Redoing the office into a room for the new baby, so I'll be hooking up my system to the big screen in the living room, till I finish the office in the basement.
I'll be about 15' away on the couch from the TV (it's a 57"), so I'll need some sort of wireless keyboard with a built-in track ball or touchpad.
Is there such a beast with that kind of range? I've looked into some wireless solutions but they seem to be geared for the desktop, with only a couple feet of range.
Thanks all for any advice or tips.

15' is no problem for any of the KBs I've tried. Do they actually say the range is a few feet? I used to take my roomate's Logitech KB and lock myself in a neighboring room, trying to do things while he fought me with the mouse. It was a good 20 ft.

Know of a good one with an integrated pointing device like a trackball or touchpad?

I connected my PC to my 30" LCD in the L-Room using a double DVI video card and 15ft DVI cable but used a clipboard with the mouse pad and everything was wireless

They are huge. The amount of product they move is phenomenal, and with a good deal with FedEx, the price delivered is always among the best. Add great customer service and I never bother shopping around.

I used to have the Logitech wireless media keyboard, and I was able to take that thing to bed and control the music from there. I'm not sure how far away it was, but I'm guessing between 10-15 feet. Maybe that will work for you?

I would suggest logitech keyboard and mouse LX700 but you said you wanted a built in mouse so check this out. I've hear rave reviews about it. http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=Interlink+VersaPoint

I have a Logitech combo at work but for the home I went with an eBay 2-tone 30 dollar combo that works up to 20+ feet (My place is not big enought to try it farther ), and it has phenomenal features. It even shuts off the mouse after 5 minutes of inactivity.
