[mythtv-users] Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

[Martin Moores]

Josh,

Can recommend the following Keysonic keyboard.  Superb compact size and
built in touchpad (30cmx21cm approx).  Just tested the range here and it
works upto a good 10 meters in different rooms etc

I have never had a problem with interference from wireless networks,
although the microwave or my Dad using some power tools kill everything in
this mouse, wireless mice keyboards etc etc!!

Cheers

Martin
