It would be cool if  someone here could make something similar but cheaper.

I'm guessing with the arduino bluetooth components available somebody could, but I just don't think the demand is there.

I understand wanting a wireless mouse.  But my keyboard just sits there.    I don't see much use for wireless keyboards (while understanding some do).

I have a cheapo wireless logitech rubber dome keyboard that I use for my media pc hooked up to my tv, and that's it.

I've got one. I've gotten it to work for a couple minutes at a time, but mine doesn't seem to hold a charge.

...or an iPad runs iOS and a Mac runs OS X.
