I am getting an NEC 50MP2 and am still determining whether I will use my PC with it. I would use the PC only for internet, Word Processing and PC Gaming. It is a PIII 800MHz with 512 MB Ram running Windows XP and has an NVidia GeForce3 Ti 500 (PNY Verto). What wireless keyboard and mouse have people had the greatest success with?

saxguy,


This isn't a personal recommendation, but I was thinking of getting in on the HTPC power-buy


You'll notice there is a discussion about keyboards and Alan seems to recommend the Airboard as a good choice.

HTPC forum has user reports....some good....some bad. But for $18 delivered. Worth a try.

The VersaPoint is pricey, but one of the best wireless keyboard (RF) I've ever used. It is bombproof and has incredible range, works with a simple USB connection, and requires no drivers or software. I've also used the Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical , which worked great for several months but inexplicably began to lose range. Now it works only when it is very close to the receiver, despite several battery replacements. My next venture is to try the GyroRemote -- hopefully as a replacement to the Logitech mouse. I'm not sure how well the GyroRemote works for gaming; its really designed as a presentation pointing device. Because my PC is dedicated to HTPC and not gaming, it wasn't an issue for me.

another product that isnt mentioned much around here is the intel wireless series. its rf so you dont have to point the keyboard at the ir receiver.

$55 for the keyboard/mouse combo, and i believe there is a rebate from intel for $30 bringing the price down to $25 for an rf keyboard/mouse suite. not a bad deal.
