Introduction: What is a Wireless Keyboard?

Wireless keyboards allow the user to type without the use of a physical connection to a computer.

A wireless keyboard is, as its name suggests, a keyboard that does not need any cables connecting it to your computer. The wireless receiver is usually built into the body of the keyboard and will transmit data wirelessly to any compatible device over a distance of up to 10 meters (30 feet).

What are the Benefits of Using a Wireless Keyboard?

Wireless keyboards are cost-effective, efficient, and easy to use. No need to worry about tangles or cables.

Benefits of wireless keyboards include no cabling to deal with, the ability to use it from anywhere in the room, and increased range for your wireless mouse.

There are also other benefits that you may not have assumed. For example, you can take your keyboard with you on a trip without worrying about dealing with cables or having a battery die on you. The risk of losing both your keyboard and mouse is also eliminated because they are connected by a single cordless receiver.

Wireless keyboards typically require a USB dongle to connect with the computer. Some wireless keyboards do not have an easy way to disable or turn off the keyboard’s power. This means that if you forget to unplug the keyboard, it will continue running on your computer's battery.

Some wireless keyboards are not as responsive as wired ones and some people experience latency or lag when using them.
