Do you have a wireless keyboard? Support Apolyton

If you do, what do you do when you can't find any batteries?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

not on my own machine but right now I'm using one

sometimes it interfers with this wireless mouse and then I can't do combi-moves as in shift-click.

I've never felt the need for a wireless keyboard, the keyboards' never far enough away from the base unit for wire to become an issue

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I have had a wireless mouse for about 4-5 years, and a wireless keyboard for about 2 years... and will never (if avoidable) change back to normal keyboard/mouse. Whenever I see a movie from my PC in the TV, it's easy to take my keyboard with me, so I don't have to "run" to the other side of the living room just to pause the movie... (Yeah, I'm the lazy kind-a-guy )

You never let that happen... always have a couple of extra batteries nearby...

...wait, you're talking about keyboard, not mouse? I have only once changed the batteries in my keyboard (About a year ago), and this wasn't because the batteries were out of energy... we just needed some batteries to something else... And this computer is running >10h a day...

A friend of mine also bought a wireless mouse, but he didn't know how to install it, so he never used it, before I came by to fix it for him... the funny thing is: It's a USB mouse, and he used WinXP (Which means it installs itself)... he just forgot to add batteries to the mouse

ADG, . I bought a new computer.. maybe 6 months ago?
So I got this wireless keyaboayd and mouse too, because they looked cool and I was thinking what the hell since I'm spending all this money, an extra hundred won't even show.

I got back home and I was excited, and in hurry to assemble and build the thing, so I just plugged my old keyboard and mouse right in so I could try it out. And that's the way my computer is now . I know it would only take me 2 minutes to put them working.. but since I haven't done it already, it's kind of a big obstacle to me

I have a wireless keyboard. The silly thing is, its sitting in front of my monitor as though it were a wired keyboard and I hardly ever move it from there.

I have a bunch of spare rechargable batteries, if the ones in the keyboard die, I just replace them and put the old ones on recharge so they are ready when the new ones die.

I use them - with network cable and peripheral crap all over, it's a pain to have even more cables.

I just keep rechargeable batteries and a charger around.

Suffering from ads?

Wireless Keyboard: Thinking about it, put what's the point. I'd probably have the same story as Skanky.

Wireless Mouse: Have had one for over a year now. Windows IntelliMouse Explorer and I love it. That coupled with rechargable batteries makes it very convenient for me.
