Hi.
It depends what you want. If you're looking for a short-range
solution (about 25-35 feet), get one of the Logitech or other boards
available in the mainstream. Make sure the board uses RF (radio frequency),
rather than IR (infra-red) energy to transmit its signal, and you should be
able to get one quite easily. There's no need to install the software for
most of the boards available from computer stores if you don't want it, and
some people have said that this software doesn't work well with Jaws, so I
wouldn't recommend installing it.
If you need a longer-range solution, Gyration
http://www.gyration.com
This offers about 140-170 feet (this is my experience, the
manufacturer says 100 feet). I haven't been able to take it out of range in
this house. The range is reasonably good. It doesn't come with software at
all. It does, however, have one drawback, in that you have to use the laptop
layout on your screen reader. It has no number pad.
