You could go for a wireless Keyboard / mouse

or you could go for a Microsoft Media Centre Remote (http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=20578)

but I think you need Media Center (http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=16054) to use it
Can anyone confirm?

dont really like wireless stuff, call me old fashioned!!

that media centre remote looks pretty handy if it works with wmp etc :)

thanks for the reply

The Windows Media remote is full of bugs and problems stear clear!!!

Best way probably go for a little wireless mouse and keyboard combo.
