Wireless desktop sets for the cube Updated January 12, 2006 The keyboard and the mouse you're using probably came standard with the rest of your computer equipment. But there's no reason to settle for standard-issue when working for a mature company. These keyboard and mice sets feature a variety of programmable quick keys and media controls that will save time when you're accessing frequently used files and programs. In addition to helping you work faster, these wireless sets keep cord clutter off your desk and are designed with ergonomics in mind, so they'll take some of the pain out of slaving away at your computer for eight hours a day.

| Review summary | It's wireless and stylish, and it offers several useful features, but the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 has a cheap, lightweight feel that hurts this otherwise well-designed keyboard-and-mouse set. | The attractive Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser features flashy new technology, but its few flaws keep it from being our favorite desktop set. | This keyboard-and-mouse set is comfortable and operates flawlessly. | The keyboard requires a good portion of your desk, but with its size comes an army of useful shortcut keys, a responsive mouse, and the ease and range of wireless Bluetooth technology. | This sleek keyboard-and-mouse set is comfortable and easy to use, and it has a great price, too. |
