So I am thinking of picking up a wireless keyboard so I can surf the net from my recliner using my Blu-ray player but I am not sure if it takes RF, IF or Bluetooth. Does anybody understand the specs better than I? Thank.
sir_diealot Looks like it only has USB, so you might need one of the wireless ones that comes with the little wireless dongle.

teh_g I had figured that would be the case, I am just wondering if it would be RF, IF or Blu-tooth? Hope that did not come off snide, it was not intended to.
Just got off with customer support. They said USB HID keyboard Never heard of those before.

I think something like this: Logitech K360 Compact Wireless Keyboard with Hotkeys
One of the ones that uses the USB dongle. Not 100% sure, but those are usually the type you need.

sir_diealot USB HID is a Human Interface Device, all mouses and keyboards register like that in the OS 
So probably any type of wireless dongle type keyboard should work

teh_g Thanks, do you think something like this would work, I would like to get a combo or maybe a keyboard with the mouse controller on it.

Sir_diealot if you were on the phone with their customer support, would they not recommend something for you that was compatible?
My only fear would be that the wireless dongle ones would still need an OS to recognize them. I only bring this up because it has happened to me with other equipment. I’ve bought wireless mice before, that use a USB dongle or such, and then they don’t work because it is designed to be recognized by windows or mac OS, and the device that I’m putting it into, even though there is a USB, it can’t install the software that the mouse wanted.
just throwing that out there so you know.
EDIT: oh wait, I’m a dork. that was a storage drive- sorry. but leaving this here just in case the question happens to have merit.

polekatt It was one of those live chats online, not on the phone. You bring up things I did not know. I am going to have to call them next week when I know for sure I will have the money to do it to see if they will suggest an actual product. Thank you very much for the help.

sir_diealot I recall you saying you needed an ergonomic kb… has that changed?
Edited to add a quote:
sir-diealot dit:
I am forced to use because of my car accident back in 88 If I use the straight keyboards like lets say the Razor Black Widow where all the keys are straight then I get massive pain almost immediately especially along the tendon running back from the middle finger on the left hand which the bones and wrist have not been right on since the accident in 88

ub6 I will only be able to use right hand so it won’t bother me as much, if I were using both hands then it would be a problem for sure.
