so I want to buy a real nice wireless keyboard and mouse

[private_ryan]

what do you suggest? I prefer something that doesn't get that dirty , or it's easy to clean.

1. Microsoft Optical Desktop Pro...

don't know if they still make it, but I bought mine a year ago. Wireless ergonomic keyboard, and wireless optical mouse. I've replaced the mouse's batteries 3 times, and the keyboard... not even once!

3. where do you get the bateries?

is is a pain to get them?

5. any AA battery will do...

I usually prefer alkalines... the mouse uses 2 and the keyboard uses.... I don't remember. Probably 2, too.

2. I have a Logitech .. Not one problem since I purchased in late Sept

It is very nice...no wires to get in the way...I was always pulling out the wire to my keyboard because of the chair/wire situation...now I have NO problems!!! However ...they still sit where they were before wireless...I am such a creature of habit..

4. Logitech. The set that has the MX-700 model mouse

The absolute best combo around (and I've tried quite a few).

The MX-700 mouse uses rechargeable batteries and has a recharger built into the base, so all you have to do is put the mouse in the cradle when you're done for the day.

6. I strongly recommend Logitech...

First, MS needs absolutely no more money.

Second I have had my wireless keyboard for 8mos, no real probs and have yet to change the battery. I like being able to sit the keyboard in my lap (don't know what the radio signal is doing to the "boys", though) and the mobility wireless brings. I am going to invest in the Logitech wireless track-ball here pretty soon.

8. it works on all recent PCs, right?

I know it would to design one that didn't, just wanted to make sure.

11. Should work with any PC

Before you buy, check places like newegg.com their prices are usually much better, and newegg is VERY reputable. :) :) :)

9. Logitech is the way to go

I've had a Mouseman Pro+ for years, it's been flawless and extremely comfortable.

I'd recommend this:

12. Actually, I suggest a Track Ball...

Even if you get a wireless mouse, you have to have a hard surface to sit it. The trackball guarentees you can move around. They do offer wireless trackballs. I have a wired one, and I love it.
