[chaganlal1]

I heard about the wireless mouse and keyboard and am thinking of buying one but i heard they dont work at times and are too slow etc. before i spend out about 40 dollars on each any of you got experience? or any problems?

I am using the microsoft desktop elite set (I paid$85 for it)

It works great. Battery life is dependent on the brand you get as well as your surfing habits.

I type like a mad man. I have had to chnge the betteries in the mouse twice, but have not had to change the keyboard batteries yet. (I have had the set almost a year)

The range is great too. Again the key board is better. But I can use the media funtion keys from across the office, which is nice for when I was watching movies and such

 

[chaganlal1]

Yeah i was thinkin of buying the same. A set would be better then buying 2 different types. I am thinkin of goin to best buy and getting some kind of warranty, if they offer any.

Logitech's work great, as some have mentioned, I have used them in the past.

On this computer, my main one, I am using an 8 year old wired mouse (intellimouse 1.1A) that has had virtually NO problems whatsoever, though. I'm not sure if a wireless one could take that long before having problems. This mouse even works great for FPS games, it has no lag time or anything.

well ive got a bluetooth cordless mouse and keyboard its great but it did cost a bit and i have had to change the mouses batteries a few times but other than that i loove it.
i also you these for my laptop

 

[chaganlal1]

Wait how long do the batteries last for wireless mouse keykoard?

 

[MicrotechXP]

Yes they are good. They are good becasue they are wirless no more wires and they do not freeze up on you unless you go to a certain feet in the range.. also I have one and I type a lot and I have changed the battery in my mouse 2 times but on my keyboard 0. I would reccomend you get eaither Logitech or Microsoft those are 2 best.

For my Microsoft board about a year (just got my first low battery alert... which means I have another month

 

[chaganlal1]

Wow another month on batteries i would think they would run out.

they might, I will let you know in a month :grin:

go for logitech the are well know for their mouse and keyboard.

Buy rechargeable batteries so you dun need to keep buying batteries just have 4 rechargeable batteries and another 4 rechargeable batteries on reserved which are already charge.

use the latest rechargeable batteries, I think is 2500( some wording at the back I cannot remember it) that allows you to charge within 1 to 2 hours, that's fast isn't it and may last you for 1 to 2 months before you need to recharge again.

Nowadays, wireless technology has come very far, and there isn't any lag (with semi-new equipment) of mice and keyboards. I would suggest getting Logitech stuff, because I have had two sets of wireless combos from them (one top-of-the-line and one bottom-of-theline) and they both are very good.

I currently have the MX3100 Combo from Logitech, which comes with the MX1000 Laser Mouse and the MX3000 Keyboard. They are really amazing, however, it costs ~$120.

I also would suggest getting a mouse that uses Fast RF technology, because it is extremely fast and is (in the MX1000's case) the same as a USB corded mouse.

(Oh, and the MX1000 doesn't require batteries, it charges at a base station which is really nice. And, the keyboard batteries pretty much never run out.)

 

[chaganlal1]

Yeah logitech is nice brand i got mine ordered for 100 instead of 120 with tak and everything.

Wow another month on batteries i would think they would run out.

they might, I will let you know in a month :grin:

Wow... how weird is that right on the button

Well its been a month and I still have not changed the batteries in my keyboard
