best wireless keyboard?

Post by **o'dium** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:21 pm

I've always stuck with logitech when it comes to keyboards but now i really wouldn't mind getting a wireless one. I would love a light up one but i doubt thats gonna help when i want to sit on my bed, heh.

Anyways, anybody have any recomendations? Logitech dont do wireless keyboards by themselves do they

I already have an mx700 see

NONE.
Everything wireless is crap for gaming.... and what bothers me the most is that logitec makes a laser mouse with pinpoint accuracy and make it cordless :lol: what were they thinking!? :lol:

Do you honestly think that? You mean, some kind of delay? I cant sense any delay on my mx700, its perfect

Guess i only tried shitty mouses/keyboards from logitec then.. there is always an delay if you compare it to one with cord, you might not notice it at first.. but once the reciver/batteries starts to fade your shit out of luck in those fast games.

I hate cordless. They are heavy as fuck and need batteries. What's the fucking point?

So there is a little lead on my desk. Woahhh.

Cordless is for n00bs.

the MS bluetooth is pretty sweet.

i had one of the logitech bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse combos for a while. it was all right, i guess. i hate the fact that, in order to conserve battery power, there are no lights for caps lock, scroll lock, num lock.

i took it back and now use an Apple Pro keyboard (wired) along with a Logitech MX1000 Laser. i don't experience any of those delays that you're speaking of while gaming.

the only trouble i have while gaming is inherent to my graphics card / display combination. 6800gt with a 23" cinema display. i can't run any games at 16:10 without doing 1920x1200 resolution. that really blows if the games i'm playing are very intense. i get ~30 fps with counter-strike: source like this.

in a 4:3 video mode it won't just black box the sides and render in the middle?

Logitech makes wireless keyboards, I'm postive I've seen one. I think I might have even won one last year and gave it away. (not because it was bad, I never used it I just gave it as a gift to a friend)

As far as wireless keyboards, id keep wired imo.. if i could find one that has a charging station, id prolly get one, but until then im keeping wired.. sadly id really like wireless because i put my keyboard in my lap..

I have the Cordless MX700 Duo since Xmas. I have to charge the mouse every few days or so on the base station, but with the keyboard, I'm still on the original alkaline batteries and still going strong.

I'm quite impressed with the keyboard and its battery life.

I'm going on around 2 years with my MX700 and still performing flawlessly

Truth, I got a Logitch Cordless Freedom keyboard/mouse combo and I couldn't stand it for gaming. I gave it to my mom now, so I'm using my old white corded keyboard and an mx500 \o/

You can't notice a delay, I didn't even notice any with my shitty cordless Mouseman Optical! The biggest sign that your mouse sucks is your score and you accuracy. I couldn't hit rails with the optical mouse, but when I got my mx500 I started hitting with a 50%+ accuracy. If your accuracy sucks, consider trying a good mouse and see if it improves it.

The radition emited from wireless keyboard and mice could fry your brain.

True story.

I have the Logitech LX300 combo... just for the keyboard though. There's noticeable lag, but it doesn't affect gameplay. It's just kind of annoying if you type fast.

Battery life is as good as my Intellimouse.. lasts a few monthes before the batteries need to be replaced.

sure, you get used to it like you do high pings. how that doesn't affect gameplay is beyond me.
