Seems like a lot of money for a keyboard.

This is a decent keyboard for a home theater computer. I have one and it works reasonably well, as long as you understand "up to 100ft" range means "maybe 20 feet". BUT this is NOT a deal -- lots of places match this price normally.

I have the older IR model of this and it works pretty well. Only issue is having to point the keyboard directly at the receiver but this is an RF model so you wouldn't have that problem. Like #3 said, it's a good keyboard/mouse for use with a HTPC, giving you all the control over your system from across the room with no cables. Not a good price though.

I have one and it's a good HTPC keyboard.

I bought this from the egg, but it is now discontinued under the manufacture name from which I purchased it (it is the same keyboard however). I must say I am pretty disappointed. Mine is USB like the one above and I have a direct line of sight from the keyboard to the usb receiver and it cuts out a lot at even 12 to 15 feet. I constantly have to move the keyboard to try and regain connection. Also this keyboard has a scroll wheel at the top left corner which cannot be seen in the picture (unless you look at the egg). The scroll wheel is really nice until under normal use it just broke off. There is a little plastic bar which acts as the axle for the scroll wheel and after less than 6 months of normal use it broke rendering the wheel useless. The egg had similar comments to this problem. I would try and stay away from this keyboard.

I want one of these for my HTPC, but I want a better price.
