Does anyone know if this keyboard is going to be wireless? I notice that it will have a 7 foot long cable and I'm guessing that this thing is going to suck out a lot of power with all the stuff that its made with. I was wondering though, if it was going to be wireless like the mouse. I was thinking about just getting the mouse since it has the 12 buttons on the side for the great instance cast. Now I just don't see the point of it since this bad boy has a track pad haha. But my Point and back to the topic will it be wireless? Does anyone know if this keyboard is going to be wireless?

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

The keyboard is already heavy enough without build-in battery, and it require 2 usb ports, so I don't think wireless will be able to handle 5-6 hours. Also if they have to put a battery with enough capacity to power it for few hours in it, the size and weight will increase a lot... Currently 2.2kg

I had my keyboard arrive from Razer on Monday and it does not have a wireless function. Just to clear things up for people.

I see what you're trying to get at. But it just doesn't make sense to me, if you care to help me understand.iPad 2 tablet claims to get up to 10 hours. With other tablets varying in battery, but not usually going lower than 4 hours. How would a keyboard, even with the tiny screen built in, not stand up to 4 hours of use?Weight also isn't really a big factor when it comes to keyboards, I wouldn't think. People don't necessarily walk around holding a keyboard and typing, as far as my understanding goes anyway.

The documentation says no, and when I had problem, that was one of the first things that they told me to not use.... But, I'm able to use a wireless mouse without a problem. I don't have a wireless keyboard, so can't comment on that. Also note, I have problems using it with a Mac, either a Mac Mini, or a MacBook Pro, so if you have a Mac, I wouldn't recommend it(though others say that it works fine).

My understanding is that it isn't using bluetooth, as that would add to delay for gaming. It uses a proprietary communication, which I think is unencrypted to reduce response time and make this viable for gaming. I've never used a wireless mouse with better response time, feels same as a wired one to me.

No this is not wireless. As a gamer I would not suggest using a wireless keyboard or mouse as they inherently have delays which may effect game play.

So far I have been using the keyboard with my windows 7, ThinkPad(enhanced experience 2,0), Lenovo, intel core i3 -- I have no idea what it means. All I know is that I am using a PC laptop. Hope this can help a little. It is very comfortable to use a USB keyboard and a mouse.

Nancy, the keyboard has some faults. Rarely you will find a keyboard that allows 6 keys to be pressed at the same time without missing a letter. I actually feel that this keyboard is worse than that. It also has a glaringly bad light that lights up with every keystroke. This keyboard isn't the best thing for a word processor for those reasons, as well as one other. The ergonomics on this keyboard are non-existant. This keyboard is perfect for home theater uses as well as for XBOX 360. Uses beyond that are really not recommended by me. Hope this helps.Battery-wise, I still have yet to exchange them out. Nancy, the keyboard has some faults.

It's ridiculous that they didn't include it with the keyboard, I know! I was shocked too. You have to buy it separately. I HIGHLY recommend it too-otherwise you'll be eating up batteries like crazy (especially if you forget to switch it off).

I know this post is old, but just in case someone else stumbles on it looking for a wireless keyboard with a caps lock / num lock / scroll lock indicator, check out the Logitech MK710 keyboard/mouse combo. It has an LCD screen at the top of the keyboard. So far its been in operation for 7 months with the same battery, but the advertisement states 3 years on one battery. The receiver is the tiny micro usb too.Here's a link.http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-desktop-mk710?crid=27

I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, which I love by the way, that says it's battery life is up to 18 months and I'm lucky to get a month out of it. From reading the reviews, when in battery mode , the keys do not stay illuminated and you have to press something to light them up again. I love the fact you can have a choice of wired or not. The battery can also be replaced if need be according to the rep. I have a Logitech keyboard as well that I have had since Windows 95 and it works as well today as it did then. I do have a cover on it so that may be a big part of that reason. I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well.

It sh sould connect directly to the computer that you are using or product with out interference of the keyboard. Now how the mouse works is a different story. It looks good and sounds good but how it actually performs is totally different. Let me just say the mouse acts like its possessed. It starts doing other things you dont want it to do. The touch sensitivity needs alot of work . Maybe next version will work better.

I don't have it in front of me, but I never turn it off. Hasn't drained the battery in a few months either. I don't even turn off the mouse. I speculate that it put the devices in some sort of power standby. I don't remember seeing a way to turn the keyboard off.

They actually didn't package the mouse and keyboard in my purchase. I had to buy from another store. However I did buy a wireless keyboard and mouse and in my opinion it's far better than having wires hanging near your feet.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

Christopher...Unfortunately I am not a gamer so cannot speak first hand. But I wish I could get a screen shot of the App page on the TV...loads of games and access to the internet is oly dependent on your wifi connection speed. USB ports give you options for keyboards, etc. Go to a local retailer and try it out and ask all the questions you have.

This is incorrect. I researched this product extensively, and couldn't find one single remark about this keyboard/mouse combination's range, odd considering you would think that would be one of the top considerations when you're buying a wireless set (I know it was one of mine). Either way, I purchased this set and it barely reaches 6 ft range like all 27mHz sets, nowhere close to O. Sverloov's 20 feet claim.
