It seems like every tv in my house has a computer attached to it. My family and I like to be able to jump on the net in pretty much any room and also love to stream video over the network. We don't have directv hooked up in every room and don't feel the need for it since we can stream movies over our wireless network just fine, so this eliminates the need for a full fledge Windows Media Center and in turn we run pretty stripped down versions of XP or even a few flavors of linux on these machines.
This setup however posed a problem. We wanted to be able to control the computers with something other than remote like you would a typical WMC box, but your average wireless keyboard and mouse combo either didn't have the range we needed or was awkward to use on a couch or a bed.
So I shopped around and reviewed expensive solutions such as the Logitech diNovo, but then spotted this
BTC wireless mini keyboard with trackball on sale for $20 at buy.com. I picked up 2 of these and have been using them on 2 seperate computers without a hitch. These little keyboards are compact, convenient and amazingly well built for the price. Oh and even my wife likes it..
