I've been looking for a decent (but lower priced) keyboard and mouse - what's the range like?

@Hypnopedia:
It's around 9 metres.
Follow the link to the 5000 mouse for a more detailed look at some of the mechanics (including range :)

I'm guessing that the space bar is clackety-clack affair like Microsoft's split keyboards. Has anyone tried DIY-dampening/silencing this?

I also just bought this and my system refuses to boot with the transceiver plugged in. It gets stuck after detecting HDs. I have to power off, unplug, wait to detect HDs then plug it back in. Any ideas?

I have just bought the keyboard only for £18 and like it very much. I tried a few other keyboards but could not find a comfortable one. The split ones are not my style being a two-fingered typist. It has lots of useful buttons (media keys I find very useful) as described in the review. Keys do feel positive with a decent resistance to them unlike the spongy ones. There are no lights for caps lock etc; instead there are on screen tiny windows telling the state of the keys. Maybe it increases battery life.
Overall for £18 I do nto think you will find better. Looks good too.
