combo units i have tried seem to only reach 3-5 feet from the receiver.

i hate to admit it, but i have a M$ mouse that reaches about 30 feet on one
AA battery. it's white with black trim and has a blue light. i'd give you a
model number if i wasn't 1500miles away from home.

as far as a keyboard with good range, i'd like to know what you find. i use
a noisy old IBM-AT with a long cable i soldered together. it might not be
wireless, but it survived an entire mug of coffee and daily ash deposits.

good luck on your search.
