I use http://www.fentek-ind.com/wireless.htm#kbmwtb
It's PS/2 so Linux thinks it's just any other PS/2 keyboard. I taught my
programmable remote all the keystrokes so I didn't have to bother with
LIRC on the front-end. It works perfectly.
If you get an RF keyboard instead of IR, you won't be able to teach a
remote the commands, so you'll still need LIRC. IR is fine if you have a
direct line of site.
