Same here - no problems either!! I have been using a Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard for more than two or three years now, with FrameMaker and Word and Excel, etc., with fine results. The wireless receiver is USB connected and also handles the Microsoft wireless mouse.
The only time I have had a problem (albeit not with FrameMaker or applications) is because I use a laptop at my desk with a 24" wide-screen LCD display. Since the laptop is in a docking station, I have its lid closed. So, in Windows, if I have a startup problem during the boot and I need the keyboard to intercept the boot, the keyboard is not yet "available". I have to undock, pull my laptop out of the dock, raise its lid, then boot and use the keyboard on the laptop. This situation is rare enough not to be an issue, and also not an issue with an application program. Once Windows is running, the wireless keyboard works well all the time. The other reason I like this particular wireless keyboard (and Microsoft does offer wired ones of the same type) is because of the mapped function keys: F2=Undo, F3=Redo, F4=New, F5=Open, F6=Close ... F11=Save, F12=Print, etc. Thus, when the applications are consistent with those mappings, using the function keys becomes very useful!
