[mythtv-users] Off-Topic - Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

I would seriously pay any reasonable amount for a guaranteed working
remote/keyboard pair. Which is what I did, on recommendation from
someone else on the list.

 The Lite-On Airboard is a nice, solid feeling keyboard with a stick
mouse. There is just one caveat: it does have a laptop style keyboard
layout... this is not a problem for me, but it might be for some others.

BTW, my total cost (including shipping) was $35. I think that that is
quite reasonable if you want something guaranteed to work with XYZ
remote control... but if someone wanted to pay around with several
different keyboards and remotes until they found a working combination
(if they wanted it for a remote control receiver) then sure, they could
go your route. YMMV.

Heh.  I paid $13 for my generic wireless keyboard with mouse and
multimedia buttons at a computer fair... works quite nicely.  I would
seriously *NOT* pay anything more than $20 for a keyboard...
