This keyboard is not wireless capable. In the gaming community, wireless is unacceptable -- time lag, etc. This keyboard needs plugging into both USB2 and electricity. It even prefers a USB port on the computer itself, not on a hub. If you want a wireless, try the Logitech K350. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of a gaming board but is excellent in all other computer functions.

This keyboard is not wireless. I don't use wireless keyboards or mice for gaming so I can't respond to the second question.

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

There is a small usb dongle that plugs in to the computer. Keyboard is factory-paired with the dongle via 2.4ghz wireless. Range is typical of other 2.4ghz wireless keyboards.

Keyboard & mouse that come with it are wired...but there are 6 USB ports so you could use your own wireless ones. The keyboard does have gray letters which are difficult to see in low light.

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

The key board is USB, not wireless, and I have used it with Windows 7 and 8. I did not notice any incompatibility using Windows 8 with the keyboard.

Full wired mouse. If there is a way to make it wireless, I haven't come across it.

No, this keyboard is wireless, it doesn't have any usb ports to use a cable. C'est sans-fil.

My keyboard is wired. I am not sure that Fellowes comes in wireless, but you could check with the Manufacturer if you are interested in a wireless unit. They do advertise on Amazon with a wireless mouse -- could have keyboard that way too. Hope I helped!

Membrane. Dont' expect any luxury features on this keyboard. More importantly, even though this keyboard comes up as a result for a search under "wireless keyboard," AND all pictures of it omit wires, AND there is absolutely zero mention of it being a wired keyboard in the description, it is in fact a wired keyboard. The "USB interface" is about all it says about how it attaches to your computer, and that's ambiguous at best. I repeat, this is NOT a wireless keyboard.

This is a wireless keyboard: the cable is for charging the battery and can be left attached, as I do mine absent a reason otherwise. Be sure to note the USB unifying extender cable provided, which I have found useful due to some loss of connection problems with my wireless mouse (purchased separately) when the sender is used on a USB port in the computer or dock, even at not too large a distance. However, I haven't noticed loss of keyboard connection when not using the extender, but this may have or have not also coincided with mouse connection problem.

The Keyboard is wireless. Just move the slider in the lower right corner over to "on" and give it a moment to sync with the tablet. That's the beauty of bluetooth. Actually, the answer from nrs83 below is more complete than mine. Good job, nrs83.

It's a standard wireless keyboard. The only "light" is on the USB dongle which indicates the usage of the keyboard as you type when it's connected.

No this is not wireless. As a gamer I would not suggest using a wireless keyboard or mouse as they inherently have delays which may effect game play.
