media pc keyboard

utajoker · 8 Aug 2014 at 11:33

Hi

im going ot use my old pc to connect to my living room tv and use it to play media, im looking for a keyboard with a built in track pad to control it as i dont really have a proper surface for a mouse.

it will only be used for films and netflix so a track pad should be fine tbh.

dont want to spend more than £30- £40 really.

any suggestions?

thx.

you can pick up a Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 for between £20-30 use one on my media centre.

Use a K400 as well, has a tiny receiver plugged into a front usb port. Never had an issue with it and still on the original batteries.

Another vote for the k400 here. Ideal for the needs you described.

+1 for k400, really easy to use. Had a tiny anker keyboard also with a laser pointer, really nice for size but the mouse was impossible and typing was impossible. So, not ideal. Thats why i went for the k400.

I like the rii mini keyboards.

I use the Logitech DiNovo mini for XBMC and find it perfect, though granted I rarely have to do to much typing on it

i can find it for £31.

We have a few of these at work for controlling the raspberry pis connected to our TVs, wicked little things

Exactly the same

Use the track pad 95pc of the time
