cable, 3) USB Dongle, 4) Instruction Booklet, 5) Driver CD
With various hot keys, gaming-style shoulder buttons and a built-in accelerometer capable of interpreting tilts as up, down, left and right, the Mimi Gaming Keyboard is set to revolutionise the way you interact with your home theatre. You’ll even want to take it to work as it is ideal for controlling Powerpoint presentations and other business-based programs. Slick or what?
Mac and Windows compatible, the Mimi Gaming Keyboard boasts an impressive range of up to 10 metres, so unless your screen is in the penthouse and your computer is in the basement, you’re laughing. Just grab it with both hands, joypad-styley, and you’re away.
Ergonomic
You won’t need to sweat over battery life either, because the rechargeable Li-Polymers supplied will juice the keyboard for over 20 hours of constant use. There’s even an auto hibernate mode.
Yes, you could use a regular keyboard and separate mouse to control things, but why clutter your living room with cumbersome accessories when a Mimi Gaming Keyboard fits neatly next to your other remotes. Besides, you can’t lose a full sized keyboard down the sofa, so what fun is that?
Easy to use with your TV. Up to 100ft away from your computer!

This product looks pretty amazing. What I'd like to find out is how sensitive the joypad is compared to a standard keyboard and mouse for gaming. As an avid gamer, this kind of info is very important to me. Please someone buy this and review it for me! Bruce Gregg, Carlisle - 30th March 2011
I would love to purchase this, but is it possible to connect this to an Xbox 360? If I would, I will definitely buy it. Jake, Corringham, Essex - 18th March 2011
