What is a good wireless keyboard to use with my HTPC? I've ran into a couple times where I've needed a keyboard and have to remote in from my office computer.

Thanks!

The new Apple Wireless is the sexiest thing you can get to compliment your HTPC. That's if you can live w/o the numeric keypad.

the gyration (i think thats what its called) is an awesome keyboard and mouse combo which doesnt require a surface to use. I know alot of people that have HTPC's use them. I always wanted a set but never did get one when i had my htpc.



edit: The Dinovo line from logitech is also amazing. The dinovo edge is completely awesome, even has a built in mouse touchpad.

Why spend that much on dinovo? You can get the same quality from Logitech, without a few bells and whistles, for much less.

For those who are wondering, it works perfectly with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Range is also great.

The Dinovo Edge is the sexist thing ever.

However I personally use the Logitech LX710 Wireless Keyboard and a Logitech G7 mouse. The 710's mouse wasnt bad persay, but the ability to swap the 2 batteries of the G7 made it a much nicer option. Also I got both the keyboard set and the G7 on some crazy rebates.

I use a cheap logitech wireless combo. I keep it out of the way most of the time and use an infrared remote for the manipulation within mythtv but occasionally I will browse the web or want to play music so I use the keyboard and mouse. One day, I may set up mame and use it for that as well.
