My MacBook Air tends to get all toasty when I use the computer, and it's very awkward to stare at a half-closed lid when using my spiffy new IPS monitor, so I went out and bought a Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard.

I'm still getting used to typing on a completely different style of keyboard - there's now some elevation on the keyboard, there's more travel, there's no space between keys, the Control key placement... Well, at least I have a lot of time to get used to it.

I know that Microsoft makes quality keyboards, and although this may not look like it, the keyboard actually feels nice. A bit on the expensive side, but Bluetooth keyboards are already a mark-up from its wired cousins, so I guess I have to live with it. It also feels great to finally have standard PC-specific keys functional without too much keyboard-combination magic.

I think this will also make my life with Windows 8 or newer easier if I ever move from Windows 7

Apparently, it has full-size keys. Just have to get used to the lack of space between keys and maybe I'll stop typo'ing all my text.

Pictures for those interested:

Never been a fan of wireless keyboards or wireless mice. It's not necessarily the delayed response time (although that is a factor seeing as I do use my computer for gaming), it's more of dealing with the batteries going out at the worst times. Although, I can see where it would be more helpful to have a wireless keyboard/mouse compared to a wired one, something like my brother's computer and monitor setup where the couch he sits on is a bit too far away from his computer to have a wired keyboard and mouse to reach.

I use a wireless keyboard for my computer, and I gotta say it's pretty great. Switching to a wired keyboard would feel too awkward for me, including mouse, because I like to move it around a lot. And the way my computer is placed, I wouldn't have much space to move it at all. I do have to say, it does have issues like skipping over large amounts of letters and sometimes keys refuse to work until I restart, bit it's still reliable. The mouse however... well, this is about keyboards.

I think I'm going to try pairing my Wedge Mobile Keyboard with the tablet that I just got. The soft leopard... I mean, keyboard's too finicky to work with. Hmm...

I have a wireless keyboard and I don't have any problems and I am a gamer.It is a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 that's what it says on the back.

I strongly prefer wired keyboards and mice, not only for the aforementioned response time, but they are a heck of a lot more reliable. Oh, and you don't need to replace the batteries in them.

However, I have a Logitech wireless keyboard with a built-in touchpad that is very convenient for a portable desktop recording center. As I barely use it and have to deal with wires each time it moves, the compact and wireless design makes it ideal.
