Carol,
I have used a couple of Logitech wireless keyboards. Note that Logitech ends
with ch not a k, as it was spelled in another message. I'm not familiar with
their newest keyboards. My newest one is 5 years old, and the other one is 9
years old. Both still work fine, and since they can be set to different
channels, they don't interfere when I use them on different computers. Looking
on their web site, I notice that they also have number pads, but I don't have
any experience with them.
I agree with the other lister that suggested a cordless headset. In addition
to being able to work further away from her computer, she may not want others
to hear JAWS speech. You might also check out the Logitech offerings for this
type of headset.

Subject: working at a distance from laptop - wireless numpad
Hello,
I'm looking to source a wireless numpad and keyboard (or something better)
for a student who uses JAWS. She is doing a postgraduate diploma in law which
focuses largely on practice. She wants to be able to work at a distance from
her laptop, as she will be involved in interviewing and presentations. She
would like to be able to review prepared materials whilst working in this mode.
Numpad: I was thinking that a single document could be navigated by Numpad
and so a document of prepared notes could be managed in this way. Does anyone
know of a good wireless NumPad for JAWS users. Must have INS key and allow
keystroke combinations.
Keyboard: Does anyone know of a good wireless keyboard for JAWS users. Should
have Function keys available without need to use Fn switch.
Anyone know of anything better?
Carol
