Question my keyboard broke.
what are my options for wireless keyboards?
Answer Microsoft, IBM and Logitech all have acceptable wireless keyboard and wireless optical mouse choices. You just have to watch for sales. They can be very expensive when you get into the fancier Internet keyboards with a dozen or more specialty keys for fast access to functions, programs and Web sites.
I am a fan of Logitech but I don't like their first wireless models where they relied strictly on on-screen messages for Caps Lock and Num Lock rather than indicator lights on the keyboard. I don't know if their newer models have gotten away from that or not. Otherwise, all three brands are equally good and they all use the same methods.
