Mouse With Your Keyboard, Key With Your Mouse

Tired of constantly switching between keyboard and mouse to browse the Web or work in one or more applications? Wouldn't it be more convenient to move your keyboard or mouse anywhere without being encumbered by their cables? Logitech's Cordless Freedom Optical keyboard and mouse are an appropriately named set of wireless input devices that eliminate two cables and put some of the functionality of each device into the other.

The keyboard has a row of ten buttons on the top: one to shut down or restart your PC, and nine that you can customize to open Web pages, start programs, or display a menu you create. A built-in scroll wheel on the left side of the keyboard offers additional navigation shortcuts for Web browsing or any application. You can customize the center wheel on the mouse to allow scrolling through five Web shortcuts of your choosing. The mouse has Favorites/Bookmarks, Reload, Back, Stop, and Help buttons, and it is comfortable in either your left or right hand.

Both the mouse and keyboard use radio signals rather than infrared, so you needn't worry about maintaining a line of sight with the receiver.
