Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Reccomendations? - (and why no 'NUM/CAP/SL' leds on wireless)
I just got a new 17'' LCD, and looking for a wireless keyboard / mouse to go with it  . Definately dont want beige or white  and would like the keyboard layout like this:
(I've seen some that have weird keys like the delete key extends upto insert, and some have the shift key where enter is and blech.. dont like them)
... anyways, and willing to spend up to $110 anyone have any reccomendations? And also, how come there arent any Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LED'S on all the wireless keyboards I've seen? battery reasons I'm sure.. but what if you have rechargeables... dont ANY wireless ones have them?
any help on..anything would be appreciated..
 ..

The logitech MX duo seems pretty nice, the wireless keyboard and MX 700 mouse.
I don't know about the LED indicators, but does it really matter? I, personally, never even look at the lights, I just either start typing and realise caps lock is on, or use the number pad and realise num lock is off.

I have the MX Duo set up, and it's great. Highly recommended, and within your price range.
As far as the keyboard LEDs go, I would imagine they don't put them on wireless keyboards in order to extend battery life. With the MX Duo, those lights are on the powered mouse recharge base/reciever...(the keyboard does not come with rechargables, or any way to recharge, it just uses regular alkalines)
