Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Why, oh why did it take me so long to break down and buy a wireless keyboard and mouse for laptop?? Hmmm.. good question but boy I think I’m going to write for the next four days straight.

Logitech Wireless Desktop

I have a desktop that I can’t believe I bought when I was pregnant with my son (yup 7 years ago…isn’t that ancient for a desktop now?) It was a Dell and I was so P.O’ed because one, I was very excited to get the new computer since I was leaving my full time job and did not have a personal computer, gasp!  Only to be so disappointed with Dell when it came because I was missing a code sticker on the side that wouldn’t allow me to unlock all my Microsoft Applications. I spent three days on the phone being bounced from one support center to another and after 32 hours on the phone (about 30 hours of it on hold) I gave up.

I know I shouldn’t have, but really, I was 9 months pregnant with an 16 month old baby at my feet, overwhelmed at not working full time anymore and my house was under severe construction. By the time I got back to wanting to use the applications that I couldn’t get to work at all because I wasn’t an “authorized” user, it was too late and I just never used them.

That desktop is now so slooooowwwww that I generally only use it for Word and Excel and rely on my little laptop that I got last summer. The downside of the laptop is that it has VISTA that I think SUCKS and I didn’t get Microsoft Office installed because I was afraid of spending too much money… another dumb mistake but I generally work 90% of the time on the internet and use notebook or Google Docs so it hasn’t been too bad.

My family does give me a hard time about constantly having the laptop within an arms reach and being “addicted” but until I am making my million dollars a year I’m pounding my keyboard, listening and learning and tweaking tweaking tweaking.  This brings me to my new keyboard and mouse… ohhhhh it’s so nice… it’s almost better then sex… my fingers are gliding over the keyboard and a fully functional mouse oh my not my little oily finger leaving tracks on my touch pad.

I’m so easy to please, it’s not even a high end keyboard I think I splurged $40.00 on this Logitech Wireless Desktop at BJ’s Wholesale club and it came with the wireless mouse & keyboard… but all the buttons to explore- wait- is that sound? Can I actually control my volume from that little button? Oh and look at that I just popped up my calculator with one button no need to go to Start-and scroll through my folders. Okay 1 million dollars divided by a $27.00 EBook means I only need to sell approx WOW maybe I should scale that a little. The keys have a cheaper, lighter feel then my desktop keyboard and I wish it offered a bit more of an angle to it- the footers don’t add much value to the angle. But the buttons are smooth and easy to push especially since I’m used to typing on the laptop itself.

I found this wireless keyboard and mouse on Amazon for around $33.00 and it had some various reviews. I’m sure there are those that are really into their gadgets so like I said, I’m easy to please- I opened up the box, plugged the receiver into my usb port, popped the batteries in and was typing this post within 5 minutes I’m getting old so I sit at my laptop to work and not across the room so the distance that was one complaint doesn’t apply to me since I can’t even tell it’s wireless except I don’t have wires dangling over my papers.

Guess I’ll throw my husband for a loop and thank him when he gets home and tell him I’ll pretend he gave it to me since he didn’t give me a birthday present last month. That works right?

Like my Post? Maybe you would like to Buy Mama A Java! It will help to keep me reading, writing and scooping out the info
