Best sofa based keyboard mouse options?

[prvt.donut]

Most of the small Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad solutions I see are designed primarily for windows systems.

I have seen some cool ones made by Rii, they have a full backlit keyboard and touch panel in a device that looks like a large remote control.
It seems nice but I would like something with the dedicated Mac keys.

So what do you use?

I use the Apple wireless keyboard and magic trackpad for couch based computing.

I can't get them to work in my ht, but they did work in my kitchen with a wall mounted iMac.

I use a bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad joined together with a 12South Magic Wand. There are several solutions for creating a single joined keyboard/trackpad and you can find an extensive thread here on MacRumors discussing these items.

!!!lame!!!

Wow, is that the best consensus at the moment? Apple keyboard and magi-touch.

And then to use something to link them together to make them even bigger.

*Troll rant over*

Is there nothing that is remote control sized backlit keyboard and touch panel?

I am looking at this, but the positive reviews look like shills.

with this

as no wireless apple gear will work due to some unknown interference.

to make it worse I have to use a 6 foot usb extension to reach the mini and keep the wired keyboard on a coffee table along with the mouse. drive me freaken nuts that I can't control the mini any other way in that room.

What about this? It's a USB wireless keyboard, with two mouse buttons and a trackball from Lenovo.

That looks like the best option so far, the cheap unknown brand models look cool, but I trust Logitech to make good devices.

I have the same setup like a lot of people. Wireless Magic Pad and Magic Keyboard. I honestly think you have to get the Magic Pad. The gestures alone makes OSX Lion awesome to work with. My work computer is Windows 7 and after using the OSX Lion hand gestures my experience is a bit inefficient at work. I love internet surfing the best where you can go back and fourth with just a two finger swipe. I love being able to pull up mission control too!!

iPod Touch, iPhone with the rowmote pro app. that's realy great!
So if you own that already than you might want to check it out.

works over wifi. and if you don't own a wireless router, your mac can be used to act as one.

I think there are some nice benefits to this. You have apple keyboard and trackpad and you can sit it on your lap. They already have a full aluminum one in production with good reviews, the color ones are now following.

Hi,
I found this to be the best small keyboard on the market:

Of cos Apple wireless keyboard n magic mouse

 

[gigaguy]

I use apple bt KB, and I love the magic mouse, much prefer it over the Magic Pad which I had for a while. I think it depends on the person. both are good.

BUT I desperately want a Backlit key option in a wireless KB. I saw one model I think it was Logitech and it was too big and pricey. If apple would offer a backlit wirless KB I'd be very happy.

anyone know of other good backlit models??
