Hi all,
Long time Gentoo user, first time Xbox hacker. I am looking into getting a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Xbox setup. I have searched the forums and seen references to the Logitech MX Duo, but alas, it only has good range from 5-8 feet. I'm needing from 8-15 feet distance.
As far as I know, IR won't be a solution for me because of my range needs (correct me if I'm wrong). There are Bluetooth options out there, but does anyone know if they are compatible? Otherwise, I have the 2.4GHz options. Does anyone have any input on compatibility with the RF stuff? I also have a 802.11b AP in the same room, so interference is a possibility.
If anyone has any input, I'd much appreciate it.
Justin
Wireless Kbd & Mouse Combo?

This is what I use... 30' range and the mouse is "Gyro" so it works real well without having to use a flat dektop area. I can kick back in my chair and surf the web on my 55". Just waiting for HDTV support now.
*EDIT* I guess it would help if I posted the link...
