Keyboard+trackpad suggestions

post #1 of 10

Thread Starter 

We have a HTPC at home, was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for a compact keyboard+trackpad combo that works well with a 10ish foot range.  Kingston's candyboard doesn't seem to handle range that well.

Did you receive this yet? I just ordered one and am curious how you like it. I have previously been using an Iogear but the Logitech looks nice so I thought I'd give it a try.

I second this although I'm a little leary on the 30ft specs logitech says. I sit about 10ft from my htpc which sits in the corner to the right of my tv and couch. I have the usb receiver on the front of the computer and I have to point the keyboard at the computer for it to work consistantly. Just remember that it works on the 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity with Logitech Unifying technology so if you are using anything else that works on the 2.4 GHZ frequency, it's possible there could be some interference which might shorten the range.

I love having the small foot print along with the mouse pad built into the keyboard as I don't have to worry about a seperate mouse which can be lost. It's also not so bulky that it takes up space on the arm of the couch or on the end/coffee table. When I get done using the htpc, I have enough room above my htpc that I can place it on top of my htpc so I know where it's at when I need it.

I bought the Logitech k400, it does seem to have some interference issues though. But it works pretty decently up to 20ft for me.

I love and highly recommend the Lenovo N5902, especially if you want something close to a regular remote that you can use mostly use with one hand.
