[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 53854, member: 14215"] Im starting to realize that even though the remote is nice, it would be a good idea to have a keyboard with a small touchpad/stick/trackball to work with the HTPC. I know MS makes one, but does it work with WinXP SP2+MP(or can be made to?) and is it any good?

Both of them use IR to communicate with the PC which seems like a bad idea when mouse-like functionality is needed. Which is better and what are the alternatives? [/QUOTE]
