« on: 20 Sep 2012, 10:20 pm »
I am interested in buying one of those bluetooth keyboard & mouse but don't know which one to get. Look like the Logitech mx5500 is a winner. (My lab top is hard wire to my tv and my usb dac). What is    your though? Thanks.

I just use a remote (RF, connected to IR in on a HT pc; actually, two remotes for two different HT pcs).   I use WMC.  A remote is perfect.  I guess if you're going to type you might need bluetooth.  I usually just use a USB-attached transceiver, since bluetooth doesn't have great range and I need something that works from a long distance.

How far does this keyboard work in your room? Does it be able to see through cabinet door? Thanks.
