    I'm looking for a good bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my notebook. I'm leaning heavily towards the Logitech V470 for the mouse based on reviews. I have no idea on the keyboard. I don't need anything fancy. I just really need it to be trouble free. Any advice/shared experiences? Thanks

    is this for mobile or desktop use?? do you plant to travel around with the mouse?

    these are the keyboard and mouse combos for logitech. they are awesome :)

    i'm not too sure about the v470..

    my picks are...
    Cordless Desktop® MX™ 5500 Revolution
    the alternative... (a bit old, still the benchmark)
    diNovo™ Media Desktop® Laser

    if you need a bluetooth keyboard only; there is this something cool (but small)
    diNovo Mini™

    There are situations in a small group where I would like to be able to turn my widescreen notebook sideways, rotate the screen with the nvidia software and be able to display an entire excel spreadsheet on one screen with no scrolling back and forth. With this I would not be able to manipulate the spreadsheet easily because the keyboard and mouse would also be sideways. Therefore a seperate mouse and keyboard seem to be a good idea. I don't want to spend a fortune though and most of the logitech combos are over 150 it seems. I'll look into the stuff you mentioned...
