Logitech came out with a new wireless keyboard and mouse that uses bluetooth. Now you dont need to be just 6 feet away from the computer. You can now bring your keyboard into the other room and change music stations. It has an LCD and gets information back from the computer. The mouse uses a laser rathr than optical which is much more precision then opticals and great for fast action games. It can be a little pricy though.. I found one through froogle to be about 119. The retail price on it is about $150. I can't wait to get mine. I have a projector connected to both my cable box and my computer. Its sooo great to watch movies and play games on this thing. Having a wireless keyboard and mouse would do wonders.. Don need to sit RIGHT NEXT to the computer .. and can pass the mouse off when someone else wants to check their email on the BIG screen...

Hope this info helps

this would be pure bliss for me, at the moment I use an extetion USB cable to take my wireless keyboard / mouse further away from my pc, i never had one until recently and could never return to using a corded version. now if only all pc parts ran the same way like the monitor and other devices so you would be able to take your pc (monitor keyb and mouse) all over the house.

You'd think that, for quick typers, there's a lag between typing? What I mean is, the text doesn't show up on the screen instantly like it does for wired keyboards. Then again, I've never had one, so I don't know.

I cannot stand using a wired mouse, since the cord gets in the way and sometimes gets caught under the mouse itself. The one cheap wireless mouse I used to use wasn't too good. I wonder if I should get this set? It sure seems to be worth the $150.

I have been planning about going wireless with Bluetooth. I would be able to sit on the couch while typing a report even though I do have a laptop but that not the point. I could keep my computer on desk charging. I have so many things I would like to buy first though one being Invision Power Board, and a new laptop. Then I would probably go wireless tongue.gif It only takes up one USB too which is the best part.

Why would you need such range from the computer when you're using it? In order to use the computer you have to be able to see and read everything on the monitor and I don't think you would still be able to see it from another room unless you have a wireless monitor which I have yet to see. Also, I don't think bluetooth would give a practical edge over the normal wireless mouse + keyboard. The normal ones provide plenty of distance in my opinion and alot of the people I know use a wireless keyboard and mouse to get away from cords not so that they can use them further away from the computer.

I wouldn't go for the wireless keyboard unless I get real lazy cause I would only use it if I am typing something up that I am copying. I could go downstairs and eat while still typing tongue.gif but I would use bluetooth just to stop using up my USBs but I would still be using two. One for mouse and stuff but that ok, I can get the 4 connector thing. My mouse isn't really a problem because the cord is hanging off the desk because of this gap that is there. I just would do it so it isn't a mess when I try to hook everything back into my computer and to unhook it because it gets really confusing as to what cord is what.

The only part of my computer that ever gives me trouble due to wires are my headphones - they tend to get caught under my chair when I lay in bed with them on.

I'm not sure I really see the point of a wireless keyboard/mouse, unless you plan to surf the internet from your bed or something. In my opinion, having to plug them both in to recharge every night would be a pain (assuming that they can be recharged and that they don't take expensive alkali batteries.

Now if you would be able to take your keyboard, monitor and mouse all over the house you would just be buying a laptop! tongue.gif These days the processing power of the laptop is very good so you can't just say well laptops aren't fast enough. What we do need is just a laptop thing that is just soo light weight and not that much heat so that you can just hang out in bed an play.

Well I defintely wouldn't go wireless back in the day if im sitting right in front of the monitor.. whats the point. right?? well life has changed for me.. Now I have set up a projector and i have my computer in the family room also connected to it.. so people can surf the web or check email..but the catch is.. they have to sit on the couch right next to the PC cause the wires dont reach.. Then I also read about regular wireless can only extend to 6 ft.. that also defeats the purpose.. cause my other couch is like 10 ft away from the PC.. so hearing about this bluetooth one is just GREAT news. now I can just give anyone the laptop and mouse to play from anwhere in the room.. The one I'm about to get "logitech MX5000" has a little LCD screen that you can view small data.. and I can bring the keyboard in the other room.. play mp3s and change the song at the click of a button on the keyboard.no need to run in the other room..

For mouse.. i think there is a cradel tht automatically charges everynight.. but just puttin the mouse away.. the keyboard however takes AA batteries.. I have rechargable AA batteries and a charger so all i have to do is swap the batter and get the next batch ready to charge.. the keyboard and mouse have a new Charge indicator so you can see HOW much battery life is left >> VERY COOL!11
