eetaylog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have the following MCE remote control for my media centre at home, does anyone know of any accompanying wireless keyboards that would be useable with the IR receiver that comes with the remote? http://www.albumon.com/attachments/remote_receiver.jpg I know of this one, but its a bit too big imo, so im looking for something a bit smaller (with built-in touchpad mouse if possible)...

Stu Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm only aware of the proper one you already linked to (I use one). The mouse-nipple on it is a PITA. Nice keyboard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same type that you get in the middle of some laptop keyboards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 No, much worse. It's really tedious to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one looks good but i dont really want to use one that isnt compatable with my current IR receiver as i dont want to add any more usb components. Thanks anyway.

caled Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 If you've got an iPod touch or an iPhone, just get AirMouse, otherwise use the android equivalent. Connects to the PC via wifi (you'll need to install the AirMouse server on the PC, but it seems light weight), and saves adding any more dongles. Correction: it's been renamed mobile mouse, now.

smithyandco Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Forgot all about those apps... you can get them on Android and WiMo/WP7 also. HTPC is still a niche market it appears... finding a specific device is bloody hard work and usually expensive. Sadly it's not like PCs where the Chinese have made pretty much everything... Serial port to hair dryer adaptor anyone? That's why I gave up and stuck with a retail setup that just "does the job". To be honest I'd start looking into 2.4Ghz wireless keyboards with mice which you can find a compatible remote for as IR is pretty limited... all it takes is your cat to walk in front of the receiver mid-evo-post for your "fine gentleman..." to become a "stupid cnut..."
