good evening all,<div><br></div><div> I'm looking for a keyboard / mouse setup to use with myth. I have a $30 logitech setup that worked for over a year, but recently the effective range has been decreasing, and is now essentially 0 from the emitter/receiver to the keyboard (I have to put the emitter/receiver on my lap while the keyboard is...on my lap for it to work). The range was never great, as it would work well from one end of the couch, but not the other, and I'm in a room that's only 10' x 12' which puts the keyboard no more than 6-8 feet from the receiver. It is an RF based device, and perhaps local wifi traffic or something along those lines could be the issue? About the only thing I could think to do is change the batteries, but that improved things little if any. I use this mainly for mythtv navigation/web surfing from my couch, but also for gaming (I dual boot the frontend to play Starcraft 2 on the big screen) and lately I've been using a wired keyboard. Now, the WAF on the wired keyboard is sinking fast after she tripped over it, and I was wondering if any myth folks had recommendations for a keyboard/mouse combo that worked well for them in all three functions described. Has anyone experienced similar degradation in performance of a wireless keyboard? Did I have a dud to begin with, or did do they all gradually lose range? Any input will be appreciated. </div>
