    Has anyone any recomendations for a decent blutooth keyboard with full number pad? (that wont break the bank)

    Me and my wife are sharing a desk & monitor for use with our work laptops at home. We alternate alternate are days so we are never using it at the same time.

    I would rathar blutooth then wireless reciever option as i know one of us will end up leaving the usb plugged into the laptop and going to work for the day snookering the other :D:D


    Any other option such as a hub etc im open to but are laptops are different brands

    It is probably a little at the higher price point and has a slightly different keyboard configuration which might prove difficult if you are touch typist but I am a fan of the Logitech K780

    It does have a few additional features like integrated tray for phone/table, support for the logitech unifying receiver and bluetooth and also supports up to 3 multiple devices at the press of a button(The white buttons in the above picture)

    In your situation i would order separate logitech unifying receivers for each laptop and leave one for each laptop. One receiver comes with the keyboard. Then when you are using the keyboard select receiver 1 on the keyboard and assign button 2 for your wife's receiver/laptop.

    Logitech receivers are replaceable in case of loss which is sadly not the case for all dongles/receivers

    I bought this Dell keyboard and mouse on Amazon in May. It has gone up in price since I purchased it. Love the mouse!

    Didn’t know you could do that with Logitech receivers. I did a course in limerick so o still have my student discount offering 30% off Logitech so this might be a runner.

    There are two types of logitech receivers, you need to make sure you use the unifying receivers with a little orange icon on the usb dongle
