I was thinking that bluetooth would be best. I use IR right now, but could get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse If needed.

Any reason you didn't select my answer? I did suggest BT first.

It's not right to accept one comment over another just because one person has more points than another. You can't be awarded negative points so someone who has been at EE for as long time or posts in every question irrespective if they know what they are talking about or not is bound to get the points by your criteria.

Consider for example "what is two plus two" is asked 1000 times, expert No 1 replies "four" just once, expert No 2 replies "five" 1000 times. Expert 2 is likely to have higher points at the end of the day due to the occasional incorrectly accepted answer.

Oh, and by the way it's impossible to say whether a Bluetooth mouse has better range than a wireless mouse, it's all dependent on the power of the particular device puts out since both operate at the same frequency.
