Via Tech Report:

Looking for a diminutive keyboard for your home-theater PC? Chill Innovations has an interesting Bluetooth device that might do the trick. The KB-1BT combines a keyboard and touchpad in a device that looks no larger than a plus-sized smartphone. An LED backlight provides illumination for the keyboard, and there's an integrated flashlight if you can't find your bowl of popcorn in the dark.

There's a more detailed spec sheet (PDF so I didn't want to link directly), linked from TR's quick article.

I really like my Apple Wireless Keyboard for my HTPC, but this might just work as a replacement if/when the inevitable beer or glass of wine kills the Apple keyboard off.

Here's one I saw at Microcenter the other day:

What I want for a remote is something that has a directional pad and green button that are easily usable with one hand, but a keyboard / mouse you can use with two hands.  Something like a Logitech Dinovo that had the directional buttons on the top of the clamshell when closed, for example.

As it stands, I need a remote for normal stuff and once in a while a wireless keyboard for email, etc.

There are a zillion of them on Amazon, including a laser pointer - ProMini, Anker, DBTech, with or without iPad support and... I lost track.

People are trying to pair them with Android tablets. Some say they work.

I know... This one just looked particularly well designed.

Yeah, the design & quality looks better. But considering the price... it seems it sells in Europe for the equivalent of ~90USD.

European prices don't always (or even usually) carry across the pond in a straight currency-conversion manner, but if that is the price, then it would be way too much...
