Raspberry Pi Entertainment system.

Hey I'm looking into making my dumb TV into a Raspberry Pi XBMC smart TV. Haha. Ok no seriously. Here is what I want to do. I'm going to load XBMC onto my Raspberry Pi and plug it into my TV so my family and I can enjoy all the great multimedia data we have on our different computers. What I need to know is, 1. Wireless Wi-Fi adapter will work with XBMC? And 2. Wireless Keyboard and mouse will work with XBMC? I won't be plugging hard drives into the Pi, I will be pulling my media data off my local network and using Airplay for my iPhone.

Thanks in advance!

most wi-fi adapters , keyboards will work but if in you want to be 100% sure
buy one which say it is completable with the raspberry pi.
i use a silvercrest wireless keyboard Silvercrest Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Review IAN 64668 | GADGET REVIEWS DAILY
and this works fine.

If you have a raspi connected to your TV it might also be worth considering uploading a few emulators and using a wireless controller. I recemond that you then use a retrode to make some legal ROMs to play.
