    I usually recommend any of the Logitech wireless keyboards with a unifying receiver. I like ones without too many functions, like K400 plus or K800. K400 plus with a touchpad is really great for when space is at a premium. Unifying means you can have both their unifying keyboard and a mouse on one tiny USB receiver. So it saves you one USB port. They get different IDs, so you can have more keyboards and mouses if you want. It's a pretty good system and works reliably.

    I'd rec'd (Logitech) K480 or something like it? It's pretty compact (no numeric keys) but ya can use it on 3 devices (liek a lil switch to control - ie - Kodi, desktop or mac) real life saver! Also works (I think all their keyboards do?) w/ standard bluetooth, no need for "special" receiver...

    I already use a Logitech MX Master mouse with a unifying receiver and was actually looking at some of the Logitech ones, so reassuring to see them recommended!

    Even though the quality of Logitech products has dropped in comparison to about 10 or more years ago, they are still better and longer lasting than others. I still use my MX 518 mouse... it still works perfectly even though it's about 13 years old! :wink: However, the Logitech keyboard I bought 7 years ago is... still working perfectly, too. :) It just looks a bit worn down.

    wtf I actually never thought about a bluetooth mouse instead of a USB dongle occupying one of the two ports on my laptop. :facepalm:

    new transmitters are way to strong..100-300 meters..not healthy...first was 5 meters or so...but all complained we want more cancer

    a tech guy did all wallpapers in his house layered with aluminium...in 80ies was that...the wallpapers didnt sell well so they did vanish completly from mainstream market..
    so in 80ies it was way less radiation but they did build that wallpapers...and that tech guy was happy to use them...he did see heavy need in that..even back then

    today we have such shit load on radiation...bluetooth are microwaves...wooohhoo
    body has no problem with it but everday for life is another story

    also better keyboards available with cabel it seems

    Thank's for asking, I actually have the same exact question ...Perfect timing!

    Perfect timing indeed. Thanks Sinewave, I just ordered the K400. I don't use the Num Keys anyway, and that extra Pad is going to prove handy (pardon the pun :wink:).

    THANK'S GUY'S! :mates:

    I use Logitech K520 combined with Logitech M510 mouse. I use the same receiver on both and I sit a couple of meters from the receiver. No lagging so I'm pleased with both, not high-end but not low-end either
