I just went to my neighbors to type this sentence, 3 walls and 30 feet away,worked fine. It started breaking up at 4 walls and 40 feet away. It is not bluetoothe. It is the standard 2.4 ghz. and works 10 times better than any bluetoothe. I have had absolutely no problems with the unifying adapter. I have accumulated 2 marathon mice, and this keyboard mouse set. The unifying reciever's all work great and brain dead easy to pair up. Love the quite keyboard and smooth feeling keys. I am spoiled with this set. I'm sure it will work with your dell or any computer.

You need a 2.4Ghz Desktop for good range (around 30ft) The only ones by logitech are the DiNivo's which are very expensive and one called simply the Cordless desktop 2400( anround $55). I also was using this for a "Couch system" and it works well, but if you go for this get yourself a USB extension as the receiver is a little USB stick and being shielded by my metal computer gear reduced the range, the usb extension allowed me to find a good receiving spot.

I don't use a wireless keyboard, but a standard 15.4" laptop. However, I do use a separate mouse which is wireless and it is to the right of the laptop. I have no problem with this setup. I am guessing it would probably be fine for your keyboard and mouse depending on where you have your displays.

Hello there Harry. When I first checked it, it said it was but couldn't connect so what I did was I purchased a USB 4.0 Bluetooth Dongle on Ebay for $7.00 and it worked great. I connected my phone, Bluetooth speaker and printer to it. Hope this helps. Haven't had any issues with this DESKTOP! !

I've used the keyboard at about 9ft away from the wireless dongle connected to the computer USB port. No issues, never lost connection.

No problems yet. I use it with my laptop as well when traveling. Works well, and has a good feel and tactile sound. Also, key spacing feels good, and the "home" position is easy to detect. I am currently also using a fairly expensive Logitech wireless rechargeable keyboard. For people who have been around with keyboards, this Dell has a much better feel and the fingers do not get lost as easy.

No conflicts at all with Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Had to learn how to use NFC, where you use it to pair your bluetooth device to speakers one time only, and then it's paired permanently until you un-pair it. For my purposes, I use it with my cell and tablet. I don't use it with my PC or laptop because I don't want computer noises going through these beautiful speakers. The sound these speakers put out is perfect!

You can connect other Bluetooth devices to this dongle. What you have to do is hold down the connect button on the dongle while you are plugging it in. Then you just use it as a normal bluetooth dongle. It works on Vista, I don't know about XP. Also, you have to do this every time you restart your computer. If you restart it, the only thing that will be connected is the Edge keyboard. It's a pain but I have connected my cell phone with this device.

It worked great with my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. No problems during setup or use. Hope it helps. Stuart.

Why not just get a bluetoothed keyboard and mouse? Then you can use your keyboard and mouse remotely with your laptop on a desk?

I haven't used it with a Windows 7 computer. But, there is no reason why it wouldn't. I have several Windows 7 computers (laptop and desktop) that have Bluetooth radios and I've never had a problem with any Bluetooth keyboard or mouse with any of them. This set uses standard Bluetooth spec for connectivity or it wouldn't work with the devices that I have it connected to now.

Distance depends a lot on how well the Bluetooth works on your pc, and the distance and makeup of your walls. You may want to try with another Bluetooth device like a headset. If that works you may be in luck. If not getting it to work is less likely. As for the keyboard itself I haven't noticed any problems, so it isn't especially weak. Good luck

I was very unhappy the first time I plug this into my Dell Dimension Desktop, the mouse worked fine but I couldn't get the keyboard to work. After messing with and switching them around I did get both devices to work. I have an old mouse systems keyboard which I love and I'm so glad it finally worked. I hope this helps....stay safe

The Blue Tooth keyboards suggested are not very useful. They are too small and hard to type. If you have usb wireless keyboard and mice you won't need one at all. I bought one and found it just wasting my money. Besides you are using CX-919 at home to connect to your big TV. So use your PC USB wireless KB and mice is much easier.

Yes, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Dell - it works well with this laptop.

John, currently using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my tf701t I got for father's day. Waiting for a bit till all the dock nonsense settles. Got a dock from ncixus and was old. Returned using a bluetooth from my wife's old iPad case and keyboard. Fine so far.
