My 5 year old AirBoard wireless kb finally died. I wasn't particularly attached to it; it had so-so range, the mouse joystick was squirly, and it had an annoying "feature" that left the mouse stuck in rick-click mode after a pc reboot. But it's gone and it's not nice to speak ill of the dead.
After a proper burial, I picked a snazzy Logitech S510 wireless desktop. It's gorgeous, the keyboard it super slim, and a pleasure to use. Only one MAJOR drawback; the rf receiver to keyboard and mouse max range is 6 feet--pretty useless in an HTPC setup.
So, I need some recommendations a new wireless keydb and mouse combo. I'm running Win XP Pro SP2. My normal seating position is appox 10' from where the rf receiver might be placed. I'd like to keep cost limited to approx $100.
I've had my eye on the MS MCE keybd for some time but understand that most people don't like the "nipple" mouse. Also, I'm not sure if it will even work on non-MCE boxes.
Any recommendations?
Thanks - Steve
