I am looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse as my computer will be approximately 12 feet away. I have read up about them and have narrowed it down to two. The first is a Kensington Pilotboard Laser 2.4 ghz RF Wireless Technology (Model No: 64385) which states it will work up to 9.14 metres. This set also comes with a 6 button ergonomic shape mouse.
The second is the Belkin Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (Model No: F8T042ukB) which will work up to 10 metres away and comes with a 3 button mouse.

Does anyone know which is a better signal, RF or Bluetooth ??

If there are any other suggestions as to a good quality set which will work without a hitch from 12 feet away then please let me know.

Blue-tooth may get you a better signal but it really depends on manufacturer.... Not sure what the models you are relating to but i would always recommend high end manufacturers like logitech and Microsoft, don't always go for cheap stuff... *Personally* i would spend £60 - £80 on a wireless keyboard and mouse for quality ; )

Bluetooth is prefered for wireless computering over 10ft. But, bluetooth lags pretty badly at times and isn't suggested for gaming. If you're using the computer for presentations or as a media player/HTPC, bluetooth is perfect. I'd suggest the Logitech MX5000 BT combo.

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

Thanks folks !! I did look at the Logitech MX5000 but it had mixed reviews from people on a website I visited, although every persons needs are different. I'll have another surf of the internet.
