Anyone know of a long range(~5m) wireless keyboard and mouse?

possibly a touchpad/trackball kinda wireless keyboard.

I've found plenty that do a couple(2) of metres, but anything more than
about 2 they start to flake out.

It's being used in the Oncology Bunker at work... don't know whether or
not RF would be bad or not(I'm guessing not seeing as the physicist said
"maybe one that uses radio so no line of sight")

either way, I've forward it to him.

With your "logic" you want to work out how small a house would be to be
"down the road" and still within 5m of the PC?

He said down the road. How many roads you towies building in apartment
blocks these days. Maybe you should keep the roads for outside and us poor
farmers could have some money left over instead of paying you roading bill.
