I want to buy a wireless keyboard for controlling a
media PC or laptop.

I'm confused on what to get. Should I go for BlueTooth
model or regular wireless model? And why?

TIA

Both have their drawbacks IMO making one no better than the other. Go
for one that gives the best battery life and has a mouse with a docking
cradle for recharging. Try to get them with rechargable batteries built
in.

Wireless devices can be problematic. Maybe you should buy from a
local store, especially if range is your concern. Do not believe
Logitech's (and probably others) claims about transmission range.

I have not used Bluetooth. My Logitech radio frequency wireless
devices have worked very well, but I don't care much about range.

Good luck.

Rechargeable batteries, including built in, would be a waste on my
cordless keyboard since alkalines last for at least six months.

Every review I've read and every personal experience I've heard say that
Bluetooth keyboards and mice are significantly worse than regular
wireless and way more trouble.

So, I bought Logitech MX700 duo. I think they are great and highly
recommend them.

Get regular wireless bluetooth is a pain in the ass.

That's not the right place to try plugging in the receiver....
