I use a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Keyboard is spot on, the mouse is good too but it seems to eat batteries!!

I've got a logitech one with a mouse dock to charge up the battery. I've had it since last christmas and the keyboard ones havn't run out yet. So no problems with it really, but make sure you get one like mine with the docking otherwise as said it does go through batteries

I use a combo of a wireless keyboard (logitech) which runs on batterys, and a rechargable wireless mouse (logitech). Bought as a set, and absolutely spot on.

Make sure its a recharge unit with dock and you wont look back.

Got a logitech Bluetooth set the mouse has a dock and the keyboards on its original batteries and I have had it nearly two years. I do have problems when I first start the PC can take up to five minutes for the keyboard and mouse to start, but once their going there fine.

never had any problems with mine, as said the mouse lasts for days without putting it back on its docking station. never changed the keyboard batteries in nearly 2 years.

ok guys, i was under the impression i could get a wireless keyboard that could be charged but it appears theres no such thing? keyboards use normal batteries unlike mice which can be charged.

But if you say the batteries in keyboards lasts for years then i wouldnt mind but the people who have said that, how often do you use the keyboard?

well i knew logitech were a very good brand in the computer world plus ive got logitech 2.1 speakers which rock so i just went out i brought a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse(i couldnt find logitech keyboards on there own).

Just set it up in literally 20 seconds and its brilliant so far, the keys seem much smoother and dont make a horrible click sound every time you press a key and it seems to work from miles away

And it came with 2 AAA Duracell batteries for the keyboard so hopefully they will last ages

Logitech are the bees knee's in the computer world so i shouldnt worry about that side of things, im sure it does everything really well just like my logitech equipment

Have a look on sites like amazon.com or other shopping sites and most of them have user reviews of most there items

Hi

I have the Microsoft wireless desktop version.

Absolutely fanfuckintastic. The keyboard is perfect and uses a set (2no AA) every six months, the mouse uses about the same and is pin sharp accurate.

Dont know about the logitech stuff but can thoroughly recommend the desktop elite stuff, cost me about £50 of E-steal.

Go buy one!!
