Wireless kybd & mouse ?

Nope...

The world is full of RF already. Designers of sound cards and interfaces should understand that and design accordingly, because if they don't, there's thousands of interferance sources just waiting to cause problems... cordless phones, cellular, WiFi, radio, television, HAM radio, CB...

mrmike, I have a wireless mouse (with a track ball, which i can use with the thumb- it's more ergonomic for me, don't have to push the mouse on the table all the time and I can keep everywhere, near the instrument, for instance). It doesn't disturb the recording. Some people say, that it could be a problem for human's health, if everything is "on wire" and not linked by cables and I think they are not really on the wrong side. But anyhow, the development is going strong on that road:
Look at this, it's called "TranzPort" and uses radiowaves: www.frontierdesign.com
Wireless, why less, I guess, maybe no mess..........

Worst thing I encountered with a wireless mouse & keyboard was the occasional line of sight problems where I would be in a null spot and they wouldn't work and always having to hunt them down. You be surprised how well they can blend in to the crap laying around.

I've been using a wireless keyboard and mouse for over five years, in three different environments. I've never had any problems with interference.

The only drawback is that when the battery goes, the mouse or keyboard abruptly stops working. If you don't have a replacement handy, that can be frustrating. Other than that, they are great.

I, too, have been using wireless KB and mice for years, and have not had any problem. Plus, it takes a long time for the battery to wear down (good advice to have a spare battery handy, though. Once you try it, it's hard to go back to being on a leash. <G>
