Well, I can't recommend a mouse, well except an older Logitech version. I have the new wireless Apple keyboard and I love it. I didn't like the design as a wired version with the USB ports on back, but as a BT keyboard it's perfect. I have spent the last couple of days looking for another keyboard for my PC at work, and I gotta tell you, I have learned all PC keyboards suck. I think I am going to get another wireless Apple Keyboard for that machine. I am also very interested in Belkin's new BT Mouse which should be release this month. The thing I love about the Apple keyboard is that fact that it has some weight to it, it just feels really solid. The tactile feed back on the keyboard is wonderful, just all and all a great feel. I personally hate the media, internet or whatever keys on keyboards, all they do is make them bulky and I'd be willing to bet most experienced PC users don't use the buttons. But, they seem to be everywhere and on everything. If anyone can recommend a wireless keyboard without all the garbage on it and is quality built with good feed back, please let me know, thanks.

on my desktop i didnt really see the need for a wireless keyboard since i never really move that far from the desk but the mouse is a nice thing...wires can just be a pain for that. i got a kensington wireless which works great...its even got a great design in which the usb plug in part can be kept inside the mouse when traveling. so far no problems and no real lag. i can even use it in fast video games without any realy time delay.
