Best wireless keyboard/mouse combo?
What do you think is the best such combo, after considering such things as cost, range of reception, responsiveness, LED backlighting and key placement?
Are Microsoft's hardware products reliable? Note I asked about "hardware". Important distinction.

Best bang for your buck for $49.94 @ Staples after Instant Savings MS Wireless Desktop Elite and $25 MS rebate, I've used this for 1.5 yrs and it's worked great!

I've been using the Microsoft Wireless keyboard & mouse for about a year and a half. I think I've had to recharge the two AA batteries in each about twice per device. Never had a problem with either of them.
Bought 'em together at Microcenter for about $30 after rebates.

Also, having the keypad as a separate unit is nice - I can do data entry left-handed and still have my right hand on the mouse.
The mouse does need to be recharged frequently - if you forget to put it in the cradle at night, you may run out of juice the next day, so I keep a spare set of AA NiMH cells nearby.
