The keyboard is designed with the standard 108 key layout, and possesses hot keys that can be used to quickly and easily access My TV, My Music, My Video, and My Pictures.

The mouse is a typical three button mouse that is designed differently than other mice. It is very angular and flat, and operates with a laser tracking device, making it a very accurate and reliable mouse, if a bit awkward looking. This keyboard sells for $69.95 USD from the Iogear website.
