I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I
control my mythtv/linux server setup using a Gyration mouse/keyboard
combo. The mouse in this case has gyroscopic and optical modes (auto
switching), so it can be used from the couch. They also claim 30 feet
of range (though I could operate the server in my bedroom 60 ft away in
the living room).<br>

</a> with the<br>
touch pad look like the winners for me.<br>
<br>
I like the idea of touch pads, but i find that when moving across the<br>
screen i have to return my finger back to side of the pad i started at.<br>
Back and forth, back and forth. <br>
<br>
How well does the joystick work as far as ergonomics? Can you scroll<br>
easily? Are the left/right buttons in a good place? Do you press down
on<br>
the joystick to click?<br>
<br>
As far as the touch pad goes, i have kind of an odd problem. I wear
poet <br>
shirts exclusively and they have loose sleeves. Thus my sleeve drags
along<br>
the pad if i move my arm. I'd bet people in the 1600s had the same
problem<br>
with their laptops.</blockquote>

The touch pad on that keyboard is placed batter then on most laptops.
I have big hands and on most lap tops with my hands at 'home row' my
thumb rests on the touch pad and causes the mouse pointer to move and
click on stuff. But I don't have that problem with that keyboard. I
can't say if you will have a problem with your shirt or not though. <br>

HTPC is also my main work computer so this keyboard will be my main<br>
keyboard as well. Note that i use the numeric keypad rarely. <br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
