I am pleased with my Adesso SlimTouch Wireless 
<http://www.adesso.com/products_detail.asp?productid=281>. It works ten 
metres away from the receiver in an adjacent room. It does not need a 
special driver and it includes a laptop-style touch pad. Even the 
vertical scroll bar on that works with Linux and MythTV. It is small and 
light weight which makes it look and feel a bit flimsy but it has 
survived an unintended drink of a rough Australian red wine.

The diNovo Mini 
<http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=US,EN> 
is a bit more expensive but it is very good looking and I might choose 
it if it worked with MythTV and with the computer's BIOS.
