Range: At least 4 metres line of sight; you can increase the PPK to improve it slightly but it also depends on how the cart is oriented when playing (there can be some dead zones) and if your fingers/body is close to the wireless module.

Refresh rate: Every 2ms, the keys are checked and a packet is transmitted to the receiver.

Requires aditional USB receiver. Bluetooth version is wishlisted and might be developed later.

Steam
