Specs

While it's not strictly a Media Center keyboard, KeySonic's Wireless-Mini is well suited to controlling a PC from your sofa. With its compact keyboard and touch pad, it looks like half a laptop.

The touch pad is easy to use thanks to its large surface area, accurate pointer movement and large buttons.

There's no numeric keypad, but holding down the Fn key assigns this function to other keys. The Wireless-Mini's main problem is its lack of short cut buttons for quickly controlling media playback or adjusting volume.

The Wireless-Mini's touch pad works better than the Trust Vista Remote Keyboard's trackball and the Genius Media Cruiser's touch stick. If it had Media Center-specific short cut buttons it would be perfect. Still, due to the accuracy of the touch pad, it's the best keyboard in the group for controlling a living-room PC.
