Mine is a no-name chineese device I picked up at ACP, about $40 I
think. It needs no drivers. Standard keyboard and mouse plugs in
to the back of the PC from an IR adapter that I stick to the side of
my monitor. The IR lights on the back of the keyboard have to be
pointed roughly toward the adapter. I haven't really tested range,
normally use about 3-4 feet. FOV about 90 degrees. The
keyboard has a little joystick button under the right thumb, and two
mouse buttons under the left thumb. Takes a little getting used to.
Full speed mouse track across the screen takes over a second.
My response in trying to hit an icon is always underdamped -- I
have to jiggle it up and down to get it centered. But it's kind of nifty
being able to curl up on the couch with a keyboard without wires.
