Will using a wireless keyboard cause any click, pops or dropouts?
Anyone here use a wireless keyboard with their Sonar DAW setup? Are there any issues you had with it interfering with your recording or playback? I read that it's recommended to turn off the wireless networking but does that also apply to other wireless devices, like bluetooth or a wireless keyboard?

I had a wireless mouse that you could "hear" in the headphones when you moved it around. So I set up a blank track ,cranked the input volume and recorded the "silence" while moving the mouse. It did not show in the track. So my deduction was the interference was leaking into the output only and not the input.I just hooked a Keyboard/Mouse combo unit to my DAW and I cannot hear anything in the phones. I think it might be important to have your interface on a seperate USB buss from the mouse dongle.

For quite some time I predominantly used a wireless keyboard/touchpad combo with no crackling issues. I did used to get disconnection issues but I think that was flakey drivers for the keyboard as an update seemed to have cured it.
I still have it attached over near my keyboards so I can control Sonar from there. No issues with it interfering with sound quality/playback etc.

It's possible. An interrupt conflict, for example, can certainly cause dropouts (clicks, pops) during recording and playback.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I use wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, LAN, wireless MIDI controller and keep my phone connected to USB. No glitches, pops, noises or dropouts other than the normal ones that happen in any setup. Your results may vary...

I have a USB wireless mouse and keyboard, no problems.
I have a bluteooth mouse no problems.
All the reported problems are picklewater and fairydust now day's. As soon as I can afford it I am moving to a whole bluetooth system.
Oh one problem you do get some dropouts with the bluetooth mouse. You get no problems with Sonar, the mouse sometimes just stop working. It's a battery thing, the batteries have to be kept at maxiumum, so I suggest rechagables.
Normally I agree with Bitflipper but I have never had the bluescreen of death when using any of my wireless devices and this is when I have had the USB wireless keyboard, the blutooth mouse, the internet connected and using a wireless android controller. All of at once, and I am recording and mixing at the same time.
Any questions ask, I will do my best to answer your questions, I can be a little confusing sometimes.
But no problems here.

I've been using a wireless keyboard/mouse for years, no problems here. Since Win7 I've even been using wireless networking with no problems.

I use a wireless keyboard (cheaper than a Tranzport!) and have no problems. I used to use a wireless mouse, but I get aggrevated when the signal is lost and could not find a mouse that didn't occassionally lose the signal.
