cordless keyboard and mouse

What the hell is the point of a cordless keyboard and mouse

I'm at the girlfriends and she has both, just tried to log in and the keyboard won't work as it has been disturbed as the batteries dropped out during cleaning!

I can understand the logic behind a cordless power tool or a phone, but a cordless keyboard and mouse is just not necessary- what are you going to do take the keyboard to the kitchen

Absolute pile of rubbish

Now I have missed loads of posts because the keyboard would not work

I like 'em but my desk is such a sh*thole of garbage it means I can keep te keyboard and mouse elsewhere.

Problem is not with the cordless k/brd and mouse but the cordless girlfriend!

Keep them connected to the kitchen by a rope and then they can't get to the computer and cause problems with it

We've just had to ditch our mouse as it was possessed and did what it wanted in its own time. Now we've got a bog standard one and need half a table to get the arrow to point where we need it.

You can adjust the resolution of the mouse somewhere cant you?

In the control panel i think

Or buy a bigger table ?

Cordless mice and keyboards can be affected by other radio signals and interference - they often come with a USB extension cable - use that to put the transmitter futher away from PC if you get problems

Optical mice can make the cursor seem to have a mind of it's own because the laser picks up patterns on muse mats or the grain on wooden desks. Use it on a plain surface.
