Microsoft's Elite Wireless desktop is amazing. It has very low-pressure keys, similar to what you'd find on a laptop. The mouse is good, but if you're not careful you will be hitting all those extra buttons by mistake. Right now I am on an A4 Multimedia Wireless Desktop. KDE 3.4 recognized the volume and mute buttons, and KDE 3.5 recognises almost all of the others. The scroll wheel pushes down in the middle, functioning as the middle mouse button (same deal with Microsoft's Elite mouse). Note: The Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse advertise 6 months battery life. I haven't used them enough to verify this, but my A4 mouse needs two new AA batteries every week or so. And that's with 2300 mAh rechargables. Dotan Cohen http://technology-sleuth.com/question/why_are_internet_greeting_cards_dangerous.html
