    I haven't had any success with wireless keyboards so far. I had a Logitech (can't recall which model) keyboard/mouse combo which lagged and slowed down my system. Does it matter if the interface is RF or Bluetooth?

    These are my requirements:
    1. Basic keyboard -- no "ergonomic" or oddly shaped keyboard
    2. Good key response -- I noticed alot of the keyboards out there (Logitechs especially) have mushy key action
    3. Bluetooth a plus, since my computer will have bluetooth built-in and I don't have to hassle with a USB dongle
    4. Mouse has to be small, ambidextrous, and light -- no big, oddly saped "ergonomic" mouse

    thanks!

    RF and bluetooth is actually a perference now. If you prefer not to get a keyboard with a dongo then I would get a bluetooth but I personally would still go with the RF.

    Anyway I have the MX3200. It is really good plus it has a tiny LCD display for easy clock management/alarms/timers/etc. Although this keyboard is not bluetooth but you can cough up the big one for the MX5500.

    Doesn't get smaller or lighter than the Mogo mouse.
