Hello guys, I've tried a few of the wireless keyboards out there recently, and all seem to have a typing delay. The lag is very noticeable if you type really fast. Sometimes, if I press like 20 keys in a couple of seconds by just "mashing" the keyboard, then it takes up to a full second for the input to finish "typing" onto the screen.

Since my wrists can get stiff, it's a requirement for me to have a curved keyboard like the Microsoft Natural series, or Logitech Comfort series.

Any answers would be appreciated sooo much!!
 
I agree with shiro.

Its funny cuz I recently bought the cheapest wireless setup logitech has and theres no lag on it, but on the one they had that big giveaway fro a while back, now and then that setup would lag.
 
I have probably gone through 4 or 5 sets of wireless combos in the last 4 or 5 years. All eventually developed battery problems, problems maintaining link, etc. I now have a high-end wired setup and honestly I doubt very much that I will ever switch back to wireless again, not unless some miracle technology is developed for batteries.
 
Cool, thanks guys.. but is there a bluetooth wireless COMFORT (or curved) keyboard?

My only concern here is the typing delay if I type like 30 characters in 2 seconds.
 
Bump? There should be somebody out there who really knows the answer to that.
 
I've looked high and low for the past few months for a curved Bluetooth keyboard and I've been completely unable to find one. I would kill for one and they just don't seem to exist.
 
Hmm.. we should ask Logitech and Microsoft to create a "Comfort" or "Natural" wireless keyboard that uses the same bandwidth as a G7 mouse or Bluetooth, with the same performance as a wired keyboard that can type at least say, 50 or 100 characters per second.

(I dont know the maximum number of characters per second for a wired keyboard if you just smash the keyboard with your palms and fingers as quickly as possible.. anybody out there know?)
 
Bumpage.. I'm desperate for a curved, natural, or "comfort" wireless keyboard that has ABSOLUTELY no input or typing lag whatsoever for my second "multimedia" wife's computer in our grand bedroom.
 
Here's a big reason I'm looking for one, quoted from another thread:

I mean like 5 buttons in a millisecond. That's very important for fast-paced 3D shooter games online, when you're going forward, back, then left, then double-dodge all within the split of a second. I have tried a couple of wireless keyboards before, and usually it would not let me double-dodge in Unreal Tournament games because the keyboard was not fast enough.

Also, I want wireless because of no wires on my desk (no clutter), ease of moving it around. It must be natural or curved (comfort) so that my wrists dont get sore and stiff (FEARS of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME that I've seen develop on so many people).
 
I have a cheapo fellowes keyboard that uses RF. When I mash 20 keys, there is a very small, but noticable delay in the last 4 or 5 keys. If I hit a single key, it appears instantaneous.

The same delay happens with wired keyboards however.
