Mine's a pain too at times. But, after throwing away loads of supposedly flat new batteries and re-charging the re-chargeable ones...I have discovered it's *not* faulty batteries, its the flippin' infra-red thingy! This keyboard has a rollerball in it instead of a proper mouse (and L&R click buttons on tuther side of keyboard) and it gets really sticky, usually only late evening and only on Flirtbox! Other websites it works fine.....odd that. Not sure why or how.
I wouldn't go back to normal keyboard and mouse now though.

Mine came with the computer, didnt get a choice. Its one of those slimline "lounge PC"s - the intention eventually being to get a tv to hook it up to....one day, hopefully before the computer becomes obsolete (whooops prolly too late, i've had it a few months already!).

I've noticed that. I was checking out tvs the other day, and one particular make - they were all black or silver - there's a white version £100 cheaper!!! Funny world.

Hhhhmmmmm my son exchanged his bluetooth headset thingy at (several different) Tesco;s - eventually he stomped on the last one with his size 15s, so he never even got his money back!! Every store he went to said "probably a dodgy batch" (shared from cornwall thru hampshire thru surrey?). I will never buy anything other than food from tesco now.
