is it possible to use a wireless keyboard/mouse/remote that connects to a USB port, or would keeping the front panel closed prevent that?

good question..haven't tried that as i use the front ones for charging my phones or for USB HDD. i put my bluetooth USB behind and gives me good reception.

Yes it is possible, sort-of... IR (your average mouse, remote radio wavelength) and bluetooth are still going to work, and I have used a IR keyboard with mine, but in theory the range will be decreased especially for IR. In practice I can't really see a difference. I am using the keyboard in a 26 ft X 26 ft room, on the far side of the room.

I use a Logitech wireless usb keyboard/mouse in the front usb port with the front panel closed. Logitech uses a very small receiver, other larger ones might not allow it to close. There isn't too much space. There is also usb ports in the back of the case, that would work also.

If it's one of those micro usb receivers it should be ok? Not sure if it'll block any signal when the lid closed?

You will want to keep the front panel closed, mainly for looks but also the lights are bright with it open. I am using wireless keyboard (iPazzPort Pro Mini KP-810-10-A) and use the usb port on back with the cable hung up above the unit for better receiver signal. Works great, only time i have a problem is when battery gets low.

I use a Denovo mini wireless keyboard and use it with the front shut but that is because the adapter is in one of the many USB ports on the motherboard in the back. However I did use a different wireless keyboard for a bit that did have a mini USB adapter about 1/2 in total and was able to use it in the front with the door close.A great box BTW for a home theater system.

Well, you can definitely use one of the USB ports on the rear. Otherwise, your USB receiver needs to be quite short so the door gets enough clearance to close properly.I don't have exact measurements but I'm confident that if you have any Logitech peripherals that use a Nano receiver, those are fine. Anything longer may be an issue.

I currently use Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse. They use a nano receiver that doesn't stick out much. The panel closes, and the signal is strong enough to go through. Definitely hasn't bothered me and I would highly recommend this case.

Nope, it connects via USB. The board also has a USB port on it so you can add a mouse say.

Yes, this is true for any computer. the wireless keyboard and mouse have a mini base station that plugs into your USB port. even if you already use the usb port for something else, you could just buy a usb hub to give you more ports so, definitely yes, you can use a wireless keyboard/mouse.

I have not tried doing that but I can tell you that I've plugged this into front-facing USB ports on my tower PC and it works just fine. This is a great keyboard, feels great since I went from an ergonomic 4000 to this.

Wireless keyboards & mice, at least modern ones, are USB devices, and may be used on any computer with USB. That should include any machine less than ~15 years old. In this case I would strongly recommend a mini-dongle, of which the plastic part is 1cm deep.That will allow the cover to be closed.

I used a USB keyboard and mouse. There are 4 USB ports - 2 in front and 2 in back.

Yes you can. I even have a wired mouse and keyboard connected at the same time, as a backup in case the batteries die on the wireless devices.

I have not been able to use the wireless keyboard with this switch but I have separate transmitters. My wireless mouse works fine. If you have a common transmitter, I would try using it in the mouse port of the switch. There might be something about the keyboard port that causes trouble - likely the hotkey command protocols.

There is no physical connection. The mouse and keyboard both connect electronically quickly. Beware: the keyboard does not have an "Off" button so it needs new batteries about every two weeks.

I haven't tried that so I am not certain if wireless will work or not. I can tell you that the IOGEAR 2-Port USB DVI-D KVM switch has 2 USB ports, one designated for the key board and one for the mouse. If your wireless KB & Mouse use 2 separate USB receivers, I would guess that the chances of it working properly are good.

Yes, a very small receiver (dongale) plugs into the USB port. Mouse and keyboard connect to the same receiver. Works great!

no problem connecting keyboard and/or mouse via the hub. However keyboard and/or mouse may require software installation.

No, the keyboard connects with the same adaptor as the mouse and there is not an on/off. Change out the battery before you chalk it up to faulty.

I have both a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. The mouse receiver is plugged into a USB port rear of computer. The keyboard receiver is contained within the USB plug , which is plugged into another port in the front of he computer. Even though I have multiple USB ports front & back, the keyboard works best (sensitivity) plugged into the front.

Not exactly sure why there is even an internal port, perhaps for a fan, etc? I plugged an extension USB cable into one of the ports and connected the other end to a 5-port usb hub so it sits next to my keyboard. Haven't needed to use the internal port for anything.

No, the usb ports are basically a usb hub so you have to plug the keyboard into the computer to make the usb ports active.
