you will get an infra red transmitter for devices, and must ensure a realtively good path (line of sight) between the transmitter and associated devices
you may want to look into bluetooth, which has a much larger range than infra red
I don't use a wireless keyboard but I do have a wireless mouse. Its a Logitech Mx700. This mouse was one the best purchases I have ever made. Its rechargable and the trasmitter base serves as the charger. The range is excellent. I can use it from across the room when I watch dvd's. You should look into it.
Fuck infrared devices. There virtually obsolete. Most companies sell RF(radio frequency, analog) devices. They use batteries.
Both my keyboard and mice ar RF. The batteries last me more than a year and I can control my PC from my bed for watching movies.
I've never seen bluetooth(a digital wireless standard) mice or keyboards(for PCs) and even doubt their existence.
keyboard and mice batterice last up to one year really?? Its something i want to know be-4 i decide to get it, cause i dont want no battery gusher :(Quote:

krome that's been my experience. I'm sure it will vary by use though but I do use my PC daily.
I think the new rechargeable, optical mouse is the way to go these days.
Ive Got The Cordless Logitech Desktop Deluxe
Ive Had It About 5 months
The Mouse Batteries Have Gone Flat About Twice So I Bought Some Hi Power Ones Aint They Failed On Me Yet,
The Keyboard Has Yet To Have Gone Flat which is pretty good for 5 months. still using the batteries provided in that

I have the microsoft wireless mouse. The only thing I don't like about it is that the fucker eats up batteries like no tomorrow, I'm not sure if it's the batteries or the mouse. Other than that I like it. ;)

Like we need more of that on this board.
the Logitech mx 700 mouse is superior to all wiresless mouse technology. I had one for a month or so, and its amazing. Theres no "lag/delay", its responsive, and acts just like the highly regarded gaming mouse, the mx500. The only reason i switched, was the 700 with its batteries, was just a bit too heavy for hours and hours of gaming. Other then that, it deserves praise.
my mum brought my a wirlesss keyboard and mouse set back one day, but it didnt fit, still have old keyboard connector, at, not ps2, so i gave it to my girlfriend, and her batteries die pretty quick, or the mouse ones anyway, you may wanna look for one that has rechargeable batteries and charge on transmitter. may cost more, but will save a lot on batteries.
Then if you don't know what you are talking about...Quote:
