Important Safety Information

AC-Powered Devices
These precautions apply to all products that plug into a standard wall power outlet. Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or fire or in damage to the device.

To select an appropriate power source for your device:

  • Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your device or that you received from an authorized repair center.
  • Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit (in terms of voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.
  • Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the device (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other devices that are on the same circuit.

To avoid damaging the power cords and power supply:

  • Protect the power cords from being walked on.
  • Protect cords from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to the power outlet, the power supply unit, and the device.
  • Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cords.
  • Do not expose the power cords to sources of heat.
  • Keep children and pets away from the power cords. Do not allow them to bite or chew on them.
  • When disconnecting the power cords, pull on the plug—do not pull on the cord.

If a power cord or power supply becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Unplug your device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. For devices with an AC power cord that connects to the power supply, always connect the power cord according to the following instructions:

  1. Plug the AC power cord into the power supply until it stops.
  2. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into the wall outlet.

Battery-Powered Devices

These precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries. Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed.

To reduce the risk of injury:

  • Keep batteries out of reach of children.
  • Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in a fire.
  • Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types (for example, carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries).
  • Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals on the device; they can become hot and cause burns.
  • Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your device for an extended period of time.
  • Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Disposal Regulations.
  • If battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin or clothes. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush the skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup.

Disposable (non-rechargeable) batteries only:

  • Caution Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with the correct size and type (alkaline, zinc-carbon, or zinc-chloride) of batteries.

Rechargeable batteries only:

  • Caution Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with the same type and rating as the batteries provided.
  • Charge only with the recharger provided with the product.

Lithium button cell batteries only:

  • Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See: www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

Headset Devices

Extended exposure to high volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. To prevent damage to your headset, avoid sitting or stepping on the headset, its cable, or the cable connector.

Webcam Devices

Webcam with magnetic and adhesive mounting. After the adhesive attachment disc has been applied to the mounting surface, removing it may damage the cosmetic coating and/or leave an adhesive residue. Applying the attachment disc next to or directly to a CRT-based display screen may cause permanent visual distortion of the displayed image near the area mounted.

Wireless Devices

Before boarding any aircraft or packing a wireless device in luggage that will be checked, remove the batteries from the wireless device or turn the wireless device off (if it has an on/off switch). Wireless devices can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the wireless device is turned on (if it has an on/off switch).

Keyboard and Mouse Devices

Health Warning

Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including overall health, stress and how one cope with it, medical and physical conditions, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). The amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor.

Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” installed with this device’s software. If this device did not come with software, you can access the “Healthy Computing Guide” at www.microsoft.com/hardware or (in the United States only) by calling (800) 360-7561 to request a CD at no charge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, medical, or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

Radio and TV Interference Regulations

The Microsoft hardware device(s) can radiate RF energy. If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed documentation and/or on-screen Help files, the device may cause harmful interference with other radio-communications devices (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc). There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation.

To determine if your hardware device is causing interference to other radio-communications devices, disconnect the device from your computer or remove the device’s batteries (for a battery-operated device). If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the device. If the interference continues after you disconnect the hardware device or remove the batteries, turn the computer off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the computer was off, check to see if one of the input/output (I/O) devices or one of the computer’s internal accessory boards is causing the problem. Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time and see if the interference stops.

If this hardware device does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it:

  • Relocate the antenna of the other radio-communications device (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) until the interference stops.
  • Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
  • Plug the computer into a different power outlet so that the hardware device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.
  • If necessary, ask your computer dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician for more suggestions.

For more information about interference issues, go to the FCC Web site at: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/interference.html.

Are wired keyboards better for gaming?

Because of the direct connection, wired keyboards are ideal for individuals who intend to stream or game. These keyboards have excellent responsiveness and are not susceptible to interference. You can play with confidence knowing that every keypress will be registered quickly.

Is there anything special about gaming keyboard?

When speed is a priority, gaming keyboards’ quick reaction times can provide players the advantage they need. Response times on quick gaming keyboards may be counted in milliseconds.

Are wired keyboards more responsive?

You won’t ever have to worry about your keyboard dying in the midst of a game since wired gaming keyboards don’t rely on batteries. They also feel that the keys are more responsive, which might be significant for some players, especially those who play first-person shooter games.

Why is it good to have a gaming keyboard?

Because a mechanical keyboard can detect when a key is only partially depressed, you can type more quickly. This can significantly affect your efficiency when several presses are added up over the course of a game.

Do wired keyboards have input lag?

Due to their direct connection to the computer, wired keyboards often have lower latency than wireless keyboards. Yet recently, wireless technology has advanced to the point where there isn’t much of a difference in latency between a wired keyboard and a wireless keyboard utilizing its USB receiver.

Are wired keyboards more secure than wireless?

For security against remote access or disclosure, cable often outperforms wireless. If one can decode the signals, wireless devices can be sniffed, and code may be inserted. A wired device offers a physically constrained channel since you cannot limit the range of radio transmissions.

What is the use of wired keyboard?

A wired keyboard has a connection between it and your computer. A USB connector at the end of the cable connects to a USB port on your computer. There is really nothing that could go wrong with this direct connection because wired keyboards are so dependable.

Are wired keyboards faster?

Wireless keyboards are not as fast as cable keyboards. Due to their increased input lag and latency, bluetooth keyboards are typically substantially slower than cable keyboards.

How do wired keyboards connect?

Attach the USB keyboard plug to the USB ports on the back or front of your computer. It can also connect to a USB hub if you’re using one. Nonetheless, if at all feasible, we advise a direct connection to the computer’s back.

Why is my wired keyboard not typing?

Switch on the computer. Reconnect the computer’s keyboard. Use a port on the computer rather than a USB hub if the keyboard has a USB connector. If the keyboard doesn’t work with the first port you tried, try another one.
