    Most wireless keyboards only have a range of 2 meters or so , this one is specially made for MCE and HTPC's and has a 9 metre range.

    I have it and it works like a charm , it has a joystick type mousebutton ( kind of like the red button on a thinkpad ) .

    Its expensive , but no other keyboard works so well with a HTPC setup. ( at least not that I have found anyway )

    i have this aswell, it doesnt come with a reciever...jsut to let you know, however if you already have a mce remote, it will work with that reciever. you also have to update to roll up 2...not a big deal

    i really like it its very compact, and has a lock function, also loads of media keys, and it can 'learn' to do different functions!

    i find the mouse very very irritating tho, you really have to force the little thing around! but if its for a dedicated htpc, you wont really be needing a mouse that much so....

    The cheapest place I found to get one was Savastore.com

    I got one there recently, although make sure anything you buy off them is in stock otherwise they're all over the place with deliveries.

    Only got to set it up last night and it's the business. The only draw back is the mouse point, it's quite difficult to use. It's positioned well but it's a bit tempramental, I'm sure I'll get used to it though.
