Looking to get one so i can use the PC in bed without havin to lean over to the desk and stretch, my back and neck are startin to hurt   Last time I used one was about 4 years ago ish and i gave up quickly cos it was awful, but ive heard theyve come on a long way since then? Not looking to spend a fortune, I just want something that will work well (only 2m max), has a good battery life and if possible doesnt need built in bluetooth as I dont have it on the PC. If they generally do then I'll just get a cheapy bluetooth receiver too

I have the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth. The batteries last ages in the keyboard, and a fair while in the mouse. They have the usual bluetooth range so they're great for sitting in bed. The keyboard has the usual range of extra hotkeys, and the mouse has 5 buttons. Cost £50 a couple of years ago, and it came with the bluetooth receiver (which obviously works with all bluetooth devices such as phones/PDAs too). Can't recommend it enough.
