Need a good keyboard/mouse- any suggestions?

[psoleko]

I LIKE it!

Does it work in Linux at all? As a normal KB?

Can You use 2 keyboards at once in Linux or Windows? Fro 2 player games?

I have a HUGE desk...

Yes it works as a normal USB keyboard. Not sure about using 2 keyboards at once, I think they would act as the same keyboard unless there is some way to map the 2nd differently.

Microsoft makes much better hardware then software.

I have the Logitech MX 5000 kb/mouse.

I am usually a wireless hater too, but i recently got this bluetooth kb and laser mouse for a steal. I must say, bluetooth is worlds apart from RF... its incredibly responsive.

Linux support is pretty good, plug and play for basic functions. and ive gotten most all the buttons working on the keyboard and mouse with just a little tweaking with xmodmap, imwheel, and xev.

I havent found a single flaw with this keyboard or this mouse, they're really spectacular.

I've just received the Logitech MX 5000 kb/mouse as well. Could you tell me more about how to tweak so I can get most buttons to work?

Thanks!
