Don't you just love it when a plan comes together...

Ah, I love it when something just works. I bought a tiny little wireless keyboard and mouse for the HTPC today, plugged the receiver in, did the pairing up thing, started typing, and it worked right off. Range isn't brilliant - it's an RF thing, so just a couple of metres - but it'll do its job nicely. No more yanking the keyboard cable out every ten minutes when I'm trying to watch a movie...
