I'm in the process of converting my living room into a networked media/entertainment lair of sorts and I'm looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse combo that are slick, stylish and massively functional. I came across this new one from Microsoft called the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 and not only does it use 2.4 GHz Bluetooth technology to free me from wires and give me a range up to 30 feet, it is ultra thin and light, has a rechargeable mouse, a backlit keyboard, tons of features(see below) and the design is incredibly sleek and modern. The only drawback is the $250 luxury price tag and a number pad would be nice, but I really like what I'm seeing. How much would you be willing to spend on a keyboard and mouse? Let us know in the Comments what you think.

P.S. Yes, I've seen the Logitech diNovo Edge and it's a great design as well, but it doesn't come with a mouse, it would pair better with the Playstation 3 and I really don't want to be cleaning off fingerprints everytime it's used.
