keyboard shopping

want a wireless keyboard with integrated mouse for use lounging around in bed viewing projector image on wall.


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DKZTMG/ this seems to be what I want and I know good things of Logitech but I can't shake the impression that it's not a full size keyboard

http://www.ergogeek.com/perixx-periboard-716-wireless-ergonomic-multi-touchpad-keyboard.html this seems like it IS a fullsize keyboard despite being only half an inch different (more images on defunct amazon page). But it's a brand I've never heard of

anyway um, opinions? advice?

We have the first one for pretty much the same use as you're intending. It is probably a bit smaller than a traditional keyboard, but mostly because there's not any space between the main letter keys and the function keys, and that things like no number pad. It's definitely bigger than the keyboard on my netbook. We've only had it for a short time but I'm pretty happy with it. It's certainly got a better wireless connection to the computer than the previous full sized and separate mouse did, which is a huge plus. For our purposes, the smaller size than the previous full sized keyboard makes it a lot easier to store out of the way - it actually fits on the mini end table, for example - and it's a lot thinner and lightweight.
