Media Centre Remote/Keyboard.

Building a media Pc from a shuttle for under the tv.

I am looking for a keyboard/media remote all in one if possible but dont want something huge, is there one thats inbetween a normal wireless keyboard and the Dinova mini - http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/1770336/art/logitech/dinovo-mini-keyboard.html

I love the idea of the mini, would look gud ont he coffee table ect, but for some preactible web surfing i dont think i could get used to it.

Any advice please appreciated
thanks

Some times these come up on adverts for sale. You need the remote to get the IR receiver which the keyboard also works with. An oldie but goodie as they say.... :pac:

The Dinovo is an excellent product, I already have one and about to buy another.

It does take some getting used to, but as usual from logitech its build quality, features and pure asthetics are excellent.

The only problem that i have found is that since my desktop resoloution is set to 1080p (1900 x 1080) the thumb pad needs several swipes to get from one side of the screen to the other, but otherwise I haven't found any more probems.

To combine 3 things, keyboard, mouse and media remote in one mini package is brilliant.

At around £80 it's expensive but I feel it's well worth it.

I might go with it then, if it feels secure nad not flimsy, plastically and u can work it ok

its 92 in dabs, can u get it any cheaper?

I saw something similar to this on an Aspire compact PC in PC world. It can sit on your lab or you can grip it with one hand. The one I saw had a rubberised finish.
