Why would you even mention that to a teenager?Awaken: This is probably what you're going to want. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-124-010&depa=0
It'll do 802.11B and G, so it'll be compatable with almost any card you throw at it. (I haven't actually any A wireless stuff still on sale.)

First off, wireless mice and keyboards suck. If they go just a bit too far, then they stop working so well. Also, batteries create a problem.
Jung, I had previously looked at that one when I utfse, but it says it gets a max of 54 mbps. The connection I'm using right now gets 100 mbps and I don't find it fast enough half the time. I'm not really sure how the connection actually works, so will this effect my connection drastically?

Huh? I've been using wireless mice for the past 3 or 4 years, even for gaming, and I've never had a single problem. The battery thing does suck, but I just got a Logitech MX1000 that has an internal battery and charger. I love it.
Wired mice are a thing of the past!
Are you talking about your internet connection or the connection inside your home network? They are NOT the same thing. The router's speed won't effect your connection to the internet, since your internet connection is significantly less than 54Mb.
Currently wireless G (54Mb) is as fast as you're going to get in a consumer wireless appliance. (there are some 108Mb 'turbo' G appliances, but they're mostly just gimmicky.) If you want anything faster then 100Mb, then you should be looking and gigabit ethernet.

Nonsense.
That's why there are several brands of BlueTooth wireless keyboards/mice setups. They function perfectly up to 30 feet. I have the Logitech BlueTooth MX. It functions perfectly fine across the room (~25 feet). The batteries in the mouse recharge when you put it in the docking cradle. I've been using the same batteries in the keyboard for well over a year with no issues.

There's NO WAY you're getting a 100Mb connection from your ISP, so it doesn't matter anyway. The only thing the router's speed would effect would be traffic inside your local network. Currently 5Mb is considered a super fast connection, I hardly think you're actually getting a 100Mb connection to your house.
Let me explain this though, your connection may read 100Mb in windows, but your ISP is capping you off at a limit much lower. If you're still not convinced, try a bandwidth test at somewhere like www.bandwidthplace.com.
