Microsoft's most popular wireless keyboard and mouse will work at ranges close to 15 feet, depending on where you have the receiver. The mouse seems to work better than the keyboard at longer distances, most likely because it is transmitting much less data. At a range of over around 8 feet, the typing on the keyboard lags a bit, and over 12 it gets quite spotty. It did work at exactly 15 feet from the computer, but not well enough for prolonged use. Make sure the receiver is pointed in the best possible direction towards where you will be typing, and that nothing is between the keyboard or mouse and the receiver, and you will have much better luck. Another trick is piggybacking the usb receiver for the keyboard/mouse with another device or usb hub, anything you can do to get the receiver closer to where you are. I used an external keypad for use on my laptop, which has ubs ports, and it added almost a foot to my range for the experiment.
