I use the Adesso Wireless IR as well

EdpNo=1388866&CatId=537
Works great has hand grips on the bottom and a built in track ball. I
do not know the range, I use it about 9' from the TV, and use a cable
distribution to send the IR to the Server in the basement. Works GREAT!
I programed learning remotes to emulate the keys I needed for MythTV,
and have them at the other TV around the house.
The cable distribution is "A Two-Channel Modulator That Distributes A/
V Sources to Local and Distant TVs";

The Remote IR Targets to send the IR back to the Server are part of
the Cable Distribution. These are "IR Target for Multi-Room Video
Distribution System"

I use the keyboard when I need system issues, but all other times the
Sony and Logitech learning remotes and the above system work great.
