Just got myself a new Mesh PC. And its the first time I have used wireless mouse and keyboard. Logitech with rechagable mouse. Nice bit of kit but my problem is When playing games their is a lack of feel and the keyboard does not do what i want when I want it.
I mean when playing BF2 I want to run it keeps slowing me down and I cannot seem to be able to use more than 2 buttons at the same time.

Hope I explaned it ok. I never had this with my wired keyboard.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or keytboards that are good for gaming

cheers

I would suggest you try a good quality wired keyboard and mouse for gaming - Logitech produce some nice kit in this area.

I use a Logitech UltraX keyboard and MX510 mouse at the moment for gaming. I'm building a new machine right now, and that has the new Logitech G5 gaming mouse - expensive but well worth it. I'm also experimenting with an Apple keyboard - I've not taken it out of the box yet, but I quite like the key action when I tried one a while ago - it's halfway between the laptop-style keys of the UltraX and a "proper" keyboard.

Also, have you considered a Nostromo N52 Speedpad? I have one plugged in alongside my regular keyboard, and swear by it, particularly for FPS games. Simple to install (USB) no need for drivers (emulates keyboard) and IMHO much more comfortable.

Saitek kicks ass. I have the black one (which afaik is a bit brighter, but no extra keypad) and its great.
