Answer 2

I am using the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v3.0 and the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 v2.0. These work flawlessly with Ubuntu, I would give them a very high recommendation.

Answer 3

I'm using a MS Natural Ergonomic Wireless KB & Mouse.

The mouse works but the keyboard drops connection every half hour. This can be resolved by pressing the connect button so it's a trade-off between that inconvenience and the fact that I find this the most comfortable keyboard I've used (an old wrist injury makes typing on a standard keyboard a bit uncomfortable at times).

Answer 4

I am using Microsoft Wireless (Keyboard 800+ Mouse 1000). Although I am able to use the basic functions for which they are meant but media keys do not work at all, except the mute button. So, atleast do not go for this combination...

Answer 5

Logitech mice do NOT freeze on Ubuntu. I have a M310 optical cordless mouse and it's worked flawlessly since day one (it's about 18 months old).
