Conference Room Input Devices? [closed]

Really, pushing off topic and subjective but I really like Logitech products. Check out the Logitech MX5500.

It's bluetooth 2.0, which should provide an approximate 10 meter range without line of site. The mouse comes with a replaceable and rechargeable AA battery, which can be placed in a docking station provided with it. You could also purchase low discharge NiHM rechargeables, which would allow the keyboard similar functionality. As an added bonus, the product is aesthetically pleasing.

Ultimately, most bluetooth wireless keyboard and mice should satisfy your requirements as long as they are not on the low end. RF tends to be less effective in longer range applications.

Be wary about security too, as you could potentially risk restricted data input via the devices. Historically, the protocols used are notoriously insecure.

Bluetooth gives you 30 feet and much better mouse response but costs more than RF.

I have had good results with Gyration products for this application (conference rooms).

The "gyro control" is a cool feature, and experienced presenters will get the hang of it, but it isn't a reason to buy the device. The reliability, distance, good battery life, and durability are reasons.

They sell them at CDW, and Buy.com happens to have a keyboard/mouse combo for a huge discount. I suspect it is last years model!

Rosewill wireless keyboard/mouse. It has incredible range, much better than the Microsoft products I've used. We use it in our conference room, not sure of the specs, but it's a huge four-section conference table. You can sit at the end of it and control the PC which is located in a cabinet on the other side of the room.
