Hello,

I have configured my htpc to almost full extend. I am now controlling the PC through an infrared remote. I would like to switch to RF remote, but I need one with a wide reception area (about 10-20 meters, more is better). Features I would like to have are

- *stable* Girder plugin for Win-XP (source would be good but it is no must)
- USB transceiver
- (maybe) included learning remote for IR, too

Furthermore I am looking for a decent wireless keyboard and optical mouse with a wide reception area (about 10-20 meters, more is better). I was looking at ebay, around the web but I only found wireless keyboard and mouse with at max. 5 meters reception area. That is not enough for me.

I am living in Germany so it would be good to find products that I can buy at a local dealer.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon !

regards and greetings from Brandenburg,
StefanW

Hello,

I have looked for the ATI remote II, price would be about 25 Euro, that is okay.

For the Gyration wireless keyboard and mouse I was shocked about the 289 Euros per set :/

Either I get it somewhere on ebay or

do you know another comparable and cheaper wireless keyboard and optical mouse (as I saw the price let's say 10 meters are enough). I would spend at maximum 100 Euro on that (keyb+mouse).

regards,
StefanW
