If ever you want a reason why you shouldn't get a cordless keyboard... here's one....
Midway through a deathball game the batteries died...
So now all i can do is look around and jump like a fucking moron... (since i have the jump bound to a mouse button)...
Naturally everybody else is wondering wtf I'm doing with their helpful little '...'s and ' ? 's and of course all I can do jump up and down and a fire my gun randomly...
Being the git that I am i wouldnt let idle kick do its job
At the same time I'm dismantling my walkman trying to dig its batteries out while some fucker is boosting me upfield in order to kill me for the millionth time.
What would make this story 'l33t' would be if I managed to get the batteries in the keyboard in time, catch the ball and score.
What really happened was that I died again and then the time ran out....

Cordless keyboard is useless anyway
It's not like you are taking your keyboard with you to the bathroom

cordless stuff is such a waste
more annoying than helpful
only thing i have cordless are my headphones
i can even sit in the garden with em \o
a cordless mouse is dumb, you will only use it at the computer..so why does it have to be cordless?
and on lanparties people only steal it or take the batteries out

Cordless headphones distort a lot of sound quality last i used them. They only have a 2.4 GHz frequency (i think) which although is good for a phone conversation (typical cordless phones) sounds like hell for loud music. They also lack good range, usually only about 10-20 feet for a reasonable price. For any long range, GOOD stereo headphones your looking in the $100+ range.
Also, since using voice programs is fun, its almost impossible to find a cordless headset (not headphones). I'll stick with my un-godly USB plantronic headset.

cordless keyboard is teh win.
enable secure mode and if the batteries start to die, move the sensor closer to the keyboard until you've finished your game
I find they rarely just die, but the range get's shorter as the battery levels depleat.
