Steve, that's a very useful bit of info on keyboards. Maybe I'll go and take a
look on Chery's site for myself, but might you tell me how much the mouse is
too? Might be nice to have a matching one, and I've found that many rechargable
batteries don't fit well in my optical mouse as rechargables are a bit fatter
very often. I do like the idea of a mouse designed to take rechargables.

Hi Listers
A couple of months ago I commented to the list that I'd tried a number of
wireless keyboards, none of which I could recommend to others on the list.
These included keyboards from Microsoft, belkin, trust, 2 from logitec, 2 from
creative and 3 from PC World. The problems were equally associated with strange
keyboard layouts as with the poor range of the systems.
However, I have just bought 2 new cherry marlin keyboards which meet all the
features I've always wanted in a wireless keyboard.
They are of the modern flat design, with positive key travel, with no bounce and
a slight click. The layout is exactly standard, with 3 groups of 4 function keys
and a proper sized delete key together with an insert key. In fact the keyboard
has the feel of a highly professional unit, for a price of £40 plus VAT and
delivery.
The great thing about the keyboard is the range which is quoted as 10 metres,
but I've tried it outside in the garden about 15 metres from the sender and
through two internal walls and an exterior wall - albeit in my modern house, so
I don't know what the range would be outside of an older house with stone walls.
But I would think that it would travel inside a house from say a computer in the
bedroom down to the lounge.
The sender/receiver is very small being approximately one inch by two inches. It
uses the 2 MHz range rather than the more usual 500 KHz range, but it doesn't
seem to affect my wi-fi system.
I have no experience of the optical mouse other than saying that the feel is
equally professional and it comes with a charging cable that when fitted during
recharging, allows the mouse to be used just like a corded mouse, so users can
always use it irrespective of the state of the rechargeable batteries.
The keyboards can be purchased from: tekdata on 01782.665500.
