wireless mouse/keyboard and internet browser?

Post by majkl83 »

Hello,

I would like to know if its possible to use wireless mouse and keyboard with your NASes to control it without cables.
My other question is if there is or will be some internet browser app. that will allow me surf on internet like on PC (for ex. QNAP uses Chrome in their NASes).

Thanks in advance for respond.

I bought a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/mouse-pad yesterday and it works fine in boxee. Its a little light/plasticy feeling but you plug the USB adaptor (about the size of your thumb nail) into a USB port and start typing.

As for a browser (which boxee also has a built in), if chrome or something else were provided (could only see the point if boxee or any forthcoming xbmc port had it as a replacement for its own) then I would expect it to work.

Sounds great, it will allows me control and use it like multimedia center really easy. I think Im gonna buy NAS from Asustor. Only my concern is about price that is approx about 10 percent higher compared to similiar NAS from QNAP and Synology. (4 bay NAS).

i remember Synology 4 bay NAS doesn't have HDMI video output so there's no way to use the NAS as a media player, besides, it only supports SATAII drives. As to QNAP, 469 Pro is like the most expensive one among all these 4 bay NASes...

Personally, I would like to see Bluetooth integration.

Can anyone confirm if the K400 works with XBMC? I would assume it does
