Wireless keyboards that can turn on/off PCs??
Ive been using laptops for over a decade and haven't bought a keyboard in like 15 years, so forgive me for this stupid question.

Are there any wireless keyboards that have an on/off switch for desktop/laptops?

It would make things easier for my current laptop/TV setup in my living room.

just disable eup in bios so it can power the usb ports while 'off' and enable usb wake in bios

as for turning off, some wireless keyboards have windows power button
or use winkey+x and shutdown

ex. my old k330 keyboard has this combo, anf fn+f6 to lock, or fn+f7 to turn on/off display

Buy a clapper and have the PC plugged into that.

Clap on..Clap off....the Clapper.

Don't even need that 1 button option. Just press Winkey+X followed by U U

I know this is all about laptops, but if anyone is looking for similar for a desktop / htpc you can buy a remote power / reset button.

I use a Silverstone one, but there are cheaper / home made options.
