Basically a K400 coupled with the Harmony Wifi-controlled IR blaster. Neat concept. I have a K400 in my HTPC & I really like it. However, it's only $25:

The Harmony remote system with the dumb remote is currently $110 on Amazon:

This would give you a keyboard, dumb remote, and smartphone remote for $135, which is $15 cheaper than the AIO Harmony Keyboard setup with more functionality. Hmm.
 
I saw that K400... I think I need to get one of those. I'm sick of having wires strung across the room when I try to do maintenance on the HTPC...

I have a K400 & a Logitech M515 "couch mouse". The mouse is has tinted plastic on the bottom so you can use it on fabric, like the arm of a couch or your pants leg. Also $25:

It's a great combination because if you're just doing basic stuff, you can use the touchpad on the K400, but if you want to do more complex power-user stuff or if you want to play a video game, the M515 works great. Really really nice combo setup :thumbsup:
 
I use a Logitech MediaBoard Pro (MBP) with my NUC. It has a dedicated on-off switch and a trackpad. The advantage is that the MBP uses Bluetooth, so I can just tie into the internal WiFi + BT card rather than waste one of the precious USB ports (2 front, 2 back) on a wireless dongle. The disadvantage is that the MBP is meant for the PlayStation 3, and so it lacks a Windows key.

This device looks nice, but I do wish the keyboard was a bit bigger. It seems like one of those tiny keyboards that's a bit hard to type on... and it's ridiculously expensive.
 
I wish this came out earlier. I got the K400 which is nice but i think my wireless land line phone or wifi interferes with the RF of the keyboard which makes the range a little bit crappy for me. Bluetooth would have been nice, and i probably woulda paid full price for this keyboard.
 
I've had my Belkin Media Pilot nearly 10 years (can hardly believe I've had any piece of computer hardware that long that's still in use, but I do) and it's still going strong on main HTPC. I've yet to find anything I like better for the job, though that Logitech does look better than 90% of other devices I've seen come and go.
