I used to have a logitech 310 that did all that but lost in home fire and cant find another here in canada but their 810 is suppose to be similar but haven't got one to be sure of it. But you might want to check out the www.Logitech.com site online. If nothing else it might give you some ideas of what to look for more specifically. I was told if I used extentions that they would not work but I tried it anyway and had no problems with using extentions and actually bought all but one from a dollar type store. Hope this might be of some help. I have noticed the price of them has tripled though.
