Wireless vs USB keyboard - comments?

Would this be any help to you? Converts 2 PS/2 devices (Keyboard & Mouse) to 1 USB port. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. I would not go back to wired. In the year and a half I had them I had to replace the batteries in the mouse once and not in the keyboard yet.

 

I have the Intel Wireless series keyboard, mouse and gamepad. The only part I use is the keyboard since I have a PS2/USB mouse.

The keyboard works flawlessly and there is no noticeable lag between key press and the characters dispalying on the screen. Battery life is excellent. Like Russ, I use my wireless keyboard constantly and have only replaced the batteries once in the last year.

It's one less cord to get in the way and I can stand ten feet back from my monitor and still type.

My keyboard works in the BIOS and outside of Windows without issue. The Intel set I have is no longer manufactured and is a few years old. I expect the reliability and stability of wireless keyboards has improved since I obtained mine.

I expect all of the wirless keyboard will have a receiver that hooks to the computer through a USB port. So I guess it comes down to which type of USB keyboard is more convenient - wired or wireless?

Cheers,

ICE

 

Wireless is the way to go.

I've been using Logitech's wireless mouse and keyboard, and the only difference between them and my old wired set is the noticeable absence of the wires. I wouldn't go back!
