Years ago I avoided wireless keyboards and mice because they were notoriously unreliable. But the technology has improved, and I've been using a wireless mouse for several years without problems. There's more of an advantage to wireless with mice than with keyboards, given that the mouse "tail" tends to get in the way when you are using it. But at times a wireless keyboard could be useful too. The reviews I've read lately show that some wireless keyboards are still exhibiting reliability problems, but the broader issue apparently is a slight delay they introduce, which supposedly is bad for gaming. The benefit to wireless doesn't seem worth the bother - at least not for a work desktop - so I'm only considering wired models. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
