Hi,
I would like to share my experiences with some Cherry keyboards with you - the following models work fine with the combination mentioned in the subject:
Cherry eVolution STREAM Corded MultiMedia Keyboard
http://www.amazon.de/Cherry-eVolution-Mu...202&sr=8-1
I use this excellent keyboard on many PCs for years now and tried it on my Revo - works excellent, including the Multimedia keys on the top.
So I searched for a wireless equivalent and found this first:
Cherry eVolution Sirius XT (M82-24800)
http://www.amazon.de/Cherry-M82-24800DE-...371&sr=1-1
Paid 20 Euros for the set - and returned it after less than one hour use, but NOT because of any issues regarding XBMC Live and the Revo, but because of the poor build quality (apart from the pinching right shift key).
Maybe the right keyboard for someone who only needs one from time to time, but I was looking for a keyboard for every day use as a remote controller replacement.
Finally I bought this one:
Cherry B.Unlimited Home Rechargeable Desktop
http://www.amazon.de/Cherry-B-Unlimited-...692&sr=1-1
And it rocks. Very high build quality and excellent look & feel (similar to the corded Stream), high remote range.
It does NOT have multimedia keys, but you can use "+" and "-" keys for volume level, arrow keys for skip and/or next track etc.
The mice from both sets do also work as they should, but I do rarely need them.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask ;-)
