I purchased the Logitech LX 710 recently (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/147&cl=US,EN) and am very happy with it.

I tested the keyboard range and was able to type in the next room (about 12-15 feet, through a wall) without a problem. Haven't tried out the mouse's range yet, but, the package comes with a USB extender and a mini dock for the wireless receiver which allows you to place it in an optimal spot to extend your range.

I just tested out the mouse and it got a bit sketchy at longer distances (8-10 feet or so)

I use bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my HTPC. I've tried a couple RF wireless, but they just don't have the distance that bluetooth does.
