I personally don't have a problem with USB wired keyboards. Since the 
keyboard will be located close to the P3/PX3, the cord is not a problem 
for me.  It goes straight back from the keyboard and is routed to the 
back of the P3, so it is not in the way of anything on the desk.

I do use a wireless keyboard and mouse on my media computer, but that is 
because the computer is located more than 10 feet away from where I want 
to operate the keyboard and mouse.

The list of wired USB keyboards that work is greater than the list of 
wireless.
