| This didn't work so well. |
I'll be returning that wireless keyboard tomorrow. It didn't take but two days for it to become nearly unresponsive. At first, everything was going smoothly; maybe it would miss a keystroke now and then, but hey! It's wireless! And maybe it's just me, you know? Or the program I'm using was eating some cycles or something, let's give it the benefit of the doubt! But then yesterday, and even more so today, I started losing keystrokes left and right. I couldn't even type, because I was having to back up after every half-word and insert a letter that was missed, and I could hardly do that because it was missing the arrow keystrokes! After getting fed up, I tested the "maybe-it's-the-program" angle, but it wasn't—the built-in keyboard worked just fine! Whatever the problem was, it shouldn't have been a problem. After all, I'm able to get wireless internet from across the house, through walls—4 ft. should
not be a problem for a keyboard!
But hey, the mouse that came with it worked just fine.
That's really weird. I've been using wireless keyboards and mice with BOTH my desktop AND my laptop for nearly 10 years now, and other than when the batteries die after months of use, I never have a dropped keystroke. I often use my laptop keyboard about 10ft from the receiver.
