We all know the problem of wires when it comes to computers so the fewer wires we can do without the better.
One way to cut down on those wires is by choosing a wireless input device such as a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. There are a lot to choose from so how do you know which one is the best.
Let us take a look at some of the factors you should think about when choosing the type of device that you need. Non wired keyboards come in many shapes, sizes and configuration.
The first thing you should consider is how you are going to use your new keyboard. Are you going to be using it at a computer desk or at another location. You may have a HTPC that is running through your main television rather than through a dedicated monitor.
If you are going to be sitting further from the screen such as with a home theatre system that is used to watch films and listen to music you will want a different type of keyboard. You might want to consider a keyboard with a built in touchpad or trackball. A touchpad can replace the functionality of the mouse and keep everything in one unit rather than having a separate mouse that can be difficult to use if you are not working at a desk.
Wireless keyboards with built in touchpad come in several sizes. You may want to consider a more compact model so it can be easily stowed away. You will also need to consider how the keyboard is powered.
Wireless devices require battery power. The more power the device uses the more batteries the device is going to need. Choosing a compact model with power saving options will allow the batteries to last longer.
Alternatively you could go for a slightly more expensive model with a built in lithium battery. These are more powerful and come with their own charger or docking stations. This saves on having to buy separate batteries and so can save money in the long run.
Finally if you are looking to make a statement then design and style may be as important as functionality. There are many good looking designer keyboards that not only look good but have many advanced features to make your wireless computing more enjoyable an experience.
