    Choice of wireless keyboards

    I'm getting a new wireless keyboard/mouse combination some time soon, and I think I have narrowed it down to two options:

    http://datakjeden.no/stavanger/PartD...732808;c:36140

    (The sites are norwegian, but for some reason the descriptions are in English.)

    I was wondering if anyone had experience with either of these products or the series in which they belong, or could just make a guess based on the descriptions, as to which would work better with Ubuntu.

    I would really like the second one, but I get the feeling that one is more complicated, and thus less likely to work with Linux. It's a blootooth one, but includes a seperate adapter, so I shouldn't have to worry about that, right? Then again, there seems to be decent support for most Logitech products.

    I will be doing a fresh install of Hardy soon, but I don't think that should be relevant...

    Thanks for any advise!

    The second one will work...Not sure if it will 'right out of the box' mabye after few tweaks.. You ll need the bluez-utils and bluez-libs packages

    Thanks, good to know.

    Do you have any idea about the little numer pad thing? I suppose I should be able to map it with the shortcuts utility in Gnome - so long as Ubuntu is actually receiving the signal, it should be able to do something with it no matter what it actually is... I think...

    But thanks
    I can now go spend lots of money. The second one's expensive :7
