The keyboard that came with the Logitech Revue (Google TV) is probably the optimal HTPC remote.

The problem with it, is that it's the size of real keyboard. It's just huge, and it just doesn't feel natural either in the living room or on your bed. I've never found a way to only use it with one hand.

I felt the Co-Star's remote was much better.

Sony's Google TV remotes are very well designed:

Yeah it looks like they copied Visio's Co-Star remote.

Their original remote was small, but it just had too many buttons. The sticks were strange as well.
