1269138 2012-04-10 21:54:00 I've been perfectly happy with the budget Logitec wireless keyboard and mouse (Harvey Norman sell it cheap on occasions).

Should be under $40 for both the keyboard and mouse together.

Fine for gaming too.

Mouse chews through the batteries (I use rechargables), so turn the mouse off when not using computer.

Not so good if there's a lot of hardware between the mouse and the receiver. I've put the receiver on a USB hub up near the monitor to give it direct line of sight and to eliminate the dropouts.

I didn't make those costs up Law, but Computer lounge as you say do include cartage.

I have ordered the 705 and hold you completely responsible for any problem that might arise.

I will if you tell me how to fit the track pad!
Which seem to think precludes the use of a mouse.

1269147 2012-04-20 08:52:00 Glad you like it cicero,I was wondering were I was going to hide if you did not like it

The free wheeling button is handy when you want to get back up the top of the page quickly on those long pages without "Top" in the bottom righthand corner
