Wireless Keyboard

[DrDekker]

I've recently bought a cheap wireless ps2 keyboard for my A600 which works really well within Workbench and applications.  However, when playing Pinball Dreams or Pinball Illusions, I've noticed a slight lag in response (which makes the game more challenging I suppose).  The lag is definitely down to the keyboard since it's not there when using a wired keyboard.

Can anyone recommend a particular make/model of wireless keyboard that doesn't have any lag?  TIA.

My Bluetooth mouse and keyboard is lag free.

And AMiGA free also maybe? ;-)

Not necessarily. Some keyboards/mice use Bluetooth to communicate with their base station, which then connects to the computer by PS/2 or USB. That would work on an Amiga. Obviously a keyboard/mouse which connects directly to a computer's bluetooth interface wouldn't work on an Amiga (yet).

I am really curious to know how on earth did you connect a wireless PS2 keyboard to the A600???  :-?

And what's the purpose of an external keyboard on the A600 anyways?

I've connected it via an adapter based on Stephen Marsden's IBMKEY design.

It's connected to my A600 for testing purposes - I didn't want to risk it on my A1200 until I was confident it wouldn't do anything nasty.

My main reason for wanting to connect a pc keyboard is that I intend to towerise my A1200.  It's far easier (and cheaper) to make a ps2 adapter and connect a pc keyboard than source/buy anything Amiga.  IMO modern pc keyboards (made by Logitech, Microsoft, etc.) have greater quality, reliability and style than any Amiga.

I've also made a ps2 adapter for the mouse port.  Again, modern optical ps2/usb mice are much more accurate, responsive and reliable than any Amiga mouse.
