Mini wireless keyboard/mouse recomendations?

I'd like to add a wireless keyboard/mouse combo to my HTPC.

I don't need anything that I can type a novel on, I just want to be able to type in search terms and have a mouse to use when not in the SageTV interface.

Small size is more important than ergonomics. Range isn't too important since my sofa is only 10 ft from the TV.


Can anyone recommend a good, small, but relatively cheap (around $50) mini wireless keyboard/mouse combo?


Here are a couple that i am looking at. Does anyone have hands on experience with any of these?

Will these remotes work to wake up my SageTV computer from sleep mode?

I've been really happy with the Adesso wireless keyboard .. very small and trackpad is a big improvement over a joystick.

I have used the EFO for two months now and love it, especially the backlight feature. I'm thinking of getting another, but trying to talk the tech guys in Hong Kong to make me up two usb dongles with the same rf serial so I can move the remote with me from box to box, and it is sounding like they are about to do this for me.

Thanks for the replies.

I think that I am leaning towards the Lenovo keyboard. Does anyone here own one? How do you like it?

The EFO is a close second: smaller size, rechargeable battery, backlight, cheap.

I recently used one of the "EFO" Wireless Keyboard/Track Pad at a friends house. It seems to work well enough, but it a little flimsy for $40.
