PT: Will it be wireless, Bluetooth, or USB only?

AL: USB 2.0 for sure…FireWire - probably. Possibly it will have an external power supply. No need for Bluetooth.


I cant stand corded keyboards.. I have the bluetooth logitech one now, would so love one with those kinds of keys....

Um...that would require some real power, wouldn't it? From what I've seen, many cordless keyboards don't even have LEDs on them, I only assumed to cut back on power. Maybe if you could build a power dock into a keyboard tray or something...

Could someone please, please explain to me the benefit of bluetooth over RF for keyboards and mice? After stepping away from the computer for a while (say 30 minutes), my girlfriend's bluetooth keyboard and mouse sometimes take a good 10 seconds to start talking to the computer, and always take at least one keypress or mouse click. Not only that, but It sounds like she has to replace batteries far more often than I do. I've had my keyboard for a couple years, and while I'm sure I may have replaced the batteries once in that time, it's been so long I don't even remember doing so. Even more important, in the 5 years I've owned cordless Logitech mice, after I've connected them to the receiver, I've never had them lose their connection.

So why bluetooth? Is it just to have the buzzword on the box?
