<div>I use a standard RF Keyboard/Mouse - I can't recall the model number, but I think its MS. Works fine - just about any should do I would think.</div>

<div>I use a Home Theater Master MX-700 from Universal Remote Control and love it. However, I cannot in good concious recommend it because they recently changed their software policy and its a royal pain to get the software to program it.

<div>Another keyboard option, if you can find one, would be to get an IR keyboard/mouse. You can then program the remote control to send the same IR signals as the keyboard and then you don't need to fuss with lirc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course I imagine that using the IR keyboard might be trickier than an RF Keyboard because of the line of sight business.</div>
