Just wanted to get some generall thought or experiences here:

I was looking into a wiereless keyboard specificall this one
Most of the time i would be using the computer that this keyboard goes on to play games, and i would keep my logitech i feel optical mouse (usb) instead of using the cordless one.

My question is this, has anybody used a wireless keyboard for gaming, or heard anything, it is slow or unresponsive, and how does it compare to a usb or ps2 connection,

as always any input is greatly appreciated,

thanks
will
 
I am using the Logitech Cordless Freedom Optical kb / mouse combo to write this. The combo works well for the office. Games? Hmm, maybe a bit slow - bit biggest concern is (now very) occassional dropping of link - if you're playing a game, boom - yer dead.

Less drop outs now that I understand that receiver placement is critical - it can get interference from other electronics. I made similar comments on my Epinions review of the unit.

So, for games? Maybe not. But like my bottom line says... Your mileage may vary...
 
thats what i figured , just wanted a 2nd opinion,

I have the same keyboard and i havent had a problem with it but i hate having to change the batteries in my mouse it tends to run threw them at least once a month.
 
I played PC games with a Logitech cordless radio keyboard. I have not experienced any problems with any of the games that I play. If there is any slow-down it is not really that noticable and as for connection drops I have not experienced any.
 
ok cool, im going to do a little more research on it firs though

thanks
