I've got a Mac Mini as my home entertainment machine, and I'm currently using a regular wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I don't really have a great mousing surface, so I'd like to use something like a trackpad or trackball.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

The keyboard doesn't have to be Mac specific. I have no problems using OS X's key remapping.

You can try Logitech diNovoEdge

I like them, but they just feel so pricey... – Bob King Jul 16 '09 at 13:53

I use the Logitech Bluetooth Mediaboard Pro with my PS3/Linux and I believe it works well with a Mac Mini (caveated with the keyboard mapping). Lightweight, trackpad works well and is integrated, and the fact that it's bluetooth is nice compared with IR.

looks like it's got mixed feelings from mac users: 123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=109976 – Bob King Jul 16 '09 at 13:57

I use this one, and have found it to be excellent and 100% reliable. It has also withstood the kids for a year now...

If you have an iPhone Air Mouse Pro might be a solution.

I do have AirMouse, but it only feels like a temporary, quick-fix, solution, i.e. if I don't feel like grabbing the keyboard and mouse because it'll only take me a minute. – Bob King Jul 15 '09 at 21:54

I don't know if this will work with a mac, but I've used this one with my PC and found the trackball very accurate and quick to move around the screen.
