Bluetooth not making the cut

PC World plays with a bunch of wireless keyboards and mice and discovers the same thing a lot of other people have learned that hard way — that Bluetooth doesn't do a much better job than regular old RF of cutting the cord:

A newer way to go wireless is with a keyboard and mouse that use Bluetooth. This technology allows your PC to talk
to as many as seven Bluetooth-ready devices up to 30 feet away—and the devices don't need to be in view of the base
station or USB adapter to connect. However, Bluetooth keyboards and mice cost more than their RF counterparts. And
during most of our tests, unfortunately, Bluetooth devices took longer to install, and some connections were
occasionally shaky.

If after that you still want to take the plunge and go Bluetooth, they recommend Logitech's DiNovo Media Desktop
(pictured at right).
