anyone game w/ a wireless mouse and keyboard ? I want to get my Quake on in front of the big TV and you gotta use a mouse keyboard for Quake.

I read some reviews on Toms Hardware but figured I'd check here too.

is IR good enough or do I need bluetooth or ? I will be sitting close to the computer so range in my tiny one room isn't an issue (I hope)

You don't need IR. IR sucks.

Get the Logitech cordless MX duo and be done with it. Mostly because Logitech stuff is awesome, and I hate buying AA batteries. (the reciever is a cradle that charges the mouse)

thanks for the endorsment. I did read about that one on TH. sounds good but a little bulky looking. I may go w/ a Dell branded one just cause it matches the one that came w/ my comp and I probably have Dell coupons I could use too. the reviews @ Dell are good anyway.

I don't know much about wireless keyboards, but I have a Logitech MX1000 cordless mouse. Yeah, I agree that it looks a bit bulky. But it's also the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.

I've never really cared about having a wireless keyboard on my gaming system so I can't help there. I am a huge fan of wireless mice on my gaming system. I own a MX700(used at work now) and a MX1000 and I love both of them.
