Default Re: wireless keyboard & mouse

Thanks for the link. Here is a quote from the second review:

"Second, the base station needs to be placed at least 8" away from other electronic devices, yet it comes with a very short 4-5' cord. With a full tower case on the floor on one side of the desk, this severely limits placement (Logitech suggests AGAINST using a hub, like in some monitors, a switchbox, or an extension cord). When I move in a few months, I'm going to need to design my new computer layout based on the limitations of the Cordless MX Duo base station's short cord!"

So, it appears to be called a "base station" and the complaint this reviewer is describing is exactly what I'm trying to avoid! I like the flexibility of my wireless mouse but it sounds like I can't get the same for a keyboard. True?

From the sounds of it that "bike ramp" is a wireless mouse charger and it should only use 1 USB port for both the mouse and keyboard:

The price alone for both products (and only having to deal with one cordless transmitter and losing only one USB port) is reason enough to buy them together instead of separately.
