Microsoft makes some of the best designed and innovative keyboards. In fact, most all of Microsoft's peripherals are better made and designed than competitors offerings. (Although I do prefer the design of the Logitech Wireless Mouseman) I've never seen the lettering wear off of Microsoft keyboards under heavy use. The other company that I know of that makes excellent keyboards is IBM. Although I'm not sure of IBM quality these days after the utter fiasco/melt down of competence in their hard drive division that destroyed the division's sales.
