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 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.

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

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.

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 – 2009-07-15T21:54:03.867

I also like my diNovo Edge, but as it gets older, the battery has stopped keeping a charge. I also might recommend the much more svelte.. [Logitech diNovo Mini]. It's surprisingly fast for text entry, has a pointer pad, and is, spiritually, much closer brethren to the old "remote" than the "edge".1…

1I like them, but they just feel so pricey... – Bob King – 2009-07-16T13:53:03.547
