Any recommendations for cordless keyboard and mouse
As above really, i was sure that one of the magazines did a group test recently but can't remember which one. There seems to be a huge choice and a real variety in price so i was hoping for some recommendations please.
It needs to have a reasonable range as it's for controlling a Media Centre PC from the sofa. Built-in charging for the mouse would be nice too. Not too worried about extra buttons for media player etc. as i have a remote.
Ta,
Roy.

We've got a Creative wireless KB & mouse... got it from Dabs. Not had any problems with it, apart from the mouse stopping working when the batteries died. Scratched my head a bit before i sussed it!

Thanks everybody, your replies are much appreciated. Looks like the Logitech and Microsoft are well rated but the cheapskate in me is very tempted by the Arianet home brew jobbie.
LOL at that Logitech diNovo - £155 inc. VAT
More than the sofa cost!
Thanks again,
Roy.

I've both the ms and the logitech wireless setups, both are very good, the ms has better feel, the logitech does however have a re-chareable mouse, ms still wins for me though.

I'd sell you mine if I could (can't, it's Portuguese). Hate having to change the batteries. On the same desk as a computer, the cordless thing is a gimmick.
