Okay so this summer I got a job and have pocket money. I would like to get rid of all these wires... However, I don't want like 5 usb devices plugged in at once. So do those bluetooth usb things actually work well? Say I wanted a mouse, a keyboard, and headphones all connected to this one bluetooth dongle, could it do that?
(I especially want bluetooth headphones so I can use with my phone too) I understand not everything might be able to be connected through 1 dongle, but I don't really want more than 2.

something like this I mean: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833340012

For the keyboard and mouse almost all the newer sets can connect 5 or so devices to one receiver.

As cool as bluetooth is low power mid level range compact, all audio would have to be compressed. I am not 100% sure how you will like or not like that.

If you can handle 2 usb ports used, see if any of the logitech sets meet your needs(not bluetooth, but will be able to use a single receiver) and then you can find the best BT heaset you can find(or at least one you want to use with your phone if this does not pan out).

Sorry to say, I have never been big into wireless keyboard/mice since my MX 700/elite combo finally bit the dust. Everything I tried after was not that great.
