Looking for Wireless Mouse + Keyboard for HTPC

[SKYMTL]

I am setting up a low-cost HTPC built around an ASRock ION 330 and I was wondering which wireless keyboard / mouse combo I should be looking at. I would like the combo to be as compact as possible and the keyboard doesn't have to be full size. Cost should be less than $75CAD and have a range of ~9ft.

Any ideas?

This keyboard looks promising: NCIX.com - Buy I-ROCKS RF-6520-BK RF2.4GHZ Ultra Slim Wireless Mini Keyboard PS3/XBOX/WII Compatible - RF-6520-BK In Canada.

Any of the Logitech combos will work for you. I have an old Logitech cordless elite duo from about 7 years ago that still works fine. I love the spinner wheel volume control. The multimedia keys were set up nicely and never had a problem with the itouch software. I would imagine their products have evolved well since then.

I would have gone for that nMedia one but it looks horribly ugly.

The issue with Logitech keyboards these days is either one of the following:

- Very expensive
- Back order (MK300)
- Massive due to unremovable palm rests

The issue with the iRocks one is the lack of volume controls.

Optimally, I would want the diNovo Mini but that's almost $200.

Another option is the Rapoo 2900: NCIX.com - Buy Rapoo 2900 Touch Slim Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for HTPC Rechargable LI-ION Up to 10M - 2900-Blk In Canada.

Once again backordered though.
