    Hey guys, got an Envy 17 3D on its way (soon, I hope) and am shopping around for a wireless keyboard and mouse for when I plug it into my HDTV to watch movies and occasionally play games. My couch and coffee table are about 8-10 feet away from where the laptop will be when connected to the TV.

    Right now, the Logitech K340 and Anywhere MX are the frontrunners, but the combo is at least $100 which is pretty expensive. Any other, cheaper suggestions? Being that I will play games with it occasionally, a mouse without side buttons isn't going to work. Something like the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 seemed like an affordable choice, but the ridiculous decision to have the scroll wheel be smooth and not a clickwheel kills the whole thing for me.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    the Logitech combo looks to be a nice setup, if your looking at the two you listed, Logitech IMO
