Big Grin 2.4 GHz WIRELESS KEYBOARD!
This is the sickest and coolest keyboard (wireles) avaliable. I found only 1 store in my region who sells it. Bestekpc (website is bestekpc.ca). It's 40 bux and it goes 2.4 GHz. It's awesome. The receiver is very small as well. Awesome keyboard!

The only bad thing is the batteries aren't rechargable. I used it on my mom's pc sadly it's not a 51 inch so i could go far but couldn't see, but i was able to use it after walking about 95 steps. It's nice. Great media keyboard!

i don't like the style of that keyboard. i like the standard layout....not no laptop looking layout. I had a keyboard like that once, and i ended up hating it.....not comfortable at all. on top of that...i'd have to agree w/PJ on the frequency thing.

bluetooth is perfect for keyboards - they'll have no issue low bandwidth so why the hell do they need to use the 2.4ghz band? thought it would be nice if the signal could piggy back of a 802.11x signal and be broadcast from a router - imaging the range of the keyboard then

They're using 2.4 GHz probably because the parts have gotten way cheap to purchase and integrate into systems. Hence the $40 price.

I would be worried about interference with my wireless router and/or my cordless phone.

No No inferencae at all. There's a wireless router, wireless phones, all around it. I even tried putting items in front. I tried with my Math book and it still works. I like the layout and it is pretty comfortable. Keys could be bigger.

Hrmmm... good point. I'll get right on it. The dog is already wireless, the oven is still tied down, but we can see about that!

Yes i thought about that to.. DUnno it seems useless now almost to me now... Don't see what the use of using it is from far away. It is useful 2 me because i need something that can go faraway but for daily use overkill!
