HTPC keyboard/mouse recommendations
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 5:10 pm
So, I am looking around at wireless keyboards and mice for my HTPC. One interesting thought would be a wireless keyboard with a touchpad since the mouseing requirements will be fairly limited. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot out there. I suppose that a trackball would be sufficient thought I really would prefer a touchpad.
I would rather opt for an all-in-one solution because I usually I will be using it from my bed and I tend not to sleep with a mousepad on my bed.
Even if you don't have any all-in-one suggestions, what do you all use on your HTPCs?
--------------------
EDIT: Ohh, I just had a thought, could I use virtual desktop (tightVNC maybe) to control it? More specifically, can I somehow scale the window since the htpc is on a 720P tv which is higher than the 1024x600 on the eee. Then I can just hook up an old crappy keyboard for when I need to mess with the BIOS.
