I have a belkin wireless keyboard and seperate mouse bundled together. it is pretty damn good.
the only thing to remember is that if you are going to be doing a lot of typing and mouse use you should get NI-MH rechargeable batteries. I use uniross 1300mAh AA for my mouse and 700mAh AAA for my keyboard and both last me about a week under normal use (about 8 hours a day between the two) i got mine for around £10 (batteries that is) for a pack of four of each type (thats £10 for theAA with charger then £10 for the AAA i think i paid less than that even in total but it was a while a go know who remebers prices 12 months on?
see www.dabs.com for a list of wireless keybords and mice.
i'm l;ucky i guess the range on my set states upto 6feet operating range. i got mine to a range of 8 feet operating range by placing the reciever direct on to my PC tower case.

I wouldn't reccomend wireless peripherals for gaming (first person shooters especially)
Logitech and microsoft are pretty good but don't narrow your selection to these two there sure must be other good brands out there.
One nice addition to keyboards recently is the addition of usb ports on them. I don't think wireless keyboards would have that.
It's not crucial anyway.
multimedia controllers come with almost any keyboard these days. I don't find "mail" "messenger" etc. useful but volume controls muting and play pause are very useful for me.
About the mouse. Wireless don't "feel" like they are reacting as instantly as the wired ones. But again it's just a feel. Looking at the data there are no differences. Also since wireless mouse have batteries in them, they're a bit heavier.
So basically just do some research and compare
Cheers

I have a Medion wireless keyboard and mouse combo. Apart from that the mouse eats batteries I cant fault it and it only cost £20, has all the usual nav buttons, like full media player controls, browsing buttons plus the extra buttons on the mouse function as forward/back browser controls

Anything by Microsoft or Logitech because they are the most compatible and very well Built. I use a Microsoft Wireless mouse with the corded fingerprint Keyboard

Just as Logitech and Microsoft, you might appreciate the quality of Sony products. Apple also has its own wireless input devices which are compatible to any Bluetooth enabled computer. Despite your choice, make sure to have some extra batteries or rechargeable ones always at hand. They consume quite a lot of energy depending on their usage.

I've heard good things about the Microsoft-branded keyboard and mouse products (they're probably made by Logitech anyway, or some company that Microsoft have gobbled up).

i'm utilising a mini immediately. The slots interior the back are constrained. you may want to get a visual demonstrate unit (and keyboard, mouse). Speaker is in simple terms about non existent. yet this sucker is SCREAMIN' quickly.

I have found problems (wandering mouse) especially when light in room is fluorescent...low energy light. Heve gone back to wired variety. Along with charging problems....

from my experience, wireless are not that good in obvious instances since they are just luxuries. wired hardware are always sure to work without problems. waste of money ..you know...

the key board can be very frustrating when you lose the signal but at least the wires dont get in the way.
