Anyone try the Cideko Wireless Air Keyboard. This is the little mini keyboard that has gyroscopic stuff built-in for mouse movement. Seems to have good reviews on newegg and amazon. I just ordered one from Meritline. This thing: http://www.cideko.com/pro_con.php?id=3

I just tried a Gear Head Wireless Touch keyboard. It was ok. Range wasn't good enough though. I'm sitting about 10 feet from my HTPC and it would drop out if I leaned back. I'm returning that one.

My current setup is a Logitech Dinovo mini for the table near where we sit for quick things...
and one of those Xgene,Adesso type wireless keyboards with the trackball and scroll wheel for more typing needed. This one has poor range too.

I really don't like the Dinovo mini, especially the mouse control and was looking for something a little better. I'd really like to replace both keyboards with something that is a little smaller then the bigger keyboard but still useable, and has good range. The dinovo mini has the best range for me.

Looks OK! How much do they cost?

You can see it in action on this Youtube video
