If you like your gaming, then stick to wired for precision.

I used to use a wireless keyboard but soon went back to a wired one. Got fed up with changing the batteries

The logitech is one of the better ones though...

Got a Belkin wireless mouse and keyboard from Staples the other week - The one with loads of programmable keys on too - not the smaller one..
Came with wrist rest, batteries etc... £10 ! [ only issue is the home / page down keys are in 2 columns of 3 rows rather than the usual 3 columns / 2 rows ]

I dont use a wireless keyboard, but my Logitech G7 Wireless mouse is excellent, especially for gaming. It comes with 2 rechargeable batteries so you simply swap them over when one runs out and it recharges the other. Genius!

I'm in the 'went wireless, now back to wired' camp.

Found that the batteries ran out as the most inopportune time and a few times just couldn't lay my hand on a freshly charged set or a standard Duracell because the kids had nicked it for toys or the TV remote - again..

Got too frustrating so I went back to wired. Unless you need to have some sizeable distance from the main box, then I think you'll quickly get fed up with feeding it and managing batteries..
