unfortunately it seems like bluetooth accessories have all but disappeared.

I've never used a bluetooth keyboard or mouse that had anywhere near the range of a 2.4ghz RF setup.

werd what would you suggest for a home theater pc setup?

obviously a regular rf setup but any particular model ?

What kind of range are you looking for?

I have a bluetooth mouse that gets a good 30ft of range. A keyboard should be in the same ballpark.

I've heard really good things about this guy

Never used it, but a friend had one of the first gen Gyration combo's and it worked REALLY well as a rudimentary HTPC control. The new remote/mouse is about 10,000 times better than the one I used, and it was GOOD.

^I have a first-gen also ... it's a great piece of gear, I'll have to check out the new one sometime.

i mean like 10 ft would be fine as long as the signal was solid

but i don't like the typing delays and my mouse is un-useable at that range

Ive got this for the HTPC and love it. Has a built-in trackball, great 2.4ghz range, great battery life, feels like keys on a laptop
