Is this the blingest ever keyboard? Even if it made sense, it wouldnt be worth £150. Microsofts latest wireless keyboard is effectively an advanced Windows Vista update to its Remote MCE (Media Center Edition) device. The set includes a Bluetooth k...

To make using the controls on your HTPC easier it will require the use of a far more complex keyboard and a full functional mouse. Another requirement for the mouse and keyboard is t...

We have used the mouse and keyboard with our Home Theater PC for the better part of two and one half weeks and I have to say that there was a slight bit of getting used to it. I started off by having problems with the touch sensitive keys but after t...

Microsofts Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 8000 ($299.95 list) is all play and no work. For that chunk of change, youre not likely to buy it for your desktop, though. This keyboard and mouse set is meant to be used while youre sitting on your couc...

Good design and key arrangement. Both keyboard and mouse use AAA rechargeable batteries with a docking station. Lots of media-centric keys. Good feel to the keys. Moderately ergonomic.
Charging station takes up a lot of desk or shelf space. Expensive.
The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 8000 is a good-looking but expensive option for your living-room computing. If you can stomach the price, we recommend it for couch-bound use, though it wont be a good fit for your desktop...
