Anyone bought the above?
Need to replace my wireless kb/mouse, and thinking about getting the above. Its not cheap thats for sure, but it looks like itll come in handy for Media Centre. (Planning on using it in the lounge).
Kustom PCs - £84.00 (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_3032.html)
eBuyer - £86.99 (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=118547&_LOC=UK)
MS are releasing an 8000 series one in September whichll also feature a recharging dock for the keyboard, 4port USB hub and auto sensing backlit keys. Probably be north of £120 though. The backlit keys would be nice to have in a dark lounge, but its not worth £35.
Hmm wonder if itll work with the 360.
Personally, I have got the below Logitech solution; far cheaper and does look really nice in the flesh, really slimline with proper keys and nice feeling mouse. Absolute bargain for what you actually get.

I use it with Media Center, and at that price you can also buy the Media Center remote control that Microsoft sell for about £20 which still comes in cheaper. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/77109
The MS one does look nice, but to be honest I have seen pictures of the one coming out later in the year and if you have got loads of cash and wants something that looks really nice then I would wait, but tbh, £80+ on a keyboard and mouse is just a waste when the design is nice, but not exceptional!
Also, worth checking out the Media Center Keyboard http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/94853 made specifically for MCE2005/Vista as well as a Keyboard called DiNovo Edge http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/119977 made by Logitech, tis expensive, but in terms of design and aesthetics, well I think it looks great.
