Default Cordless keyboards - mis-spelling fiasco!

Does anyone else think cordless keyboards are inconsistent ?

I swear using a conventional keyboard is more reliable at typing than my cordless one.

Lost count of the number of times I've had to go back and correct spelling mistakes because the cordless hasn't "processed" the key I thought I'd pressed.

Course, I could be paranoid.

mine's a cordless MX package (Logitech MX700 mouse = good)

I'm going to bin the keyboard and get a USB one.

My Logitech jobby is fine, but if my mobile rings the mouse does funny things.

Mine's fine. It only starts to go funny when either the battery is running out or I go too far away from the detector thingy.

Sheesh I wish that was all the problems I had. I would NOT recommend a bluetooth jobby from logitech. When I can get it to work and I now just leave my pc running until it absolutely NEEDS a reboot. It is so temperamental it sometimes takes hours of rebooting, searching for devices, re-installing, re-rebooting and praying to the bluetooth fairy for help. It has to be the MOST frustrating thing I have ever come across, but I persevere cause it cost me so much bloody money!
