So you've done it. You've bought a top-of-the line (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/alienwares-core-i7-980x-infused-area-51-desktop-gets-reviewed/) computer (http://www.engadget.com/tag/computer/) and turned your once-scary basement into the home theater (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hometheater/) of your dreams. But, since the HTPC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/HTPC/) is well, a computer, you're probably still using the age-old mouse and keyboard combo. Veho, a company that once claimed to have the world's smallest camcorder (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/vehos-muvi-adventure-oriented-camcorder-claims-to-be-worlds-sm/), recently announced a device called the "Mimi wifi Keyboard & Air Mouse with game controller." A long name indeed, but suitable considering the number of buttons found on this Xbox 360 gamepad lookalike. It's got everything you'd expect in an all-in-one computer-controlling unit -- including a motion sensor to control the mouse, separate buttons for left- and right-clicking and a range of around 33 feet. The controller is compatible with both Windows (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Windows/) and Mac (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Mac/) via a USB dongle, but the customizable buttons will only work on a Microsoft machine. If you're ready to take computing and gaming, along with your dignity, to a whole new level, hit up the source link to drop around 150 bones (£90) for this hybrid gadget.
