I have a Gyration Cordless Optical Suite as well (keyboard & mouse), and I love it. The mouse is sweet with the solid-state gyroscope. You can use it like a regular pointing device without having to roll it over a surface. Very nice once you acclimate yourself to it.<BR>

I love the keyboard too, though I prefer smaller, softer keyboards (I still have nightmares from my college days working in a computer lab, the clanging noise of a hundred IBM M-series keyboards dominating my brainwaves). Gyration also sells a suite with a full-sized keyboard.<BR>

Highly recommended.<BR>

I use a Gyration Cordless Optical Suite. It's RF, so you don't need
line-of-sight, and it has a (nominal) range of 25 ft. The keyboard is
nice and small, and the mouse is gyroscopic as well as optical, which
means it can be used in mid-air as well as on any suitable surface.
The only thing with mine was that I apparently got a defective unit... I
RMA'd it once, and they supposedly 'repaired' it, but it died again a
few days after I got it back. I RMA'd it again, and for whatever
reason (they said they lost my unit, but maybe they finally got wise to
the fact that it was defective) they replaced it with a new one, which
has been working great for the past month. I don't use it heavily, so
I can't comment on battery life. They retail for about USD $90 (a bit
on the pricy side, I guess), and works as standard USB HID keyboard/
mouse devices.
