Preliminary info:

These wireless keyboards can be used on MAC or PC. Check the system requirements that are listed on the package the device is in. It will tell you what version of software it is compatable with and any other computer hardware requirements such as disk space for the software or input ports like USB. Check the store return policy just in case it doesn’t meet your expectations after you get it home and have tried it out for a little while.

Working info:

The wireless RF (Radio Frequency) keyboard uses a couple of batteries (sometimes AAA, AA or one 9volt). The keyboard transmits radio frequency signal on frequency 2.4 ghz. There is a reciever that hooks up to your computer USB that receives on 2.4 ghz. It can transmit from 15-30ft depending on the environment your operating in. Environment = the more clutter or blockage between the keyboard transmitter and computer receiver the less distance it can be operated. It isn’t always necessary to install the software if you don’t care about some of the keyboard advance features or have a newer version of a computer operating system (like XP or VISTA or MAC OS)

Some problems you could experience:

If you play on line games with DSL the delay time between the keyboard and computer when hitting many keys quickly or combinations of keys may not cause your game to react properly. I play online games and had to remove my wireless keyboard for that reason.

Also, if you have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone or microwave very close by they will cause problems. Make sure your phone doesn’t work on 2.4ghz or isn’t located close by. Microwave is dependent on how old it is. I’ve seen older ones cause problems.

Good luck.

Wireless (radio frequency) keyboard are gaining popularity among the general population and have obvious benefits to those with disabilities, namely the operator does not need to worry about getting tangled in wires, running over wires, or being limited by wires.

Most wireless keyboards and wireless mice (pointing devices) come with easy-to-install software that can be used on standard computers.

good question! in certainty, the scientist Nikola Tesla had an thought to do basically that a pair of century in the past. He proposed an electric powered generator in everybody’s abode, emitting an electromagnetic field that would desire to supply potential to all of the home equipment interior the abode. He additionally proposed potential transmission over long distances by ability of this technique, which might replace potential lines. In thought this would properly be a risk. In coaching, the intensity of the EM fields would be so severe, that it does no longer be secure to stay in a house that replaced into powered that way.
