I had a bad experience with a wireless mouse once and have not used one since but I really liked it before it quit working. I also had a wireless keyboard at one time I liked but nothing so far has ever beat the ergonomic keyboard I use now that I bought OMG about 15 years ago? from Microsoft, it costs me about $60.00 or so back then. It does not hurt my wrists at all, took some time learning to type on it at first but got it down fast as I was a medical transcriptionist back then. I think I have decided to wait on a laptop for now and get the more powerful desktop I will need for all of my upcoming multimedia endeavors. Perhaps later when I have some extra $$, will also get a less expensive laptop for some travel use.
