Does anybody use anything that's got range up to at least 30 feet? I sit across the room from my setup since it's on a 42" monitor :D but the logitech combo I have now blows....hard. I'm looking online, but I could use some suggestions as well. Doesn't have to be a combo:bunny:. I prefer an optical mouse.:up:

I'm not positive, but bluetooth might work...?

this logitech claims a range of 30 feet, dunno if that's reality or marketing wishful thinking:

100 BUCKS FOR A MOUSE! I just don't know if that's worth it. I mean I could see paying 150 for a mouse keyboard combo....but just a mouse? FML!

That's actually the setup I have now...and if you're more than seven feet away from your transmitter that stuff is junk! even the speakers! cause they just blew up on me three weeks ago!!!!! granted i've had the setup for a while and it's prolly past it's prime. but still.

yeah I'd agree - I didn't look at the price before posting that link. That's one of the reasons I never switched from RF to bluetooth...too darned expensive.

....30 feet?! I sit less than 3 feet away from that much screen real estate

I don't know about keyboards, but I've used my MX Revolution and MX1000 about that far away with no problems. I think bluetooth will probably be your best bet though. Maybe this set?

I would be very surprised if you can find something with the range you want for cheaper than that.
