I use my computer from an arm chair as it is also my t.v. and my enterainment centre. Just before Christmas I thought since the keyboard I have was getting a bit past it ( its from 3 computers ago, but I've got use to it) I would get a new one, wireless, no cables.
So i got the mouse as well, after 2 weeks I dropped the mouse 2 foot off the arm of the chair onto a carpet, it never worked again.The keyboard started playing up almost as soon as I started using it .I was changing batteries 2-3 times a week and I don't use it that much . Today it started to play up again and now its in a million pieces all over the foor and I'm back to using my old keyboard!!!

What a shame Crusty! Awful predicament sods law and all that! That is my sort of luck that is, i have a dongle on my netbook which is good, Vodafone, but i have only 3 ports in total i have a grey stick i have to put in for my mouse as i hate the little pad! Then i have an e-cig to stop me smoking so much, but when i have to charge it i have to remove the grey stick as i cant fit anything next to the dongle, and the boys have lost my white extension (as they use it for the Playstation 3 )it is slimmer and allows me to use all 3 ports, story of my life!! I hate it when you try to do something better and it turns out more difficult than you imagined!!

Crusty. It made me laugh, a black cat writing a topic on mice.

Sorry to hear all your problems. I use my laptop for surveys from my armchair as I am a little disabled. I recently watered my keyboard with some coffee, it did not like it, perhaps it was the Sweetex. Replaced the keyboard with one from Ryman on line, only 14.95 but not a wireless one, then I replaced my mouse with a wireless mouse from Logitech 4.95 and then got a USB splitter for 4 inputs 1.95. All work perfectly and I am delighted. I have virtually a new machine for less than 20.00.
If you would like more details, let YSP know and they can let me have your mail address.
Good luck
Baggy

Hi Baggy I was using a 4 way splitter before but i went for the remote opption as I kept getting the trailing wires caught up in the vaccum cleaner but i have gone back to it. I too have the Logitech mouses but not wireless, in fact i bought 2 as they keep falling of the arms of the chair and breaking.
