Talking of Keyboards. Anyone have good long term experience with
wireless keyboard and mouse in terms of battery life. Am wondering
whether it's worth investing some hard earned salary into something that
might just cause more head-aches.

Am currently leaning towards just buying a relatively cheap wired USB
keyboard for the laptop while looking into building my own laptop stand
to prevent neck and shoulder strain.

Seen some nice ideas on youtube at:
