Abstract

The invention relates to a wireless keyboard capable of operating with a radiation-based signal receiver of a portable computing apparatus. The wireless keyboard includes a radiation-based signal transmitter functions converting a corresponding key signal into a radiation beam and emitting the radiation beam. The radiation beam has a covered zone. The wireless keyboard also includes a user-adjustable engaging device having a first end engaging with the housing and a second end where the radiation-based signal transmitter is fixed. The radiation-based signal transmitter is capable of approaching the radiation-based signal receiver by adjusting the engaging device. Thereby, the radiation-based signal receiver is located in the covered zone of the radiation beam when the wireless keyboard operates with the radiation-based signal receiver.
