Wireless keyboard/mouse

Postby KaiineTN » Fri Nov 10, 2006 12:10 am

Is it normal for them to skip and not pick up signals occasionally? It seems like I can't even type a paragraph without having "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" appear suddenly for no reason, or having it end up not picking up some of what I'm typing. The mouse can be sort of sporadic as well.

A long time ago, I got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. the mouse ate batteries crazy fast and the keyboard got that way after awhile. Then it started sticking like yours. Thats when I unleashed the fists of fury on it. not y roudest moment, but smashing it was so satisfying at the time.

Yeah, those things suck batteries like there's no tomorrow.

i was having lots of those probs kainne. Bought a wireless kb/mouse combo, hooked one of the comps up to the hdtv, and play wow from the couch :hiphop:

I found that, at least with the microsoft version, the distance is very short and picky. I moved the transceiver out as far as possible, and up to on top of the case, so that it gets a clear view of the room/couch with no obstructions. Working better now.
You were right Tikker. We suck.

If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse and its not Logitech, your cheating yourself. Some of the wireless high end Logi mouses have better DPI then the wired.

But I agree, for serious quickness and reliability a wired Logitech razor is the way to go.

I use a wireless mouse. I love it. It has a stand that I just set the mouse on and it recharges the battery. It lasts for about 10 hours of playing time. Also the most comfortable I've ever used.

I'll never go back to a wired mouse again.

I had a Logitech board that would do that when the batteries got down. However the rest of the time it was pwn, until one day it just quit working.
