There was a time when computer keyboards were little more than bland, beige planks with nary a unique feature to be found, but that certainly isn't the case anymore. Today there are tons of higher-end keyboards to choose from, the latest of which comes from Adesso.
Adesso's newest entry into the 'not-just-another-plank' category consists of the WKB-4200UB, a wireless keyboard thanks to its 2.4GHz RF combo controller, giving the keyboard a range of 30 feet.. There's a touchpad nestled over to the side, but even so, the WKB-4200UB still boasts a full-sized QWERTY keyboard.
The touchpad isn't the only unusual feature. Adesso says you can use multiple units in the same room, a trick made possible because of 6500 IDs on 12 different channels.
This one's available now for $120.

Hrm, thats pretty darn similar to the Logitech diNovo Edge ... which happens to get a month of battery life and virtually flawless reception at a higher cost though. Still, I like my Edge better.

I've been looking here and there for a wireless keyboard I could use on my laptop when it's plug into my TV. Unfortunately most of these Adesso Wireless RF boards get rather poor reviews on the Egg.

My PC is plugged into my HDTV all the time, and aside from the price this looks perfect. Is there anything else out there that would let me use my computer from the couch without a separate mouse? This thing is almost half the price of a netbook.
