| The Media Center one looks very nice but I wonder what is the transmission range. Right now my biggest problem is that I can't use my regular wireless keyboard from the couch; I can use the remote Ok but to use the keyboard or the mouse I have to move closer. |

The Flash demo states a range of 30ft., which is a big improvement over the usual 6ft.
A couple of questions I still have: - charging? It seems like there is no charging functionality, and battery life is unknown. - USB? The MS product page says it is PS/2 only, which further reduces the chances of integrated charging |

As far as charging, you can use some good NiMH rechargeable batteries. I use these in my Wireless Desktop Comfort Edition with great results. At the time I got the batteries (2450 mAh), I also got a charger that only takes 15 minutes to charge the batteries, but I can go months between recharges.

| How long until apple takes 10 of the buttons away, adds a scroll wheel and claims to be first to market/invent this? |

| Well considering Microsoft hasn't been the first to have invented this type of keyboard, i doubt Apple will say they have either. |

| BTW, the MCE keyboard uses the same receiver as the MCE remote. |
