If you can hear the audio from the remote machine across the room, couldn't you use the native screen sharing stuff in OSX? It doesn't transmit audio but if that will do the job then there is no need to buy a BT keyboard. I think the basic process is along the lines of Connect To Server (command -k), browser, find your machine in the list, Share Screen. You might need Back to My Mac and such turned on for this to work if the remote machine isn't on the same network. Might be some tricky way to get audio through an auto-answer facetime session, but I've never tried that.

If all you need is to do so from across the room, then why not use a bluetooth keyboard?

*Subject:*remotely controlling a mac

is this possible?
I would like to control the mac from across the room, especially to change system preferences and parental control. I can see how to view the screen but can’t figure out how as a voiceover user i can in fact control the mac?
thanks for any ideas.
