The Windows 8/10 UI of having big boxes as program icons is a plus for a living-room PC, as they give you a very large "hit box" for a Wii-type remote. But then you need to enter a URL or search for a movie title/genre/etc, and it falls down.. Lenovo has a home-theater style remote [0] that is wireless and has a keyboard + mouse on it, but again the usage is awkward and doesn't solve the hands-free scenario.

- ghaff 11y agoI actually have one of those (or something very much like it from Lenovo). It is probably the least bad keyboard/mouse solution I've run across for a living room PC attached to a TV. But the whole experience still wasn't great. For now, using either a tablet or a laptop with a Chromecast is the best thing I've run across.
