OT: Wireless keyboards - infrared vs. bluetooth
Which is better, bluetooth or infrared? I'm interested in seeing a list of pro's & con's for each option.

Re: OT: Wireless keyboards - infrared vs. bluetooth
Infrared signals are light waves and bluetooth signals are radio waves. With IR you'd need to have a line of sight to the base station but bluetooth would not have such restrictions. I'm no expert, but I can't believe a infrared keyboard would be better than a bluetooth in any situation except one where strong security is a major issue. It would be hard to intercept an infrared signal but theoretically some guy could be hiding somewhere with a bluetooth receiver intercepting your every keyboard stroke. Imagine all the Pro Tools secrets you'd be giving away....
