A wireless keyboard transfers typing data to a computer via infrared beams, eliminating tangled wires. It allows for a wireless experience and can be complemented by a wireless mouse. The infrared receiver must be within reach of the beam and line of sight must not be blocked.
Sometimes sitting by the computer monitor at your desk can be uncomfortable. Other times, there may be so many tangled wires behind your computer that you are unable to organize them. No matter what scenario you are most often in, a wireless keyboard can help you.
A wireless keyboard is exactly the same as a regular computer keyboard, except for one major difference: it transfers typing data to the computer via infrared beams. A beam of information is sent from the keyboard, as you type, to a receiver, which is connected to your computer. This allows for a wireless experience, which eliminates the possibility of another tangled cable behind your computer. It is also common for many consumers to purchase a wireless mouse to complement a wireless keyboard. That being the case, two threads are now eliminated from the clutter behind the desk.
Wireless technology also allows you to place your wireless keyboard or mouse in a position that the wired version may not reach. However, the infrared keyboard receiver must be placed in a location that is within easy reach of the infrared beam. This distance can vary from model to model, so check the specifications before buying a wireless keyboard. If the keyboard is not pointed in the general direction of the receiver or if line of sight between the wireless keyboard and the receiver is blocked, the signal will not be transmitted to the computer. This can create a problem for the user if someone walks between the keyboard and the handset or if the keyboard is not angled correctly.
