I personally prefer wired keyboards. I don't want to bother with replacing batteries, and trying to diagnose problems with wireless keyboards. With wired, the problem is almost always the same, disconnected from ps/2 or usb port.

I prefer the wired ones i just find it much easier and what i do is i lose things, so my mouse might go missing at one point, cant be done with that, coming back to my pc and one of my family has walked off with the mouse lol.

My kit is on a desk which is just used for my computer I can not see the point in wireless systems for myself.

Wireless, as it simply looks nicer and gives more space.

Ya, I think those are the best keyboards ever!!! They look so awesome. Here's one that's cheaper than the one you mentioned. ThinkGeek :: Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard I really like thinkgeek.com because they have a lot of cool stuff.

I think it depends on where you put it to type on. Besides, any pain you experience will be nulled out by how freakin' awesome the keyboard is.
