Bluetooth/wireless Keyboard mouse combo recommendations

    Hi

    I've been using a Microsoft combo for the last 10 years with different laptops and the mouse has given up the ghost.

    Had a quick look on Amazon in the 35 - 45 quid bracket. Just wondering does anyone have any recommendations, or brands to steer clear of.

    Also, if I go with Bluetooth, could I connect other devices with that dongle, such as transferring media to phone or Bluetooth headphones?

    Does the laptop not have BT built in? Even my ancient laptop does

    Should work...
    My ancient Logitech MX5000 keyboard, with Bluetooth 2.0 adapter/receiver, does allow to connect with JVC HA-S70BT(Bluetooth 3.0) no problem...
    Later versions should be backwards compatible.
