Hey all.

I know a lot of people use a HDMI cable to their HDTV to use their computer.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a keyboard and mouse without setting up a table by the couch. This would allow me to sit comfortable still. I know there are various gamepads and things made for this type of situation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not really the answer I was looking for. Wireless is obvious. I mean actual devices. Forexample, a regular mouse would not function properly on your lap :P

Most likely a Trackball or similar.

Optical/laser mice will work on soft surfaces, just be sure you keep the surface clear of any dirt or hair-type things. I personally promote Logitech hardware, though I'm guilty of having a Razer Naga mouse. If you're going to be in front of the big TV often, then get a laptop table for laptop computers (they usually make them for better air flow, etc) with a fold-out mouse sidebar.

My life size doll, she is from Ukraine and anatomically correct, never minds when I use the tv to play Everquest for twelve hours at a time. She usually sits next to me and watches.

Get a Wirelesss Keyboard and mOuse (i personally like to use a trackball, less moving around) and a lapdesk http://www.google.com/shopping/product/12920984416732650705?hl=en&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS431US431&sclient=psy-ab&q=lapdesk&oq=lapdesk&gs_l=serp.4..0l4.12915.12915.1.13206.1.1.0.0.0.0.7 1.71.1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.4qauyrcsZuA&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1357316858,d.dmQ&biw=1007&bih=375&sa=X&ei=zqHtUKumJ-qz0QHJnYHAAQ&ved=0CGwQ8wIwAQ

sit back and play away! You raise your font size if you can't see text in the game, really the biggest issue when playing on the couch depending on how far from your tv it is
