    In about a month, I will be hooking up my laptop to a tv I just bought. I've been looking to get a wireless keyboard to play from farther away on the tv. However, I already have a pretty decent wired mouse and I'd like to use it at the same time. Are there any WIRELESS keyboards available that have a usb plug to plug in my WIRED mouse and be able to use them both from far away?
    Thanks

    Why not just use a USB extension cable? About a buck a foot.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Still, is there nothing like what I asked for? I'd prefer to not have cable right in the middle but if that's the only option I guess I can do that.
