    Would you recommend the Logitech K800 for a wireless keyboard and the Logitech M950 for a wireless mouse? I'll be using them at my office and I'm considering them because of their recharge options (fully usable while recharging). Not only that, the tiny USB fob seems very convenient. Do they work as advertise or should I keep looking? Thoughts? Opinions?

    I'll be using them with my work laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad R400 running Windows XP Professional.

    Keep in mind it is not hard to keep a spare set of batteries and just rotate out rechargeable batteries when needed.

    A good mouse only needs batteries like every 6 months to a year and not sure about keyboards but it should not be much different.

    Saying this because if your basing decisions on how things recharge you may be selling yourself short for little to no reason.

    Definitely focus on the performance, feel and ergonomics as they are input devices and your interface to the computer thus every second of every day these things matter while recharge options matter not.
