Keyboard for HTPC
« on: Thu, 14 April 2011, 22:02:46 »
I'm looking to get a new keyboard for use with my HTPC (the one I have now is awful).  For me the most important features are reliable wireless and tenkeyless, followed by a built in trackpad, followed by a backlight.  Anybody have some recommendations for a keyboard that would fit the bill for this type of use?

I did in fact search and notice an older thread about this same thing, but I thought I'd ask again since that was a while ago and he was asking for a full size keyboard which makes no sense to me.  Thanks!

Not what you wanted but works well for me. There is not much out there right now.

Di Novo Edge meets all three requirements.  Google TV keyboard meets everything but the backlight.

So I've been searching around some more and it looks like you have a DiNovo Mini.  Mind telling me what your thoughts on it are?

I have one that I have not used in a while. It's pretty good except that the bluetooth connection is sometimes flaky. Occasionally needed to remove battery and reinsert to restore the connection.
