Ongoing keyboard or imon remote or both? (1 Viewer)

[Kian]

hi guys,

i have a silverstone gd01-mx with a imon remote. when using my newly assembled htpc it was a bit annoying that i do not have a keyboard for surfing the net...

is there a possibility to use the case IR for both the imon remote and a keyboard, such as Microsoft MCE? are there other keyboards which could be used together with the imon remote?

it would be also handy if the keyboard would use bluetooth/2.4ghz technology or infrared (IR receiver should be small)

any solution suggestions?

you could check this site out for thier products.
Globlink – RF keyboard, RF mouse, Presenter, Free wheel mouse, Ring mouse Note must use IE for thier website.
THey provide 2.4Ghz keyboards with trackball integrated. The new models include USB recharging. The one I have is an old model and is the remote for MP. rather large but never gets lost lol.... I replace my batteries every 4 months since I do not have recharge feature but does work thru walls if you know the key strokes of MP. the media buttons I have not get to work, but never really focused on getting them to work either. Also, big bonus was that no software for my keyboard was required. Mine is not avaialble or pictured any more.......

I have a good 2.4Ghz keyboard: Keyboards classic-style ACK-540 RF.

I also have a imon remote and as you can see in my signature, one of my most wanted feature is built-in keyboard shortcut for media keys in MP.

thanks,
i am about to buy the keysonic ack 540 keyboard. but i still have a few questions: how long is the battery lifetime? also, i am going to use the blutooth dongle in my closed tv rack (wood), could this pose a problem for signal reception?

Battery life is 3 months for me, but I use rechageble ones so this is not at all a problem.

The USB receiverr in in the back of my HTPC that is inside a drawer of a piece of furniture in wood and works like a charm.

Any direct user experience comparisons between the ack 540 mentioned above (looks like a different brand of the Adesso) and the diNovo Edge?

Thanks.
