To Go Cordless or not

I'm thinking of buying Cordless Keyboard, Mouse, and Joystick. Any comments?

If yes which ones to buy?

Thanks

I had a wireless mouse. It was an awesome mouse, but it got slower and slower as time progressed. I would say no.

i agree

with most peoples set up i don`t see the point
i mean alot of people use cordless but they are still sat in the same place everytime lol.however if you had a large office area and you need to be in different positions whilst using them then yes i would say logitech

sorry for rambling

Actually the reason I wanted it was becuase I've the ability to connect my laptop to my TV and watch movies and play games on it that way. I was thinking if I go wireless I can sit far away on my couch and enjoy it a bit more (5 feet distance b/w TV and couch.

But I know what you mean ...

i like cordless.if u saw my computer u'd just see a mess. cordless is very nice when pulling up a chair away, (a very comfy one) and sitting back there with teh wierless keyboard and mouse and controling the movie. And it cleans up cords.

i say no .... because the time it takes for the info from your mouse to get to the computer takes a lot longer then a hard wire...

but i guess if you do ... get like a logitech kit, like steve said...

and on bad thing about wireless mice is it's a good thing to chuck at the wall when you get mad....

and if you keep all your wires organized that shouldn't be a problem :P i spent like 2 hours yestarday cleaning up the wires inside my pc and outside too lol...

Don't care for wireless mice, they have a habit of running away.
