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

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

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. |
