I have an issue with my setup.
As of now I have my PC hooked p to my 50". It's sweet. My problem though is that while lounging on my couch my laser mouse and keyboard ( $100 dollar logitech set) doesnt communitate with th reiever ver well...im at 12' away and im not uglying up my room with usb extensions.
Solution:
Im looking for a LONG RANGE 20' or more keyboard/mouse set to solve this. I heard a bluetooth set would fix it but thats from some douchebag working at best buy..f them. Anyone got suggestions??

Cool, let me know how you like it.
You can read more about the mouse here:
http://www.gyration.com/?l=en#productDetail/office/goProMouse
100 foot with no line-of-sight requirement (since it is RF based) really ought to do the job, I would think.
That is nearly the highest end mouse/keyboard wireless combo you can buy.
BTW, Tiger Direct has it for $249.99

Spend a few quid on getting some wire and extending it yourself?

The OP specifically said, "im not uglying up my room with usb extensions. "
