Wireless mouse and keyboard for HTPC

[JHallas]

Hi,

Ok, so I want a wireless keyboard and mouse for my HTPC that sits about 10 ft. away from the couch. I'm tired of getting up and walking to the tv to change movies etc. I was just going to buy one but the range is questionable on most of them. I was gonna go bluetooth but they're pretty expensive for the most part. I was planning on spending no more than $70. Any suggestions?

Thnx

Oh yea, and btw I want to use it to play fps occasionally.

I use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16823126177

Some might say the lag with it is bad I havnt experienced it. There will be some form of lag with wirless mind you. FYI I use this or have used this to type a message successfully an entire 2 floors down from the reciever.

I built a rig for my son for Xmas that he uses to surf the web on his 61" TV (meaning he doesn't sit close), and gave him a Labtec wireless set that I got for $10 at Radioshack. It works fine for him.

I would say a bluetooth solution would be your best bet. I use a MX5000 and it works great. the farthest I have used it is about ~20 feet and there was not issue. I would be afraid of running into issues using RF at that distance, particularly gaming.

i use a Logitech DiNovo Edge and a Logitech VX Revolution mouse.. I can use the touchpad on the DiNovo for most needs, and pull out the mouse when gaming. Both work excellently. I've used the Bluetooth Edge and the RF Revolution at 30 ft. easily and neither introduce any lag or input misses.

Logitech also has their S 510 RF series mouse and keyboard combo that is going for $38 on sale at Newegg. It's like a much cheaper DiNovo with a free mouse.
