HTPC wireless KB+Mouse - suggestions?
 

So I'd originally really set my heart on the Logitec diNovo but I've heard some negative stuff about use-ability and flakey-ness. Then there's the Lenovo Multimedia Remote that looks fun, but the keyboard seems a bit small.

Anyone have a suggestions on a good small-ish wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a HTPC?

I have the dinovo and I think it works fairly well. I can't type very well with the pad but I love the rollerball. For the size, it is damn good.

I use the lenovo to set up and change/upgrade a Win 7 pc I use as a pvr. It works very well for my purposes but be aware the "keyboard" is only 5 inches across.

Might want to try the full size wireless diNovo, instead. I just can't get over the usefulness of backlit keys in my HT, but the one and only wireless keyboard with actual backlighting was the $300 Microsoft which they no longer make. Since I'm near my HTPC, I'm surviving with a wired keyboard for the backlight. My mouse is wireless.

Thanks for the suggestions. Still undecided.

Anyone use one of these:

I got one for cheap, and it's kinda unresponsive and a pain to use the mouse function (it's like a Wii). Sounded fun, but not as practical for everyday use.

This one works pretty well and has the added benefit of being fairly inexpensive:

I've been using the Lenovo for a while, and while it's been OK the connectivity isn't super. To be fair I'm about 20 feet away from the PC, so it's not an optimal situation. Also I really have found that a backlight is needed, so I'm in the market for a replacement.

I see that Lenovo has a new backlit version, but I wondered if anyone had a personal recommendation or other suggestions.

Logitech now has what appears to be an excellent fullsize keyboard with backlight, the K800, ~$80. I haven't bought it, yet, want to. But no mouse in that one. And I don't know about gaming speed if that is an issue.

Love my Apple trackpad in my HT, but it doesn't have good support on Windows.

The Rii Touch N7 is the newest version of the popular Favi.

At $35 I think I'll give it a a go.
