So right now I'm using a Logitech MX Revolution mouse, which I absolutely love. My keyboard, though, is a pretty simple wired Logitech unit. It works fine and I don't normally care about wired vs. wireless on keyboards, but in a few days I'll be getting an HDTV and I kind of want to have a wireless keyboard available so I can control my computer from the couch if need be.
I looked at NewEgg figuring I'd pick up a basic model for $20 or $30. Learned that NewEgg doesn't sell a single wireless keyboard that doesn't include a mouse. Now, there are plenty of cheap ones available, so I could probably just get one that does include the mouse and not bother to use it, but that seems like a waste. And since most of these combos use a single receiver for both, I can't even sell the mouse, or even give it away.
So what are my options? Am I just looking in the wrong place? Are the only standalone wireless keyboards really expensive? I'm not looking to spend more than about $40 on this. I know there has to be something available.
Oh, and since it'll be used for controlling a PC as part of an entertainment center, I guess I'd like it to have a volume control knob or buttons. My current wired keyboard has that and it's really useful. But that's pretty much the only specific feature I'm looking for.
