$65 with free shipping at NewEgg, so Ben's deal is hotter. Reviews at NewEgg complain about slow key response, missed key strokes, and RF communication that is easily blocked or interfered with.

I want a wireless keyboard with a built-in touch-pad or (preferably) track-ball, but will probably pass on this one.

I have this and it works great. I use it with my HTPC.

I have one of these for my HTPC and they're perfect:

I got mine from a store that happens to be in Canada, on " e b a y " for just less than $30. I love it and will be sad if it ever breaks.

Too bad it's 2.4 ghz. A crowded frequency that can mess with your wireless network. #1 here is your answer for close to the same price as this.

Still 2.4 but guess you can't have everything.

the one that #3 posted is excellent, I have one, it is bluetooth, it says ps3, but works with a pc as well

I use one with my HTPC and it works fine.

I have the older ps2/serial version of this that I used on an HTPC machine in my living room for awhile and it works fine. The keyboard is like a laptops with small/short keys but it allows you to navigate the pc without getting up so it works pretty well. You wouldn't want to be gaming with this type of keyboard but then again, that's not what they are intended for.

I use a Dell bluetooth arrangement, made by Logitech. Would love it to be an all-in-one, but it's not. The bluetooth occasionally hiccups, but the line-of-sight issues I had with a previous RF keyboard are gone.

Same experience as #7. Not a horrible keyboard, especially now that it's USB.

i would recommend this as well. i wanted a dinovo but the price was too high and never dropped below 100. i bought this on newegg a couple of months ago and it has worked well. the trackball isn't perfect but for a HTPC keyboard..bacon works well. oh...and newegg delivery was next day.

hope its better than the Vidabox piece of crap.

own the Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro for ps3, works better than any other HTPC keyboard/mouse combo out there, got it for 45 new shipped on ebay. Tried the Logitech diNovo Mini, its too damm expensive and small, have to type with your thumb. avoid anything made by Adesso, pure junk.

What's with the talk of line of sight and RF? IR is line of sight not RF.

I got a BTC keyboard similar to this from Geeks.com for $20 a few months back.

I have this keyboard and it works fine as HTPC keyboard. I would not recommend it for daily use.

It works well when you are close to the USB dongle. Definitely does not work well a far distances.
