The evolution of home entertainment is blurring the boundaries between TV, computers, and mobile devices, as they start to function more and more alike. As our devices become more sophisticated and complex, our entertainment options have begun to grow in new ways, yet easily controlling them as each platform minims another still pose a challenge. Lenovo wants to tackle this issue head on with the new 500 Multimedia Controller that was just announced at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller is basically a wireless keyboard and mouse that fits in the palm of your hand with the entire surface acting as a multi-touch capacitive touchpad. It’s easy to hold and control in your hands with one grip and also supports Windows 10 gestures so you can easily navigate through a variety of functions. Taking into consideration the different shapes and sizes of home theaters an living rooms, the controller boasts an impressive 65.6-ft of range, so you can comfortably command your media from anywhere in the room. Available starting in March of 2017, the Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller will go on sale for $55.
