I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and I couldn't be happier with it.. Battery life is good on them (using energizer) and the distance is amazing..
Totally worth the money spent on them! |

I had the Logitech Wireless Duo (keyboard/mouse). I liked them for a while, but out of no where my computer would lock up and restart. I tried calling and e-mailing various times and they kept telling me it was because I didn't have new software, but I had just downloaded it.
Other than that the performance was overall crappy. In games like CS where you are moving the mouse very quickly, it will make you do crazy circles. The max mouse speed is much lower on wireless mice. I now own a USB2 keyboard/mouse. I HATE wireless =\
If you DO get a wireless keyboard/mouse, get a damn recharger for the mouse. I used to replace the batteries every week because it'd die on me. |

I had the Logitech MX Duo, and was quite happy with it. No problems, even in games. Never got to try out the "laser" one, so can't comment there. The battery life on the keyboard was great, the mouse would last about 2 days with normal use for me, although I did have it run out of battery life if I was playing games for an extended period of time. Kept a corded keyboard and mouse under the bed, only had to use the mouse a few times.
IMO, it's worth it. |

Yes, it's over $100 though, but it runs as the same speed as a wired mouse, typically around 125mhz. I've used one, and it's great, far better then any other wireless out there. I have a wireless Microsoft mouse, and it lags, as they around around 85mhz. |
