        First off I assume you have the parallel port model. Logitech sells a
cable, however you can get you're own. You'll need two cables, the keyboard
extension and a parallel port extension. The maximum TOTAL length is about
10ft, since the Logitech cable is I think 2ft long an 8ft extension would be
the OFFICIAL maximum. Note though that you might be able to go farther,
probably at reduced speed.
        If it is a USB model then I'm not sure of the max length, I believe it is
around the same amount, 10ft. TTYL
