Can anyone recommend a good wireless keyboard and mouse with a range up to eight feet?

If price is not an issue I recommend the Gyration mouse and keyboard from MicroCenter (staples and office depot have it too). Its $99 for the set. The mouse is optical but can also work in mid-air (has a gyroscope in it?).  The keyboard is very compact, but still comfortable.  And they both operate as RF, rather than IR, so no lost keystrokes.  I think they range is 20 or 30 feet, for the low end model (100 feet for the $300 model).
I'm using it with my Home Theatre PC and arcade controls, and am very pleased.
Mucal invader, is there no end to your oozing?!

I just posted a small review on the Versapoint Communicator combo I got today - it's HERE.  It's the 7th post from the top.
