No, but I just picked Logitech's MX Duo (Wireless keyboard and Mouse) a few days ago. Not Bluetooth, but I like 'em so far anyway. Larry wrote: > Looks damned cool!

Iv'e read that the range is really good. You won't have distance problem like you would with a PC-TV setup and most keyboard's. -- Jone Tytlandsvik http://tytlandsvik.no mailto: firstname at lastname dot no

If you click on the "Buy Online" link from the Logitech info page for this set, and then go to Buy.Com, you can get it for $198 + special pricing on 2-day shipping ($10). Microsoft's top-of-the-line kit is, what, $160 and in design it can't touch this thing... -Larry "callsignviper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NWnIb.17110$xX.45321@attbi_s02...

Remote for the PC, yes. One gripe I've read is that it doesn't have IR for use with a TV in the living room, but jeez... That's not what it was for :) I like the fact that it's compact and should have the feel of a high-quaility Laptop keyboard. I prefer _certain_ Laptop keyboards over desktop keyboards, particularly the absolutely wonderful keyboard that IBM used in the old ThinkPad 600 series. Their later models suck :( This keyboard has real keyswitches too, not something you see very often if ever these days. -Larry "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > Larry wrote: > > > > I went ahead and ordered one.

Remote for the PC yes, but I assume that with the programs that comes with it, it can be used to control just about everything on the PC when the PC is used as a multimedia center, no need to hop around with the mouse to get a movie started and things like that Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Yes, it will control everything on the PC. Apparantly the software player that comes with it is designed to be run full screen, ala Microsoft's Media Center, so you can use it from across the room no problem. What it will NOT do is learn IR commands for your home receiver, DVD player, TV, etc... That's the gripe I heard, and I think it's an unreasonable gripe. -Larry "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > > Larry wrote: > > > > Remote for the PC, yes.

Well, since this box will replace everything but my TV, I will actually have only 2 remotes, that's 2 less than I have now :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
