Aaron Hi, I am a great fan of wireless desktops and the one I prefer to all others is the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro. All the currently available keyboards that I've see have something wrong with them IMO, but the only thing wrong with the WODP is the fact that the home/end/delete keys are sited in a vertical pattern not the original horizontal pattern. The mouse for this desktop set has the extremely desirable pair of keys on the left where they can be used for "up" and "down" commands in different programs by using the appropriate key mapping facility in the driver. Hth, -- Boo

Oh yes, and that when you power up the function keys are not enabled until you press the F Lock button. Stoopid Microsoft. Also, while I'm here, I just want to say I don't get lockouts, wireless glitches or irritating pauses with this desktop as some people have reported with others ... -- Boo
