I use the Adesso WKB-4000US model. It's wireless, not Bluetooth. It has a 
touchpad. Works very well, and very convenient not to need a separate mouse 
when using it for ordinary (non-Myth) computer operations. The only slight 
problem is that to conserve energy it goes to sleep after a while and the 
initial key press has to be repeated. It has no LEDs to indicate whether 
CapsLock etc is activated, if battery power is low, but I think a later 
version (may even have the same model number) does have LED indicators.

The USB receiver dongle works out-of-the-box (on Ubuntu).
