    Why oh why are wireless keyboards only sold in bundles with mice. I have a great mouse, it's new, it was a present and I like it, now I JUST need a good wireless keyboard. Any suggestions?

    Buy a wireless keyboard / mouse.

    Use the keyboard, leave the mouse in the box. Or sell it on ebay or something.

    Yes thanks for that lol :p
    It's just frustrating when manufacturers push bundles and wont offer an alternative. It's dead easy to buy a single non wireless keyboard, I don't see why we are forced to pay for a mouse again just to get wireless. Well, I see in as much as it's making the companies more cash and shifting products but it does remove some of my choice. I was really kind of hoping someone on here would suggest a fantastic wireless KB that is sold all on it's own lol.
