Haven't noticed any with my wireless karyboard or mouse for that matter. With fresh batteries you should be ok, its only when they start going low you will see it start to do some weird things.

and the batteries last almost 6 months.

no issues here (at least when I used to have a wireless keyboard)

rechargeable mouse
my kb runs on 4 AAA batts

zero lag caused by mouse
battery lifetime depends on how much I use the comp.

the kb/mouse combo that I'm running wasn't properly adjusted at the factory (this causes some glitches)

I'm sure cheap Keyboards are fine..

$30 walmart wireless mouse/keyboard combo.

The keyboard is freaking awesome. The best I've ever used. The feel is just perfect. Soft and squishy with spunk, not loud.

The mouse....Uhm...Well, it's good for internet browsing.

Basically, I hook up a wired mouse whenever I play games.

I may pick up a MX700 because I hear it has good accuracy, and the built in charger looks great!

Agreed. I have an MX700 and I love it. No worries about having spare batteries.

this is what I ended up with, if it doesn't work, open up the reciever and fiddle with the adjustment screws.

the built in gyroscope is :2cool:
