I am on a crappy $5 walmart jobby and need to get off ASAP. I have an Intellimouse explorer that I have no problem with, so just a keyboard is needed. I'd like a minimalist wireless keyboard. I've googled for an hour or so and nothing jumped out at me. Honestly the closest thing I've seen to what I'm looking for is a Apple wireless keyboard, and if I could get one without the keypad that would be even better.

Also, will having a seperate receiver for my mouse and keyboard cause problems?

I know you specifically asked for a wireless keyboard, but if you're even remotely considering a corded one, I'd recommend the Logitech Ultra X.

It's reviewed here with a couple of good pics.

I'm very satisfied with mine. I have it coupled with the (corded) Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 and they look pretty good together, IMO.

I was in the same predictament that you are in now. Except I found zero to few wireless keyboards on their own. So I just decided to go with this:

I went to best buy to see what my choices were as I thought it would be a good idea to feel the keyboard and see how they looked and how it felt typing.

I picked up the Logitech Media Keyboard, the keys take so little to push in it makes typing really easy and makes it easy to type much faster. It's also extremely quiet. Looks really nice.

Now that I see newegg's price I see I paided $10 bucks more at best buy.. bastards..

I recommend it, it has a nice feel.

That thing is freaking huge, and is wired. lol, those are the two features I really don't want.

I use the Logitech Elite media keyboard. I love it. The keys are kinda stiff at the beginning but soften up over time. Got it for like 20 bucks, but it's wired.

I just got a Logitech MX 3000 keyboard, and so far really like it. The keys move smoothly and are laid out well. The only bad part about the keyboard is the placement of the delete, home, and end keys. I'm not sure why Logitech decided to play with that area of the keyboard.
