Keyboard are basically meant to be disposable. Some of the cordless ones are expensive though. You may be able to find a cordless one that uses the same keytops as their corded version, so that you could buy the corded keyboard for perhaps as little as $10-15 when it is on sale, then switch the keytops from the corded one to the cordless one as the lettering wears out on the cordless one wears out.
