Hi Guys,

What's everyone using with their media center? I've just replaced my old Acer Revo with the C2D Antec Fusion that Rhino was selling, and the mouse and keyboard was is nice with the Revo but will be given away with it.

I usually just used the mouse an the on screen keyboard, but just wondering if anyone has an good suggestions for a HTPC keyboard/mouse in the bedroom, I don't want anything too big, and will largely be using the mouse, but is handy to have the keyboard as well..

Use your phone.
Or a hdmi Cec adapter and use the tv remote.

Thanks guys...

Phone may not be a bad idea actually.. I've already got the mobile mouse app that I could use, although a little bit of a pain in the arse if the Mrs wants to watch something in bed if I'm not around.. although may have an android that'll do the job..

As far as the logitech goes it's a lot of money and I'm not sure I like the flap?, here are 3 alternatives that I have come across for less than half price (although I know the quality may not be the same):

In terms of using a TV remote or xbmc constellation the case will actually work with a MCE remote out of the box, but doesn't give mouse control (I don't use XBMC as I play films off the network directly or use streaming TV off the net, and is quicker without it..

Anyone using something similar to the above linked products?

Other alternative.. might just get another mouse

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but as a controller for my bedroom pc I went for my third option, supporting multi touch and media buttons and a compact keyboard, I'm really impressed with it, it's very responsive and compact and feels quite sturdy, I'll let you know if I have any problems with it!
