can a wireless keyboard mouse recieve work as IrDA receiver

[faye]

Hi, don't know what's it actually called.

i have a Logitech Elite Duo set.(mouse and keyboard.)

i wonder if the receiver can also act like an IrDA receiver. to send data to cellphones(graphics, logo, ringtones)

don't hit my head please.

Ummm...no.

For two reasons:

1. IrDA is infrared. The Elite Duo combo works on RF technology.

2. Even if your keyboard/mouse used infrared technology (which is highly impratical for devices that move around frequently), the signalling would likely be proprietary to the equipment.


Bluetooth technology aims to make things like you mentioned possible. In fact, Microsoft has a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard/mouse combo, but it's pricey (about $180 retail).
