I use a Gyration Cordless Optical Suite.  It's RF, so you don't need 
line-of-sight, and it has a (nominal) range of 25 ft.  The keyboard is 
nice and small, and the mouse is gyroscopic as well as optical, which 
means it can be used in mid-air as well as on any suitable surface.

The only thing with mine was that I apparently got a defective unit... I 
RMA'd it once, and they supposedly 'repaired' it, but it died again a 
few days after I got it back.  I RMA'd it again, and for whatever 
reason (they said they lost my unit, but maybe they finally got wise to 
the fact that it was defective) they replaced it with a new one, which 
has been working great for the past month.  I don't use it heavily, so 
I can't comment on battery life.  They retail for about USD $90 (a bit 
on the pricy side, I guess), and works as standard USB HID keyboard/
mouse devices.
