HTPC question

[shilala]

What mouse and keyboard do you use with your htpc?
What remote/receiver do you use?

Trying to find out what works and what doesn't.
Thanks!!!

I use SnapStream?s firefly remote. (with a generic mouse and keyboard tucked away in the corner if needed, which is not very often).

I don't have one hooked up, I just VNC or SSH into it depending on my needs.

I have a GE optical mouse and really old IBM kb right now (no remote =( ), but I want to get something in wireless, either logitechs 2nd best mouse/kb combo (not that $250 bluetooth thing) or one of Microsofts combos, as well as an MCE remote.

I use the ms bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I tried the both logitechs and microsofts regular ones, but my couch was still too far away for them to work reliably. The bluetooth one works out to atleast 25 feet, can't go any farther back in the room.

i ssh to the machine when i need a keyboard. otherwise, i just use the remote that came with my 2000xp tv deluxe card

i think they might be refering to secure shell???

Anyways, i use the Gyration mini keyboard and gyration mouse! And they are great!
