I am going to keep my computer in one room, and put my projector in the next room about 15 feet away.
Has anybody used a decent wireless keyboard and/or mouse that works well through walls?

Things might have changed but the last time I looked at wireless
keyboards and mice they had a distance limitation of 5 to 10 feet.

Yeah, my wireless desktop can only be about 5 feet away from the base unit...

We just tested my Logitech wireless keyboard and laser mouse Here at the office and it stoped working at 25 feet.

I suppose it depends on the technology. Bluetooth will have a very short range while IR needs a line of sight. I believe that there are RF keyboards out there that should have better range. Also I believe that there are ways to extend the range of all of these technologies.

I just bought a 15 ft usb cable and moved my receiver to under the couch, it helps me get the computer farther away
