Wireless keyboard and optical mouse

[Charlie Footstool]

i'm looking for a wireless keyboard and wireless optical mouse using RF and with a usable range - not this 1.5m rubbish that I seem to keep finding, and not IR bacause its also rubbish.

I use my pc as my primary music source, and for a few movies etc so am looking to be able to sit on my bed and click away, so I'll need a range of around 4-5m to be comfortable.

Does anyone know of, or use any such device that you could recommend?

The only one I have found which remotley fits the bill is the microsoft bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse combo - retailing at around ?100
I was looking to find something a little more affordable

Whats wrong with the Microsoft Wireless Desktop ?

[Ciaran]

I don't know about range but the second keyoard and mouse on THIS page uses RF and only costs ?38.19.

Whats wrong with the Microsoft Wireless Desktop ?

I seem to remember that the range is limited to 2m. not enough by a long way. (see what I did there!)

Would the Microsoft Bluetooth combo work from a longer range?

I want it, it looks absolutely fantastic.

[Charlie Footstool]

It would - I think its around 9m. buts its far too expensive. 100 quid for a keyboard and mouse? thats crazy!

[ThoseOfTheUnlight]

But it is a very, VERY nice bit of kit

Treat yourself!

I could... or I could get the one at the top of this page and save ?45.

Range of 5m on 2.4GHz RF. That fits the bill, and I can get a couple of arcade sticks with the money I've saved!
