Hi,

I want something that I can use as a remote for my tv pc but would not mind also having keyboard/trackball/pad on it.
I don't want to use a cellphone (tried and "ok" but really not all that great, also want it to stay with the pc).

I currently use a wireless keyboard/mouse but want smaller and preferably 1 handed usage for standard buttons (volume, play, pause, next etc).

I also want it to not chew batteries (or if rechargeable a charge once a week would be about as much as I would be happy with).

Any suggestions?

I have the Xtreamer mini wireless keyboard that Scoop used to carry but they seem to have dropped the brand entirely ..maybe call them to check? Esquire has this offering but I can't tell you what it's like and I'm sure the 90's want that trackball in the corner back!

Logitech Harmony Remote + Flirc infrared receiver :p

Where would one get the receiver, its always been the one irritating thing about Harmony Remotes at least for me.

Never mind found the local supplier.

I looked at that esquire thing and besides not seeing volume buttons I also did not like the trackball all that much.

Anywhere local I can get one?

See Dion used to sell them but they are out of stock.

Yes I use one. Pretty good and rechargable.

The model I have has a touchpad like a laptop, but you cannot switch the tap to click off. Which sometimes makes me drag and drop files all over the place :D

I got mine today :D

Just gotta figure out how to remap some keys on xbmc (so I do not have to use the fn button) and I will be good to go :)
