Following on from my other thread, I want to upgrade my wireless keyboard.
Currently have this one:
It's a bit big and the range is shit, needs a giant receiver to get to work as well which I would love to trade in for one like my Arc mouse which has a teenage receiver which can be hidden and Is one less wire to worry about.
What do you all reccomend?
I've seen the Arc one but it lacks a play/pause button and no calc button and I use these a lot.
Halp!

I'd have a look at the logitech range, they use tiny receivers now and are great keyboards.

Dunno what their keyboards are like but I've got a Logitech wireless mouse with a 'nano' receiver and it's fantastic.
Tempted to use it with my MBP instead of my expensive Apple Magic Mouse

Not wireless but I have a G510 and its the best keyboard I've ever had. Next one will be a mechanical one though.

I'd say Logitech as well.
The solar powered K750 is supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it my self.
The K230 looks interesting and is a space saver. D-pad doesn't look like it'll be good for gaming though, if that's going to be an issue.

I like those two. Dont use for gaming and will have the old one as a spare anyhoo should that issue arrise.
Might wander down to PC world and press some buttons. Im picky with materiel and noise from Keyboard. My Microsoft one looks and feels like a quality peice of kit. Lasted since 2008 too so its stood the test of time.

One thing you might miss is the wrist rest, I miss mine.
The solar powered one sounds cool!

I just got a £20 thing off ebay. Works fine for what I use it for which is just to control the PC when selecting movies etc.

I bought mine years ago, thought it'd be cheaper now. Sure I didn't pay this much for it. Was recommended by Doug at the time.

They've probs come a long way since that one.
I actually fancy something like this, though not sure how good they are. Smaller the better for my use.

Been looking at the little ones in the second link! They look pretty cool. Few Youtubve video reviews, seems pretty decent. Rechargable battery too.

...and they're illuminated, which I like (for when I'm watching porn in the dark).
Worth a punt for £20, shall buy one later. Just hadn't before now since it's replacing something that doesn't need replacing.

I bought one of the fancy logitech backlit gaming ones but sent it back because I couldn't deal with the wire.

Apple keyboards are highly rated. There, I said it. Think you can only get the non-accountant version in wireless though so perhaps no good.
