well the topic pretty much says it all. i built a new rig and am looking to get a wireless keyboard so that i can use my desk when i'm not using my computer.

here is pretty much what my desk looks like:

i probably wont be using the keyboard further than 5 ft from the base receiver so extend range is not an issue. i also dont care about the mouse, i have a mouse i like and will just be using the keyboard. i still game a little so i'd prefer something with no lag.

i havent settled on anything, but heres what i've seen at newegg.
none of them really jump out at me as the clear winner and all of them seem to have been getting some pretty poor ratings and comments from the users at newegg.

I got an MX3200 for replacement of my now deceased MX3100.

I really dislike it a lot.
The tactile feel of the keys are cheap and the keyboard lacks a volume jog dial. The included mouse is not quite ergonomic. Its cheap and used AA batteries (although I havent had to replace them).

For a basic wireless kb and mouse, the mx3200 is okay but pricey. I would get the S510.

remember that im comparing the kit to the MX3100 which was FAR superior.

Check out Microsoft kits.

good luck
