:smilewinkgrin: Just so you dont have to keep searching through this thread... Any USB keyboard will work on here. You must download the latest software from your wii menu, then go to the shop chennel and update your internet settings. And you too can now type via any USB keyboard on the wii.

Enjoy.

Sorry to sound stupid :crazy: but when you say any USB keyboard does that mean any wireless keyboard too? :crazy: . I ask because on the Opera website it say any standard USB keyboard.

Most (newer) wireless keyboards use bluetooth (BT, or some wireless equivalent) to communicate to a wireless receiver that plugs into a USB port. Like the EX110 mentioned above - it come with the USB-to-Wireless module (that you would plug into the Wii) and a wireless KB and mouse.

As long as the Wii side of the KB interface is USB, it doesn't sound like it matters whether it's wired or not!
