Has anyone tried a wireless keyboard or mouse? Do they work better? worse?
Thanks

I use both and have no problems with either. You changed your batteries only once Sandpiper??? LOL. I have to change mine once a week! LOL. Must be all that painting...

Do remember that wireless units take up more CPU power than hardwired. Not much but they do. And they do offer more tricks and toys over the standard fare. Kinda nice to lean back in the couch and type away...

Heh, I use the "indestructable keyboard", when it gets messy, I just take her to the sink and wash it down, then I'm ready to go.

Well, until they can come up with a nuclear powered version, it probably wouldnt work out because you'd have to be able to change batteries or risk them being a throw-away with a permanently sealed battery access. Isnt there wireless USB hubs that could serve a similar purpose? You would have the cord to the keyboard but could still move away from the system.
