Title: Wireless RF Mice
Post by: solfood on July 01, 2004, 02:42:16 pm
I'm about to buy a mouse and keyboard for my cocktail cabinet and need to know if a RF wireless combo would be the way to go.
Does the RF thingy need to be mounted outside the cabinet for it to work or can I install it inside?  I'd prefer INSIDE of course.  What is the range?  I plan on programing the mouse and buttons to take care of most everyday functions and only breakout the keyboard as needed.  THe cabinet is going to be part of my home network as well so i can take care of it that way too.
Any recommendations on mouse and keyboard combos?  It would be cool if it were blue or black...

You can do inside if you go RF and not IR

you get a few feet.  

I would like to find the RF all in one unit that had a handle on the top that people where showing a while ago.  I bought a super cheap  one (12 bucks) and it kinda sucks.  I had to take it apart to get anything to work... but I bought it at big lots... and you get what you pay for... it would be nice to have a good one.
