I like the Logitechs--installed a bunch and haven't had a problem yet.

RF

and I haven't had one problem except for batteries running low now (after a year). They even work through walls, very cool.

yes i reccomend the Logitech Freedom Navigator Plus
it ahs your mouse and keyboard

works great even through brick walls
i believe i got around 30 ft away
<it garuntees 6ft but youll get at least 4-5x's that>

the batteries last roughly 4-6 months if you use constantly as i do

nice value
you can get it at Best Buy for around 85 or so
if your lucky you can find it online for 60
i highly reccomend it

Logitec I-touch

6months on battery, and oddly enough I have walked clear across the room 12-15 feet and the keyboard still works. Now in college with 2 million electronics in 5 inches, it isnt as far but the size weight battery life options and over all it is the best keyboard yet...
