Re: [hardware] [H] What wireless keyboard NOT to get

must admit I haven't noticed any of those probs. I've 2 MS KB combos in close proximity to each other and so far no issues.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Weeden To: hwg Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 1:25 PM Subject: [hardware] [H] What wireless keyboard NOT to get A little while back I emailed the list asking for suggestions on a wireless keyboard. I went with the following MS keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16823109146 My official review is that it sucks big hairy balls.  Very noticeable lag when typing and normal surfing.  It becomes almost unbearable trying to game with it.  Using the arrow keys half the time results in a "stuck" key until you press another key to "unstick" it.  It sometimes decides to not notice a key was pressed at all. Maybe I am just in some sort of a high interference environment.  I'm not really sure since it is your standard basement with a wireless router at the other end of the room and one 2.4 GHz phone upstairs. The really crappy thing is that without some expensive equipment it is pretty hard to pin down exactly how much EMI you have in your home, what frequencies it affects, and the sources. Any other suggestions for a wireless keyboard?  Or am I pretty much screwed and should go back to wired (ugh). -- Brian
