wireless keyboard and mouse-useless

I think half the problem as well is UHM having to remember to put the mouse back in its bed at night to charge. He often forgets then wonders why it aint working!

Our first set worked for ages but then I replaced the mouse for an expensive Logitec one but then over time it bugged me that the keyboard didnt match. So then when I was buying cheap keyboards like £5 ones they didnt work well. So then I got a flexible keyboard that you could roll up and take away with you but it was an American keyboard setting so UHM complained about that. He moaned long enough that I went out and bought a wired Logitec. So now it matches the mouse but its wired! Wired is just like old technology we need to move with the times. Wireless is the way Im going....

You have had 5 keyboards in the last 12 months.

These wireless keyboards are really good aren't they

Wireless is great for a phone or for a powertool, but totally unnecessary for a keyboard and mouse. If you want to waste yet more money on gimmiks then go and buy a cordless keyboard and mouse.

It's called running down the batteries so that they do not suffer from the "memory effect". Charging a battery that is still 80% full does not make much sense to me.

Well would you like to sleep on a cold desk at night instead of tucked up in your warm bed? No - then that's how my mouse feels! Tuck him in at night!
