I'm using the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop.

Pros
No cables

Cons
Battery usage
Keyboard layout

I go through AA batteries about once every 6-8 weeks for the mouse.

Microsoft decided to reconfigure a few keys on the keyboard which threw me for a loop at first. The Key Caps indicator is on the Desktop Receiver. If it is not in plain view, you cannot tell if Key Caps is on or off. My Receiver happens to be behind my monitor so it is a small inconvenience. No biggie though.

Other than that, being without cables has been great. I have all my cables bundled together using color coded wire ties. I have a custom Rubbermaid computer office system so most of my cables are channeled through the system. No cables on the desk is a big plus.

Mouse and keyboard work at a distance which is something most won't need but a nice feature anyway.
