I'm looking to integrate one of my family's PC's with the living room.

I figured, put it close to the entertainment system and run a monitor extention cable to a corner desk for working when someone is watching TV. I have a Video card with TV out, A TV tuner that works great and records great, and really all I need is a good wireless keyboard and mouse. Only one MAJOR requirement that I need help solving.

The range has to be greater than 15 feet so I can sit on my sofa!

Any suggestions?

I am using the Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical. I get around 25 feet with it.

Not sure about keyboards though.

IM afraid that im not to informed on wireless in general, but is there an easy way to boost your signal in radio wireless devises, car stereo remote and wireless keyboard\mouse in particular?

FYI: i found a site that sells a kbd/mouse combo with 100ft low interference range.

I am also emailed logitech if there is a way to boost the wireless signal even if it voids the warranty (doubt they will tell me, but its worth a shot)

[b] I dont want to burst your bubble but I used to have both cordless keyboard and mouse but got rid of them cos they did my head in, I had to keep replacing batteries very expensive unless you use, rechargables, cos they run out very fast if you are a frequent user of your computer. And to add to that if something goes wrong with your computer you have to reinstall a keyboard and mouse that works with your system cos you cant boot up in ms dos with cordless if anything goes wrong.

My batteries on the mouse last a few months, minimum so that hasn't been a problem.
But yes, do keep a regular keyboard/mouse to use in DOS/Safe Mode when necessary.
