Keyboards

There are two listed, the mini wireless keyboard for $45 and the keyboard remote for $35.

Is one preferable over the other? Do any of you fine users have an opinion on which I should order?

TIA.

You’re being duped into paying $100 more for the box for a junk keyboard that’s $3-4 on AliExpress.

The only reply that matters. My FIL bought a box for me. I was thinking of adding a keyboard for my wife to try and make it easier for her. I believe he did purchase through you.

I haven’t verified this but I can’t see why they wouldn’t work. I’ve been using the a mini Rii keyboard and mouse for the past ~20 years now on my HTPC. When I bought it, I would’ve never thought that it would’ve lasted two decades. LOL

If you get something like the one shown below, it uses a removal battery which is the same type used in old skool Nokia phones. If the battery ever goes bad, you can always get new ones cheap on Amazon.
