I think all the manufacturers are purposefully reducing the range on 
keyboards after HP got in a bit of a bad position in 2002/2003 because 
of security implications of long-range wireless keyboards.

So, maybe your best approach would be to scan e-bay for some 2002-model 
HP keyboards (and hope that your neighbors don't have any)...
