Nice Handheld Keyboard for HTPC

[VettleBolt]

I'm Looking for a new keyboard that fits nicely in your hands (I'm Tired of using a full Sized Keyboard for my HTPC, i am in Australia and would like a nice low priced one.

I want something similar to the Cideko Wireless air keyboard that Linus reviewed a few years ago, i would also like it to be able to power on my HTPC from the keyboard its self.

( I know i can set this up in the BIOS, What i mean is, I would like a keyboard with a power button for the PC) any good Recommendations?

 

Thanks

Rii mini is a piece of shit. I'm speaking from experience. Poor build quality, terrible battery life and average range of 10 feet. One of the biggest problems with the small HTPC remotes is that the RF transceiver is extremely underpowered resulting in uncontrollable random mouse movement and clicking when the battery is low. I find that blue tooth works better. If I were you I'd give the Dinovo a try like ShadowCaptain suggested.

its for 2 hands its a bit like using an xbox 360 pad I guess and you type with your thumbs

You are telling me you have never used a game controller in your life? even seen or held one... even as a kid or something - like the size of any gamepad if you have used one

 

heck most PC gamers own a 360 pad for their PC too,

All of these can be used with two thumbs. If you're looking for something bigger the next best thing is K400 from logitech. I have one and love it.

don't know if it's still being sold but the dinovo edge is really nice, it's really clicky for a non mechanical keyboard
