RE: Re: Comments please on this wireless keyboard + mouse?

["Hawes,Timothy Edward \(GEG\)" <haweste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I demo'd one like this, even wrote a review for Mark's site:
http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/modules.php?name=3DNews&file=3Darticle&sid=
=3D1203

In short, I didn't really get on with it. Range was good, battery life was
=
good in my short test, however I just couldn't get used to the weird
keyboa=
rd layout for Pg Up/Dn etc. and I see the eBuyer one has a US-style ENTER
k=
ey (or at least that's what's shown in the picture). Something else I
don't=
get on with, unfortunately.

YMMV of course :-)
