When using Mac Mini as a HTPC what are you using for wireless keyborad/mouse/trackpad

I use my iPhone and the Mobile Mouse app.

If your willing to spend the money, then I would say the Bluetooth keyboard and the bluetooth wireless trackpad. There are also some keyboard/trackpad all in ones sold out there (logitech), but to get the most out of the Mac (lion) Then you gotta have the trackpad for the multitouch gestures.

I'm still on the edge about purchasing a mini as a HTPC, but if I do I would use the Bluetooth keyboard I bought with the iPad (and never used) and purchase the trackpad. I just don't know if I want to drop the $700 on one when I have a MacBook pro that still works like the day I got it, and an iPad.

Logitech media board pro not got a mini yet but that is what I will be using.

Haven't used it with a HTPC setup, but bought one of these for a 42" LCD touchscreen in my classroom (the on screen KB not good). it's pretty much like a laptop without a screen but much lighter.

I used to use Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Trackpad with this. Now I just use an iPad or my iPhone.

my iPad 2 likely....

What do you use on your ipad/iPhone? Thx

Well, even though I don't have a mac mini, I use an app called pearpad (available on the iOS app store), which is a cheap application that turns your iphone/touch/iPad into a trackpad and/or keyboard to control your computer. The only catch is you need to have the pearpad desktop application, a free application, and wi-fi running in order for the set up to work. Also, the app doesn't turn your iOS device into a second monitor, but by the sounds of it, you won't be needing it.
