Pick a Wireless Keyboard ?

LE0O37 · 06-26-2007, 09:21 AM

I'm looking to buy a CHEAP wireless keyboard + mouse

Pick one of the ones below.
I have rechargable batteries so I don't mind them being hogs.

If you find a better one post me the link, please.

Prices include shipping

Don't focus on the price, $10 more or less is the same thing to me.
Just click on the links, and judge them by the details.

Thanks

First one, just for the looks =P I have seen PS2 keyboards these days with phones attached to them

if you are planning to game, dont go wireless becuase you will definitely notice the lag (i did :/) but if it is just for everyday use i like the first one best

Theres also a Rosewell that I like, but they got terrible reviews.
So do these above, but it seems like none of these cheap ones work perfect. I will be happy with it either way.

Thanks guys

I got a question relating these wireless keyboards.

My computer is on all day and sometimes even overnight.

Even if the keyboard + Mouse is not being used, do the batteries get wasted even when idle and when mouse and keyboard are not being used but the computer is on ?

thanks

Yes they get wasted, they have to keep a wireless connection.

I'm not sure if I want a wireless combo anymore........
I've heard too many negative things about them....
I wanted to buy it alone with the KVM switch that I needed at the same time.
I'm now rethinking to just put the keyboard on hold.

I do own rechargable batteries, every type.
But it does seem complicated to have to charge them every night.

Let me think about it.

Although the mouse wastes the most battery, and the first combo has the rechargable mouse that is simple to charge.
I heard the keyboard doesn't waste much batteries.

I'll give it a thought and I'll be back soon enough
Thanks
Peace

You do not have to charge them every night.
I have a logitech keyboard and I am very happy with it. It has got play control buttons and very nice. I change the batteries every 2,5 - 3 months. But I have to change the batteries every months.
I have just bought a wireless keyboard because I use Windows media center and it is connected to the TV in the living rooms via a s-video cable.
