I have a Logitech MX Air mouse, I use it at 15m, will test at 25m.

Congratulations on performing an imperial to metric conversion, albeit a rather pointless one.

In that case you're in luck. There are a number of long range mice on the market.

That number is 1 in this case, smartass. Why didn't you just say one. The rest won't work....or nowadays won't even be considered "long range"

Cheapest local aquisition of the Gyration wireless air mouse (GYM2200) in that article that has 30m range seems to be from importitall for R1267.
It is roughly half price from Amazon before import / shipping costs

edit: The bluetooth dongle with 50m range is R1046 from pclinkshop

Maybe I'm missing something, but how the hell would he be able to or want to use a mouse at 25m? Why? How would you see the screen to navigate, unless projected or on the biggest a$$ monitor... if projected, then the PC would logically be on the projector side, then a normal 10m mouse would be fine.

The customer is always right, the bastids. They demand the stupid, and tend not to listen to sound advice on better ways.

I'm stuck with the same issue often, and end up doing it the customers way. And then wait for them to realise how silly they are before showing them the alternate

My apologies, I didn't know there was a 100 feet mouse in that article

No, it can be any wireless technology.

Nevermind, the mouse I found was a typo.

Good price - bought one from Makro for same price online on Black Friday. But if now combined with takealot voucher you can get for R150 cheaper...

No data or no acces.

Was 309 for the 6/128 before so for those looking for a baseline price - best wait a little longer.

Xperience Android TV Box 16GB with DStv & Netflix for R1199

In the reviews people recon they prefer it to the xiaomi mi box

Compared to the mi box it has:

• 16GB storage (8GB more)
• Proper keyboard / mouse combo
• pricetag R100 cheaper

There is also a 1/8GB model for R999 but I think one should have at least 2GB ram for smooth operation on these boxes.
