Keyboard needed for HTPC

spudbynight · 26 Jan 2010 at 21:42

Mrs Spudbynight dumped some wine on my current HTPC keyboard and it has died.

What do people recommend to replace it? I don't want to spend more than about £30-£40

Anyone?

I use a Keysonic ACK-540 RF keyboard (out of stock here though

).

Reliable, good range and lasts ages on it's four AAA batteries as well.

Keysonic
+1

That is what I have....nothing worth taking over it then?

Id stick another plus one on the Keysonic with that price range.

There is the dinovo edge, but that is significantly more though....

I have a keysonic on mine and the range is awful

Another vote for the Keysonic.
Mine just works and as stated earlier, batteries last for ages.

Is it the RF or Bluetooth version?

As long as the receiver has line of sight then you can get 20ft+ range. More than enough for most lounges!

i can highly recommend the accuratus toughball, its built like a tank and very nice to use.
it is about £50 though and not many places stock it but if you google the name you will find it.

You wont even need batterys for it! (Ive never understood wireless keyboards and mice)
