what's the final solution to a htpc keyboard? picrel is cheap and shit
>>101205627gyro remote and just a good quality bluetooth keyboard
I wish windows had an Xbox-like UI option so I can navigate entirely with a controller
That Model M wannabe keyboard with the wannabe trackpoint
>>101205634no>>101205692retard
>>101205627Is this really the best there is? I need to buy something for my htpc, my K120's cord doesn't reach the couch. Actually I think I'd kill for a regular tv-like remote I could map with xmodmap or something.
>>101207086it does seem that every wireless keyboard with a touchpad in production is shit
>>101205627The k830 model is much better if you can find it
>>101205627Are there any ones with trackball?
I got a plate of aluminum and used RTV silicone to glue a 60% keyboard next to one of those large Windows based aftermarket touchpads, for use in bed. I am about to upgrade it to a wireless 80% keyboard and an Apple Magic Pad.
>>101207086I bought a gyro-based TV remote for the PC. It works well. It's comfy. There's a full keyboard on the back.
>>101205627>picrel is cheapit isnt
>>101208194>k830 is $400>k400 is $23That's quite a price jump, LOLThere's some off brands that appear to have the features of the k830 for about $50.... if they actually work at all.
>>101205627>>101205690unironically steamos as htpc ui with controller>>101208998i have it and it works fine as long as you're smoking crack
>>101205627Air mouse that's remote control on one side and keyboard on the other
>>101209149imagine this but with a steam deck-style trackpad
>>101205627Final solution you say?
>>101209373Don't even really need that, it works like a wiimote
>>101205627anything like what you posted.
i have something kinda like this >>101208478 but its an OEM product and so sturdily built i could beat every frogposter on this board over the head with it and it would keep working fine
>>101205627that + wireless controller with steam big picture and kodi/jellyfin is my current set up. its not perfect but works for me.
The pepper jobs remote. + backup cheap ass keyboard/mouse.If you need a full size keyboard for anything other than initial setup and debugging, its a bad htpc
>>101205690>I wish windows had an Xbox-like UIthoughts only dreamed up by the utterly deranged
>>101205627this kind of keyboard is what you use as a melee weapon not for actual use. Get a decent mech and delete this thread
>>101205627I have no idea what your problem is with the Logitech kb/pad combos because they work just fine for light stuff, which is all htpc should be.Bluetooth isn't great though, go for unifying receiver if you have the option. Much more responsive and won't lose it's pairing or get hijacked by another device randomly.
>>101210719yeah why would i have that on my couch instead of a remote to search for shit on stremio or youtube, i dont need to code on my tv you mongoloid
>>101205627I use one of those, it's fine.If you don't mind typing with your thumbs there's shit like the Rii mini.>>101211273Bluetooth mice were a mistake.
>>101205627The wireless trackpoint keyboard
>>101205690use joytokeyit's freeyou can use one of your sticks to move the mouse, and your triggers as left/right click.
>>101205627What are your gripes with it? It's been working alright for me, except:- uses AA batteries which can run out fast unless you turn it off- mildly annoying if you forget turning it on before using it- doesn't use Bluetooth but some proprietary tech with less reach + the USB receiver takes up a port on your PC- still can't figure out what that yellow button is supposed to do- some keys like arrow and return are smaller than on standard keyboardsFor the price it does the job.

>>101205627I fucking hate this thing. it feels horribly cheap and is terrible to type on. the touchpad has annoying drag to it. absolutely horrible product.
>>101212029>still can't figure out what that yellow button is supposed to doIt's a mouse click. It is based, because then you can hold the keyboard on both sides, use your thumb to move on the touchpad with right hand, and thumb on left hand to click. Makes for good ergonomics, and best way to navigate with mouse when sitting on the couch.>>101205627picrel is cheap and based*
>>101209055Is SteamOS constantly updated? Does it have a video player? I want to use it once I complete my SFF build.
