Default wireless or not?

I will have to change my keyboard very soon (it is old and getting all the keys stucked).
The question, is wireless or not wireless? i have read some reviews about the new keyboards that work with bluetooth technology, but can't find reviews of people that have used them or are using them. Anyone?

If I were you, I'd try disassembing my KB and cleaning it out first (especially the space under the keys).
Only a major malfunction would make me replace it.

NOT_wireless. i got seriously fcuking tired after my 'oh cool logitech wireless keyboard on my bed while i gaze in to monitor 3 meters away' dis-charged. in those worst possible moments. and when it was not in the worst moment, it was just annoyng. after a while i sold the keyboard and i would rather get longer usb cable than getting back to the curse of technology

A wireless mouse, that makes sense. But a wireless keyboard, I don't know. I use one, but only because my old keyboard was broken and I had still this one, which came with my actual PC. The only times where I use the non-wirelessity is when I watch Cowboy Bebop while lying on the sofa. ...Whereat it strikes me, that I moved my PC to my room recently, and there is no sofa... (because my brother doesn't allow me to break through the old bricked door, and so I have no passage for carrying in the sofa I want to buy...)

I don't want to sit on a screwdriver (do you?), nor do I want to kill my brother with it.
