A wireless remote-control input device, Imp ($199) lets you position the cursor, execute common mouse functions, and replicate keyboard functions from as far as 15 feet away from your computer. Windows- and Microsoft Mouse-compatible, Imp consists of a hand-held wireless transmitter and a compact receiver that connects to your PC's serial port. The transmitter has a control disc for cursor control and four auxiliary buttons that act as keyboard keys. Powered by your PC, the receiver has indicator lamps that reflect communication activity and the status of the batteries in the transmitter.
