I have done some research on wireless keyboards. The NUC computer has Bluetooth (BT) built in. But there are two major types and one minor type of wireless keyboards. The BT and the 2.4 GHz (using a USB dongle) are the most prevalent. There is another for gamers that uses a light wave transceiver. It\u2019s hyped to be the best wireless for gamers who get to pay 2x to 3x for everything.<\/p>\n
My focus is on the BT and 2.4 GHz systems. I am not intending to be 30 feet away from the computer to use the keyboard. Range is not a factor. Lag and dropouts are factors of concern.<\/p>\n
User reports are always so much BS, they are never dependable research. Of course, the manufacturer is not going to point out issues. The best reports (but can still have some \u201cspin\u201d) are reviews by high level magazines. I have noticed in the 2.4 GHz USB dongle systems the manufacturer (Logitech) always claim \u201cno dropouts\u201d which is never a feature mentioned in Bluetooth items.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t see any critical difference between BT and 2.4GHz especially for home or private office use at close range. I think either would be a good choice in my application. BT allows pairing between many devices including cell phones and key-less note pads that almost all have Bluetooth built in. the 2.4GHz requires an available USB port.<\/p>\n
