    Hi.. Do you think that using remote(wireless) keyboard and mouse for desktop is useful in better way, even we have remote keyboard or mouse, we couldn't sit more than three yards, since our eye vision to monitor text is limited. We can have lengthy cord keyboard to sit some yards
    It is worth to buy it.

    You mean a wireless keyboard/mouse?

    Yeah, I've used a "wireless desktop" for years. I hate having wires going all over my desk. And my PC is sometimes on the other side of the room, which would make a wired keyboard useless.

    Yeah, it is better to go for a wireless input devices, rather than sticking with the wired mouse and keyboard. A wireless optical mouse would be worth buying, especially when working at home.

    I have tried wireless keyboards/mice in the past but was not impressed with the very brief battery life. I may consider eventually trying one again since tech has improved greatly over the last 5 years or so.

    For now, my trusty cheap-o Microsoft wired keyboard and mouse will do me just fine :)

    Yes one of the greatest trouble about wireless keyboard is the battery.. let me know how long is your battery life for keyboard at that time.

    I have been using cordless couple I-Ball Keyboard-Mouse from lat one year. I works fine for me but for the newbie it can be a nightmare sometime. Sometimes battery is discharged, RF receiver when moved creates problem. The wireless thing is good for those who can troubleshoot them on there own.
    It is worth the money and is very useful.....Mouse battery lasts for 30 days (Using mouse for more than 6 hours a day).

    Mmm... 180 hours the mouse battery lasts.... good. What about your battery withstand for your keyboard, do you have wired keyboard too.. or always uses the remote keyboard..

    A cordless mouse/keyboard would definitely be great, but a lot of people have problems with connectivity and end up switching back to the wired solution.

    I use mine quite often when I link my Laptop up to my large TV Screen, as it gives me more freedom, however if your going to want to move away quite a distance make sure you get a 24g or alike one. Some only work a 2 Metres and loose signal/quality where mine can happily work through walls e.t.c

    I have been using 'Logitech' brand wireless keyboard and mouse... since more than two years now. I have been using them... mainly to keep my work desk neat and clean (devoid of any zip-zapping wires!).
    Logitech provides its own 'critical state indicator' program and so using the same along with rechargeable cells prevent you from sudden dead cells and recurring battery expenses! :)
