wireless keyboards

Cable-free input devices

Wireless keyboards are computer input devices that connect without physical cables, typically using Bluetooth or a USB radio receiver.

They offer freedom of placement and reduced desk clutter: I switched to a wireless keyboard so I could type from the couch.

The tradeoff is battery dependence and occasional connection lag.
