Looking for a wireless keyboard or keyboard/mouse for gaming and general usage. Using in my living room. I sit approx, 8 - 10 feet from my screen. Ideas?
thanks
 
Ive never like wireless antyhing for gaming, just dont trust it to give me perfect response.
I have a g11. Its great for gaming but doesnt fit my ergonomic needs. Ordered a MS ergo 4000 today though off e-bay
 
You may want to consider one of the Microsoft Wireless Desktop bundles. The Microsoft Wireless Ergonomics Laser Desktop 5000 bundle can be found at NewEgg for around $40 plus shipping.

If you need a wireless setup that uses the PS/2 port, you could get something along the lines of the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 4000 bundle.

However, Rydawg5143 is correct: Wireless keyboard and mouse bundles aren't really the best for gaming.

(Out of curiosity, how much do you have to spend on a wireless setup?)
 
I've used..

Saitek Eclipse - Excellent
Saitek Eclipse II - Excellent Plus - Better lighting than original otherwise the same excellent keyboard.
Razer Tarantula - This is new to me, so far the key's/typing is exceptional (better than the Saitek Eclipse boards) however I miss the back lighting of the Saitek Eclipse II, I have the battle light but the jury's still out as I need more time with it. Programability and macro's are excellent.

Based on my limited experience so far the bang for the buck goes to the Saitek Eclipse II however as indicated I've only had the Razer for a Day or so, i'll update post later (week or so) and advise any changes of opinion.

I recommend instead to read the OP's criteria.

Logitech Wave perhaps.
