No, I think the case here was something else. He was the only one who
had a cordless anything and it would only work well (but not perfectly)
if he placed the receiver really close. And he was also using it on
Windows.

Its not that they arent well-made. Just that I dont like the soft touch
kind of keys. Another thing I noticed is that most keyboards dont work
well after collecting dust for a while. The M$ still keeps going at full
speed. Ive used mine extensively for about 2 years without a good
cleaning.

One day I might somehow break it in half to find the evil stone that
drives it, sending my every keystroke to some dark land far away.
