seems fun to use a cordless keyboard for the TV while in bed.

I'm not one to judge what you do in your bed, but that sounds a little too weird to me.

Just got this in the mail. Funny, I didn't even think of posting it as a deal.
I really needed a setup to play games on my home theater TV. My TV is on the 1st floor but my PC is in the basement, connected by a 25' HDMI cable. I really needed a keyboard /mouse combo that would work reliably through a floor and desktop. This seemed like the best shot since the MX5500 set has issues with certain simultaneous key presses.
Set it up today. I used a USB extension cable to put the Logitech USB dongle right underneath where my couch is. Fired it all up and it works! Connection is very solid.
It's not a perfect gaming setup, but it will have to do. There is a slight amount of perceptible lag, as if I'm always playing on-line. Also, it's a little weird getting used to a keyboard that needs to be woken up every now and then.
It's not perfect, but I think it's the best thing out there. This is a killer price from a killer vendor.
BTW, don't get this is you're not using Windows or if you don't like to use Logitech's SetPoint software. There is no way to reassign keys without SetPoint. That might not seem like a big deal until you grasp the edge of the keyboard and accidentally shut down your PC.

I like the Logitech products but I'm always surprised how fast the letters come off the A, S and E keys on me. I have this system now with an upgrade mouse and the letters were gone on these keys after about a month.

Geeze #3, just put the HTPC in the entertainment stack next to the TV already. This kbd is excessively large, too thin to be very sturdy, and costs more than it should for no good reason (logitech seems unable to mold a curved piece of plastic at the same price as an almost flat one, unlike most product manufacturers).
