I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard 850. In terms of quality, it's not bad at all. No letters vanished and no keys stopped working. Not even a scratch. And since I stopped eating at the computer, the keyboard is very clean.
However, the signal started dying a lot recently. At first, I assumed it would be the batteries so I changed them but this had no effect. I tried a variation of battery types from 1.5V alkaline Duracells and Maxels to nimh 1.3V Energizer batteries.
There are a lot of wifi devices in range such as a router and my android phone.
Any way to easily mitigate the signal issue?
In terms of hardware, this keyboard has lasted almost two years so far and I don't want to change it because I have had many issues with keyboard not lasting in the past. I would to at least attempt to fix this issue first before getting a USB keyboard.
