With all the keys you need from a normal keyboard, it's the best interface for a computer plugged into a TV. Browse the web, check e-mails, control your media centre software.

With it's smooth, curved finish, ergonomic design, and brushed metal detailing effect, this home theatre PC keyboard and mouse compliments any home theatre. It's modern. It's mini.
