Hi, I am in the market for a new keyboard/mouse and was looking at
Logitech's bluetooth desktops. I also want to get a remote since I use
my computer as my media center (not I don't have MS media center
installed). One of the Logitech keyboards has a detachable remote
which would be handy and probably all I need but I am worried about
range, I would like to be able to control it from another room (I live
in a medium sized apartment) and I get the impression that the ATI
remote will do that. Has anyone out there used one or both of these
setups? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Bluetooth is deliberately designed to be short range, however my Logitech
Bluetooth keyboard works fine in every room in my house (I just tried it).
It's a small house though, metal-lath plaster on wood frame, so YMMV.

I don't really like the ATI remote very much--it works fine with ATI MMC but
it's not all that happy otherwise in my experience. The Logitech DiNovo
has some degree of functionality with everything I've thrown at it.

There is always the option to add an extender. I have one I picked up at
radio shack that works on every remote I have. There is even an external
antenna that can be added to extend the range of the extender.
