Both have their drawbacks IMO making one no better than the other. Go for one that gives the best battery life and has a mouse with a docking cradle for recharging. Try to get them with rechargable batteries built in. -- Conor -You wanted an argument? Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. You want room K5, just along the corridor. Stupid git. (Monty Python) |

Wireless devices can be problematic. Maybe you should buy from a local store, especially if range is your concern. Do not believe Logitech's (and probably others) claims about transmission range. I have not used Bluetooth. My Logitech radio frequency wireless devices have worked very well, but I don't care much about range. Good luck. Both have their drawbacks IMO making one no better than the other. Go for one that gives the best battery life and has a mouse with a docking cradle for recharging. Try to get them with rechargable batteries built in. Rechargeable batteries, including built in, would be a waste on my cordless keyboard since alkalines last for at least six months. |

TIA Get regular wireless bluetooth is a pain in the ass. That's not the right place to try plugging in the receiver.... -- spammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/ |
