I've a Giration, the one with the 100foot range, not the 30fot one... It's batteries on average last for nearly 3 months, and that's only 2 double A's... There's
a small transceiver module which plugs into a USB port, and has a telescopic antenna, and an on/off bar parallel to, and underneath the antenna when
folded down. I've placed my antenna on the computer, and have used the thing all over my 1/4 acre property, even though the house is brick and has
burglar bars over all windows like a Faraday cage. (grin) In the studio, I've put velcro on the bottom of the keyboard, except for the batter compartment
door, and it sits on a plexiglass sheet cut to size, covered with velcro, with 4 countersunk screws holding the sheet onto two tom-tom shell mounts, which
are in turn mountes onto a short boom arm with gimbled clamp on one end, and two brackets on the arm at each end holding the L-rods... This assembly, in
turn, can be easily mounted on the bottom of a cymbal boom arm extending below the drum rack, or, on a small piece of (thin) rack pipe or a portion cut from
the lower part of a boom arm, or, snare stand Etc., which is in turn mounted to the vertical stantion of the rack with an "L" clamp such as those made by
Gibralter, the company who makes my rack, and most of the parts--theirs and DW's which make up my home built assemblies... The neat thing about this
assembly, is that it can be made to swing in and out of the way as needed, and held at any comfortable typing angle, yet the keyboard can be removed as
needed... I can run everything from my drum throne...

Shawn! I love my wireless keyboard, whether I'm using it for music or
anything else! Musically, I use it for the reasons you mentioned. My
configuration is such that I'd be dashing all over the place trying to
record things if I didn't have it. I bought a more expensive one a few
years back with all the fancy buttons, which can easily be reconfigured to
do whatever one wishes for them to do. But that's not why I wanted this
particular brand. It purported to have a long reach, and indeed I spent
countless hours using the wireless keyboard and a wireless headset upstairs
or outside while the server sat downstairs.

One thing to note: my wireless keyboard is a Logitech, and the software that
came with it places an unnecessary process into my task manager. It has to
do with making all those fancy buttons cooperate. So watch out for extra
goodies that might attempt to slip themselves in when all that's really
needed is the basic driver.

Satauna in Albany, thankful today for the blanket of snow that covered the
landscape this morning.  FINALLY!
