Longer Distance Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

[GreenJelly]

Im looking for a Wireless Mouse and Keyboard that can go about 10 feet away from the receiver. I want it to be fast responsing and accurate enough for gaming. Anyone know of a product?

I can't comment on a keyboard, but my logitech G7 works great from about 10-12 feet away. (Distance from my desk to the couch)

Thats a good point actually, I have a Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard combo, I cannot recall the models but it was about 50 quid wen I bought it, does anyone know how to make the range better? Its currently about 8' for the mouse and bit more for the keyb. The mouse is called "The Logitech Cordless Mouse"

and the keyb is the
"Logitech Deluxe Access Keyboard"

It has a small USB or PS2 reciever shaped like a clear grey toenail.

Ive been looking for a solution.

No one seems to have had this requirement? 8 feet is good though...

How about Bluetooth 2, doesn't that have good range?

don't bother with the dinovo, go with the MX5000 if you get anything, newer keyboard and bluetooth.

That Logitech Desktop MX 5000 Looks like the winner IMO. Bluetooth 2 = range of up to 60 feet


Only thing I would hope for would be 2 interchangable batteries (ala G7) so you never have to worry about not being able to use it.

But still, it looks nice, and has the range you need and then some, I'd imagine.


EDIT: It's a cool $100 at Newegg: Logitech MX 5000 967558-0403 Black USB Bluetooth Wireless Standard Keyboard Mouse Included - Retail
