Default HTPC keyboard

I picked up a new keyboard/mouse for my HTPC. I'm very happy with it, and right now there's a $50 rebate on it. http://www.frys.com/product/5748752?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG
what keyboards are everyone else using for HTPCs?

I'm using that exact same setup. Gyration air-music remote + compact RF keyboard. I highly recommend that combo too if you want a nice small keyboard with excellent range, and a learning remote that gives superb mouse control.

I use the wireless trackball/keyboard that came with my media center PC. On the other HTPCs I use my laptop with VNC software.

I am thinking about getting a Keyboard+trackball option as well. As of right now I use a wired mouse and keyboard while sitting 5feet away from the TV. I don't use it that often but would like to get it changed.

Depends on the type of user.. i guess
I use the Logitech Dinovo mini(wireless) which has a nice design.
For me it satisfies surfing in the net , writing short messages (emails) or other , and for controlling my HTPC.

Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro Keyboard for the PS3 but using it on my PC because I don't own a PS3. Got a Bluetooth USB dongle too, both off ebay. $50 all in all.
