I'm surprised that 10 metres is too far for a wireless mouse. My computer
came with a device about the size of a TV remote control which is a mouse
with special buttons for controlling the software that came with the
graphics card (ATI All in Wonder 8500). This works at about 15 metres
through several walls and a floor: I can control my PC (upstairs, other end
of house) from my living room: useful if I want to watch a DVD on my TV
downstairs (but I need a long length of coax to feed the video signal!).
Maybe you investigate whether a similar product is available on its own (ie
not bundled with a graphics card).
Alternatively, maybe there's a solution available which uses infra-red
signals like a TV remote does - as long as you've got line of sight between
the remote and the receiver on the computer.
