[access-uk] Re: Old chestnut: Wireless keyboard/mouse

Hi Andrew!

Have just bought a Logitech cordless keyboard and its working really well.  As 
Mark says the keys are all in the usual places.  Its got a much softer action 
than the cherry one which I had before this one, I changed because I sold it 
with my old desktop as it wouldn't work with my new desktop replacement 
notebook!  Cheers and happy xmas!

  Andrew,  

  Have used a logitech cordless keyboard for 4 years now.  it only works for 
about 8 to 10 feet from the machine but that is plenty for my use.  The key 
layout is identical to a standard keyboard.  Numpad, 6 pack and F keys are all 
the same.  Works perfectly well with Hal from v3.5 to 6.3 as now.  The 
batteries also seem to last about 12 months with constant daily use.  

  hth,

  Hi,

  Recently had a new machine package and got a wireless optical desktop from 
Microsoft.  I hated it for the following reasons:

  1.  F keys were on a different function, so one had to hold down function 
plus the f number you required.
  2.  Mouse had to have new batteries every so often.
  3.  Certain specific keys missing or bundled with other keys.

  Can anyone tell me if the Logitech ones are any better?

  Thanks,
  Andrew.
