    Cordless keyboard and mouse. Good or Bad?

    Do they work as good as corded ones from your experience? I have heard of in the past when they first came out, keystrokes were sometimes lost or the mouse movements in games like Quake were not as fast.


    Any opinions are welcome, good or bad

    Thanks

        any recommendations of a keyboard mouse set, or individual pieces that work well in your experience? IE: not cheap ones

                My cordless logitech keyboard and mouse works great. Never had a problem with it.

                Their new diNovo keyboard looks awesome.

                    Get the Logitech MX Duo or just the MX700 mouse...it has rechargable batteries and a cradle to recharge the mouse....

                    A full recharge takes about 6-8 hours and the batteries last 4-7 days..

                          i've got a cordless optical mouse that recharges in a holster but if you are working for long hours without a break the batteries go flat.

                            Do you play first person shooter games? The cordless stuff has a little latency that can suck.

                            They're great for regular work or slower action games... definately buy quality like Logitech or sumthin...

                              Definitely check out the MX Duo. I have it and it kicks ass.

                                  I bought a cordless Microsoft keyboard/optical mouse set for around $50 to use with my laptop when I'm at my desk. I've been using it for at least a month now, works like a dream and I haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

                                    Nice design, pity they don't do a natural keyboard version.

                                    Can't stand the older style keyboards, terrible for touch typers

                                        got 2 of the Logitech DiNovo keyboard & (bluetooth) w/ rechargeable mice coming tomorrow...

                                        to match my new dell 20" widescreen LCD's. They will compliment eachother nicely.

                                          I have been a fan of cordless mouses, but I hated my wireless keyboard. I think the only reason anyone should have a wireless keyboard is if they use their TV as a monitor.

                                              bluetooth mac keyboard is great - the 1 button mouse sucks - but the microsoft bluetooth mouse is also great!

                                                      I have a couple of the logitech ones and they run awesome , never miss a stroke.

                                                      The only odd thing is , the first one i bought the batteries last forever , on the newer one i bought they only last 1/3 the time, and they both do the exact same thing ?

                                                      Either way its a MUST HAVE item , especially if you have a laptop or do gaming.

                                                        Can't stand mine... the mouse never seem to work right... maybe I just need to get some new one?
