Any wireless keyboards that don't lag?

[igowerf]

I just bought a Logitech MX3000 keyboard/mouse set and there is a noticeable lag when I just type casually. I hover between 60 to 80 wpm in casual typing and I go faster when I'm coding or transcribing. This is a big problem for me because it makes me think that I'm mistyping characters when I don't see them appear immediately.

If you have a wireless keyboard, test it by just mashing a bunch of keys and then suddenly stopping. Do characters continue to appear even after you stop?

Anyone have any suggestions? Am I stuck with wired keyboards for now?

I don't notice much lag with my cordless desktop MX duo

My roommate had an MX Duo Elite and I found that it lagged a bit for me.

If you mash your keys really fast, do you see characters continue to appear after you stop?

I've used pretty much the best wireless keyboards out (Dinovo, MX5000, and Microsoft Bluetooth Elite) and they all lag if you type fast so I'd say youre probably stuck using a wired one. Its not like you really go that far when typing unless you have a huge monitor.

Yeah. My desk is kind of far away from my PC though. I got an HTPC case so my computer would look nice among my hometheater equipment (DVD player, receiver, etc). I have a long DVI cable running to my monitor and I wanted everything else to be wireless. It's not a big deal though. I'll run a USB extension cable so I can continue to use my wired keyboard.

I'm surprised that these wireless keyboards get such great reviews when they lag so much.
