I doubt if anything in  PE1BSB's shack is more than 10 feet from anything
else, but take a look and you'll see what he means by getting stuck in
wires!

I personally don't have a problem with USB wired keyboards. Since the
keyboard will be located close to the P3/PX3, the cord is not a problem for
me.  It goes straight back from the keyboard and is routed to the back of
the P3, so it is not in the way of anything on the desk.

I do use a wireless keyboard and mouse on my media computer, but that is
because the computer is located more than 10 feet away from where I want to
operate the keyboard and mouse.

The list of wired USB keyboards that work is greater than the list of
wireless.

It looks identical to the Anker A7723 keyboard that I've had for a couple of 
years. Works great. One thing I like that seems the same as the one you 
referenced is that the main keys are the standard size and spacing. They made 
is smaller by eliminating the number keypad and compressing the page up/down, 
etc., keys into four keys in the lower right.

Wondering if anyone has tried this mini wireless keyboard with their PX3:

https://www.adafruit.com/products/1737?gclid=Cj0KEQjwh428BRCnvcyI-5nqjY4BEiQAijebws3eF9yt7A1so9Xw44_K2fCnlGD2uOQ6gPBS8FtpPMoaAgfi8P8HAQ
 


Yes, I know there is a list on Elecraft’s website, but it is not all inclusive 
and does not seem to include many “mini” wireless keyboards.

Thanks,

Paul has promised to fix this issue by offering an alternative to the Insert
key (e.g., Alt-i, Ctrl-i, ...).

I'm very fond of the Anker wireless keyboards, however, Anker no longer
offers compact 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards.  They only offer bluetooth
compact keyboards.  2.4 GHz wireless is clearly falling out of favor.
