>> Are the wireless keyboard and mouse a hindrance? I have a wireless keyboard on an HP laptop. It's comfortable to use, and beats the heck of the built-in laptop keyboard. I don't use the wireless mouse because I much prefer trackballs. There's no scrolling off the mouse pad and having to lift and pull back the mouse to continue tracking. Just move your thumb.
My wife has a Microsoft Wireless keyboard on her computer. I hated that one because it automatically reassigns all the function keys to default to the functions in Microsoft programs. If you want to use the normal O/S functions of those keys-- F1 for help, F2 for rename, etc.-- you have to first press a toggle key. Sheesh! I found a program on the internet to reverse that, though. I have to say, though, that my favorite keyboard in the world is the 104-key Unicomp Customizer. It's the same as the original IBM 101-key keyboards that won so many awards and rave reviews (but updated to have the Windows keys in the bottom row). It's a real keyboard, too-- not a plastic toy. It weighs about three times as much as the keyboards that come with computers these days, and the keycaps are double-injected. That means that the characters are molded into them-- not painted on or applied as decals like all the keyboards you normally see. The only way to make the letters and numbers wear off of this keyboard is to wear a hole right through the whole keycap! The audio/tactile feedback is the best there is. This keyboard is PS/2, not wireless. But that means that you can use it to do everything. Those USB keyboards (which probably includes all wireless keyboards), don't often work for accessing the BIOS or other startup functions, because the USB drivers haven't loaded yet.
