RE: Wireless keyboard suggestions



I have a couple of Microsoft bluetooth keyboards, which
works kinda well.

There are some problems with them:

It's not really bluetooth, more a MS-Bluetooth meaning that
it doesn't work with anything else. I haven't tried this much
myself but the return ratio on these was very high when they
came due to this fact.

It seems like the keyboard can loose contact with
the computer sometimes and when that happens its a pain to
get them talking again.

They do eat a lot more batteries than the Logitech RF-keyboards
that I use and it requieres Windows XP.

Apart from that it does work over the entire house and is giving me
a lot more freedom than the 1 - 1.5 meters Logitech could provide.

But you couldn't call it lightweight.

Subject: [ukha_d] Wireless keyboard suggestions


I'm looking for a wireless keyboard with a good range (to work all over the
house). I'd like quite a compact lightweight one as well, the smaller the
better. Any suggestions?
