Does anyone have this KB? Does it work? I tried a different wireless Adesso KB and it did not work properly at all. The track pad was awful and every 5th keypress or so would not register. I spent more time correcting my typing than I did typing. I would like to find a good wireless KB that has built-in navigation and does not include a numeric keypad. Any advice / thoughts?

I have this exact model as part of my home theater system and I love it except for one thing... If I have something copying between the HTPC and another computer on my wireless network, it disrupts the signal between the keyboard and the HTPC. Weirdest thing, it doesn't happen if I am streaming from the internet. Other than that I love this thing!

I have this kb and really like it. The reception can be a little flaky, but that's mostly due to interference (objects in the way) and is easily corrected by tilting the kb a little so the receiver can see the kb. I'd say the biggest downfall is how the keys feel, but I still think it's worth $61.

I have a keyboard that looks like this but was branded XGene. It works fine, tho the RF connection can be a little sensitive to the direction the KB is pointed in. That said, I have the RF USB dongle plugged into the back of an HTPC case sitting behind the TV. IMO this is a superb keyboard for an HTPC.
