Anybody have a cordless keyboard? Like it?
I've already killed one keyboard due to my unmatched ability to wind the cord around and around and around and my boundless laziness as regards unwinding it. I imagine I'd have to change the computer setup markedly to get a cordless so that the doohickey would be pointed at the other doohickey, but I don't know much about them; maybe they're doohickey-free. Anyone like to share their experiences?

1. My wife had one..
She had the Microsoft cordless keyboard and mouse; it conked out on her about a year after she bought it. It was ok, but I never really liked using it much..

2. Love it.
Our cordless keyboard and mouse are the best thing that's happened to my work experience since the cable modem.

3. I love mine
I like my cordless mouse better, but I like the freedom and the tidiness.

4. I mostly dislike it
At least mine, a fairly cheap logitech, requires new batteries every few weeks, and as far as cordless goes there is a cord to the device that sends and receives signals from the cordless keyboard and mouse. The other thing I find is that the keyboard is always sliding further and further toward my monitor. If you buy one, buy a good one. Mine cost $35. If I buy another, I'll do some market research and probably spend more money.

5. I love mine too
I assume they all come with the wireless mouses (mice?) too (shows how much I know) but I love my wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. They just have a little mouse-like thing that I think plugs into your USB and you sit that back by your monitor, and that's the doohickey that lets the keyboard and mouse work. ;)
