Pick me out a good wireless keyboard and mouse from best buy

My uncle needs me to setup a system for him. Basically it will consist of a computer connected to his plasma tv as well as this netflix box (not exactly sure what that is yet). He would like a wireless keyboard and mouse for the computer so that he could use it when he is on the couch so it NEEDS to have decent enough signal to reach across his room. (small condo living room).

It must be purchased from best buy and there is really no budget, just something that will be the best for this purpose. The keyboard and mouse will also move back to the desk when not used on the tv.

Additionally, whats the best way to switch between the tv and computer monitor for computer use? I havent seen his computer but im thinking it has integrated video. (meaning one head). I am not sure if the tv has vga or dvi but i know it has hdmi.

 

Hey Nizzy!

How about this:

Logitech - MX 5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop

You can probably find that model in best buy, even though it is not listed in the website i have seen it in stores (atleast the ones that i go i have seen it in).

 

hmm that one looks good cin based on the distance it can go. The price tag is kinda hard to swallow though, its gonna be hard to tell him he NEEDS to spend 170 bucks on a keyboard and mouse when there are 40 dollar sets right next to them haha. Are there any other choices that will give that range with a lesser pricetag?

 

Go for the logitech dinovo
bluetooth if u can.

 

Ok, try these:

I've never heard of this brand:

The Logitech Wave and the MS Wireless Laser 3000/7000 seem nice!

Thanks for the help cin! After some research it looks like this kensington is a bluetooth as well. I think i have to have the bluetooth for distance reasons.

What do you guys think?

Is the logitech worth the extra 70 dollars? The guy really can just do basic stuff with his computer so i dunno if he will care for the difference.

 

Hey Nizzy!
For the price, and what your Uncle's uses are...I think this will be a good choice.
Look's like a nice keyboard/mouse, and Kensington is a good brand name!

Whatever you do, just don't get "Rocketfish" or "Dyno" because they are Best Buy and Futureshop branded stuff (its usually crappy and cheap.).

 

Thanks i ended up getting the slimline set today. its basically like a laptop keyboard, kinda neat. Hopefully it will reach the 30 feet that it says it will when i install it tomorrow.
