How does a cordless keyboard work if you need to enter the BIOS
settings of the computer? Are they worth the convenience?

The presense of a cable connecting the keyboard to the PC makes no
difference to its operation!

A USB keyboard over PS/2 makes a difference - can't get into BIOS!

I should have added, that you can get wireless PS/2 and wireless USB
keyboard/mouse thingies.

.... unless the bios has USB-PS2 emulation mode turned on by

I turned this on using my PS/2 keyboard on mine and it still ignores USB

Should have added - I use a USB keyboard most of the time. Damn that
