Whats the coolest most easy to use Media Centre Remote out there?

Mouse function & Backlight would be a bonus, anyone know :confused:

Been thinking about this:

but no air mouse function

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

WOW thats exactly what I was looking for! How much is this and where can I get one. What is it like to use, would you recommend one?

I got this [1] for my parents HTPC and I gotta say - its pretty darn cool.

Full QWERTY keyboard, media centre controls AND a touchpad mouse. Its also rechargable and has an attached cover so it deals with being sat on very well.

Unfortunately, its rather expensive.

I got it off the bay, cost me £24.98 with free delivery.

So far so good, it does what i want it to do, basic mouse function with the trackball, and various buttons that do different things, for the price it's ok

Nice bit of kit, but its the price what puts me off them, when they come down in price, but not at over £100 :eek:

Yep the bay one should do nicely, should be able to take a few knocks here and there because Im always dropping the remote. Wouldnt like to drop the £100 logitech, but does look nice though.
