i spilled some water on my macbook and now a couple of the keys don't work and some letters are typed on their own when i clicked certain keys. besides that the computer functions completely fine…if i were to order a new keyboard such as the one in the link below would the problem be fixed?

Im wondering – I currently have a wireless router set up at my place, and the box says its 2.4GHZ.
Now, I am planning on buying a wireless RF keyboard that says its connecting on the "2.4GHZ ISM" radio band frequency.
Now is this going to affect my wireless net speed? Will it cause the connection to drop?
I need a wireless keyboard WITH a built in trackball or touchpad – and so far, the only ones I can find are RF ones, I havent found one with bluetooth yet.
Thanks!

Where can I find reviews and opinions online for Kensington Slimblade Trackball Expert Mouse USB 2 0 for PC

4.0 out of 5 stars good …but not perfect, March 16, 2009

I've been using the Slimblade Trackball for about a week and I do really like it. Unlike others that have reviewed this product, I was fully aware the SlimBlade Trackball was more of a "consumer" level product from everything I've seen and read about it . even the rep from Kensington said that it augments their line and is not a replacement for the Expert trackball. It's very smooth and it makes almost no noise except for when using the scrolling function, which purposefully clicks.

Linkin Park have been major players in the music industry for a while now and have earned themselves an army of fans. Fans which undoubtedly will be going to see them and 10 other rock bands on Tuesday at this year’s Projekt Revolution concert at the state fair’s Mohegan Sun Grandstand.
Chester Bennington, singer in Linkin Park, said that two stages of music were easy to fill. He also said,
“honestly, I think there are a lot of bands that are really good right now. not that there ever have been more bands out that aren’t good, but I think people are kind of in the mood to just experiment and play around and try to reinvent themselves every time they come out and try to do something new and different, and I think that’s resonating through all of music, not just rock music, but I think hip-hop music is evolving and country music is evolving and crossing over in ways it hasn’t really done before.”
Gerard Way, lead singer of my Chemical Romance has claimed that Linkin Park were one of a few bands to spark MCR’s musical pursuit. Speaking at a teleconference, Way said,
“But coming and starting a band, it was almost like this anti-ambition thing out there,” Way said. “and that was extremely frustrating for us even back then. So I think that is kind of why, at least from our perspective, our growth spurts have been so dramatic with each record. … We felt we had to make up for a lot of lost time of making ambitious records. Like Chester said, it is a really exciting time in music for that reason.”
Chester Bennington has said that Linkin Park is 100% behind benevolence and education. Linkin Park started Music for Relief, an organization that helps raise money after natural disasters. He said, “we felt that we were in a position where we could actually do something. and now with the question arising, does global warming have an effect on the increase of a lot of these natural disasters, I think that it’s important to raise awareness.
