[geeks] Wireless keyboard for Mac suitable for living room?

I've finally gotten the Mac Mini hooked up in my living room (didn't have a
DVI->HDMI adapter before), and moved the AppleTV to the bedroom.  While the
Mini's main use has been just to serve up content via iTunes, and "play"
with sometimes, and I can access FrontRow with my Harmony One, I'd like to
have the convenience of being able to use the thing as a computer still
(hey, a 40" 1920 x 1080 display is nice for showing some things off. plus
full-screening Hulu.com videos means some nice TV-on-demand).

 

Running a USB cable to the couch is doable, but I'd really prefer wireless
keyboard/mouse.  Integrated trackpad or trackball might make more sense for
couch use. I know that there are plenty of cheap wireless PC keyboard
options, but to please the lady of the house, having the Apple keycaps will
ease some pain.

 

Has anyone got suggestions about what wireless mac keyboard and pointing
device might be best for living room use?

 

Regards,

            -Anthony
