Windows RG (Really Good Edition)

This looks about par for the course.

Guess with all this Bill hating going on here, now would not be a good time to tell you mates that I purchased this Microsoft wireless keyboard and laser mouse over the weekend. ;)

Anyone else use a wireless keyboard and/or mouse? I'm wondering when the time comes to reformat my machine, will I need to use a conventional keyboard/mouse during installation?

Why do they keep making these keyboards with non standard layouts! (MS and Logitech are both guilty of this). I'm refering to the keys above the arrow keys. It should be:

[Insert][Home][PageUp]
[Del ][End ][PageDown]

For now I'm sticking to my old Microsoft Natural keyboard, but I would like to upgrade to a nice bluetooth keyboard and mouse in the future to get rid of some cables. Let me know how this pair performs for gaming :D

I've been using wireless mouse and keyboard for two years now Snoop and havent had any problems apart from mouse batteries dying without warning-you just need to check the battery level via the software on a weekly basis as it goes for several days after it says the level is critical. Both my keyboard and mouse are Logitec.

Have you reformatted your machine using this wireless technology? Does it work somehow, or did you need to connect a coventional keyboard and mouse until the OS/USB/wireless software was installed?

So far she's working great. As I use the mouse wheel for rudder trim in IL-2, looking forward to the greater freedom of placing the mouse to my left and probably right next to my MS joystick (which is kept on my lap under a clipboard) during flight.

And yes, no more cables for my feet (or dog) to pull when firing at enemies. :badgrin:
