Wireless keyboard and mouse? - MamaBear

Posted: Nov 09, 2010

Does anyone else feel more comfortable with a wireless set up? What keyboard and mouse do you have?

I do. - Lane

I have a logitech keyboard and mouse and they're both wireless. It's much easier then having the cord to deal with.

I do as well. - I just use the cheapest Microsoft wireless desktop

It has worked really well for me for 2+ years although some of the letters are wearing off the keys and my "n" key broke, but I was able to replace it with a key from another Microsoft keyboard I had.

I'm the opposite of most people. I like the corded set up. - Happy MT Robin

I've had several different Logitech wireless keyboards and mice of varying styles or models and was frustrated beyond belief. I don't know if it's my set up or what, but the mouse and/or keyboard would go into sleeper mode if I didn't use it for however many seconds or minutes and it took forever to get it to wake up sometimes. I could never figure out how to change that.

I went back to the corded models. I have a cheap Logitech keyboard that costs less than $20 to replace when I wear it out and my last mouse was less than $10 and I don't have to worry about keeping batteries around.

I tried wireless, but - orthogirl

I type directly into the office's system through a VPN connection. I found that the lag time for the wireless keyboard was constantly leaving letters out or even missing words. When I would slow down, it was fine but then I was typing too slow to make good money. I use a keyboard with a wire and a mouse with a wire. It is getting harder to find the keyboards that are not wireless these days.

use both plus wireless headset - dls

i have a rocketfish RF-WHP01. i picked it up at best buy for about 80 bucks. loveloveloveloveit. i did not think i would like it becz it has the big old-fashioned ear "buns", but it is so lightweight. it takes a little finessing sometimes to get it into the charger correctly (but i am not the most patient person). give it a shot - your life will change!!!

I am just wondering if any of you are using a wireless mouse and how they are working for you? I currently use a wired mouse and have for centuries. Since I use mine more than most people, it seems, they do not last. I am having difficulty finding wired mouse any longer due to being outdated. I am hesitant in getting a wireless because wireless tends to slow me down with a second of lag. Those seconds add up and I am just wondering how beneficial they are. Any ...

Does anyone have a preference for a wireless keyboard? I'm looking for pros and cons. I bought a Logitech K360 but it's too compact for me. I need the bigger keys like my old keyboard. Is the wireless keyboard and mouse a better deal than just the keyboard? I already have a wireless mouse. Or would it be best to replace both? Thanks for your opinons. ...

On Enterprise Voice Recognition, are you a "mouser" or keyboarder? I have tried and tried to use the keyboard, but just can't get it down. I have been using a mouse so long, it is a hard habit to break. Anyone have any ideas? Need to bring my speed up on Voice. ...

I know we are pressured to use only the keyboard--I guess bc it may be faster...not sure about that...but I just can't get used to that. I'm faster using the mouse, especially when navigating around a speech wreck report. Anyone else like this? Do they really care how we get it done? Has anyone ever gotten dinged by using the mouse too much instead of keyboard commands? I am sure they can tell exactly what we do on the keyboard. ...

Has anybody experienced Logitech S530 wireless keyboard wearing out after about 6 months of heavy use? Mine is skipping spaces and letters. It is very frustrating. I have ordered a new one, but wonder if this is the norm for them. I have changed batteries 3 times in 6 months. I really am having second thoughts about continuing with it. ...

I know as long as I have done this type of work not me but unusual and wondering if any others noticed such. I can be working on VR and try to go and make a correction, be on the line where I want to enter something and yet when I do the correction will wind up 2 or 3 lines above. This drives me nuts! I don't know if mouse, keyboard but have used both for sometime now. Any suggestions? ...

Hello, I have an HP Pavilion laptop. I'm having issues with my foot pedal and keyboard/mouse. I connect my foot pedal directly to USB port on laptop. I connect keyboard/mouse and headphones to USB HUB port. I continually lose foot pedal control. When I disconnect the keyboard/mouse, the pedal works again. Could this be a memory or hard drive issue (not enough). Do I need to externally add something to this laptop (just bought the laptop 3 months ago). Any advice or assistance would be ap ...

Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar). Thanks! ...

I just got my second DEP ASR Productivity Results. If the person that has time to count mouse clicks, time spent away from keyboard, etc is reading this, then answer this, why don't you take into account time spent reading multiple client profiles, time spent reading sample reports to get information, etc? Do you not expect us to leave our chairs occasionally? I personally am more suited to using my mouse. A lot of the shortcuts just didn't work as well for me.& ...

I guess I am truly stupid. The numbers mean nothing to me. On my report they are gauged against nothing -- just with a goal to "improve." My lines were 197 per hour (which is incorrect and too high) and I guess my "corrected" number if I was worth my salt and editing properly is 297. Most confusing document they have sent me thus far. I would be angrier probably IF I COULD UNDERSTAND IT. ...

I got an email giving all the figures of how many keystrokes I had during a certain period of time (can't remember when for sure) and inactive time in an ASR job, etc. Do many of you only use the keyboard and not the mouse? I've tried to learn all the keyboard functions and for me it's a lot easier to use the mouse and I don't think that has slowed me down any. They're not telling me not to use the mouse but instead showing how many more keystrokes ...

I know the "push" is to use the shortcuts but it takes me twice as long to remove my hands from the keyboard to reach the arrow keys and alt+shift or ctrl+shift than to just click where I want to go with the mouse. I was just wondering if it's worth it to retrain myself to use those particular shortcuts. I tried creating my own but they will not work in our system. The other ones we have are fine but the cursor ones stink. ...

I'm looking for a company that leaves you alone if you choose to use the mouse and foot pedal instead of keystrokes. My experience with eScription was horrible, in that I was constantly getting little messages saying "This is how often you used the mouse," demanding that I use the keystrokes. Is every V.R. platform like this? ...

Does anyone have or know of where to get wireless headphones. My cat has chewed through the wires of 3 sets of headphones (at $18 each its getting expensive). After the first 2 sets I have been putting them in a drawer when not in use, but the cord sticks out of the drawer attached to the computer and she found her way around the box while I was watching TV and now my third set is gone. Within seconds she chews right through the cord. So, since there are wireless keyboard ...
