Rechargeable Batteries
I’m going to take this necessary plunge into getting rechargeable batteries for all of these wireless devices I have that require batteries.
I have nine wireless keyboards and mice that I use all of the time to cut down on all of the wires I need in my computer room. You may say hey why not use a KVM but a KVM still requires wires from the system to the KVM.
I actually do use a KVM but strictly for the monitor out puts, plus if people want to come over and play multiplayer games using my systems or do something else that would require me to unhook them from the KVM if I wanted to access another system on the KVM switch without using remote desktop network access of some type.
Back to the rechargeable batteries I also will slowly work them into the mix for my remote control devices as well.
Supposedly with these NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries have 50% more power than NiCad batteries and do not suffer from memory effects. Also, Unlike NiCad batteries, NiMH batteries do not use heavy metals that may have toxic effects. (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/NiMH_battery_pack.html)
