[linux] Wireless keyboards/mice
Today my mouse basicly gave out (it's constantly doubleclicking instead of singleclicking, regardless of how many times i poke little bits of wire and stuff in it to try and clean it - i think the switch is ****ed), and my keyboard is also on the way out.
So, I ordered an RF wireless keyboard/mouse set (can't be doing with IR) and suddenly had a thought - is this going to work in linux?
For those of you who don't know I have a dualboot XP/MDK 9.0 system, and I use XP most of the time. For this reason I didn't really think much about linux till after I ordered it.
The reciever plugs into the PS2 mouse/kb ports so I would imagine it should function as a standard PS2 kb/mouse right?

I hope so anyway...

My tailless mouse works with linux and it's even a Microsoft one!

They should all work with no problems really, the interface is identical.

Got it.
No problems with linux, and the range seems to be somewhat greater than advertised. The mouse supposedly has a 1 meter range and the keyboard 2 meters.
I can move the mouse and type from the other side of my flatmates room (his is opposite mine, so that's about 6 or 7 meters), so typing on the bed isn't going to be a problem heh.
There's no noticable lag on the mouse either (which some people have reported with wireless kit), except for when it comes out of energy saving mode (you have to give it a bit of a push before it catches on and powers back up).
