Am after a wireless keyboard and mouse with a decent range for a home theatre PC.

At least three metres needed - most have a range of 6 feet.

Has anyone had any experience with a decent set that would provide that sort of range? Possibly would have to be RF.

Thanks.

Note: looks identical to the top picture but has the bigger wired USB receiver as shown in the bottom picture instead of the USB plugging directly in.

Logitech & Microsoft both have good ones available.

Looks promising however pretty hard to find stock of it on the cursory glance I have had so far.

I also managed to find this (www.xpcomputers.co.nz) . Wondering if anyone has had any experience with this set?

Thanks for your replies so far!
