How do you guys feel about Microsoft's Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 & 8000? They seem comfortable on the lap and perfect for a HTPC.

So I went and bought an MX revolution. Definitely not looking back. I love how the mouse wheel can goto click scroll to smooth scrolling. The thumb scroll wheel is going to take some getting use to but should be awesome for snipping. Thanks guys! I might wait to get that $200 keyboard though..
