Looking at a decent modern cordless keyboard, dont care too much about
cost, basically want something that will last for years and is decent to use.

I relatively recently got off my arse and sent for a decent
branded keyboard, instead of farting around with cheapys.
Went for the MS, for no particular reason, after getting
pissed off at how quickly the lettering wears off the cheapys.

Only to find that the MS Internet Pro is already showing significant
wear with the lettering after 6 months use. And significant physical
wear on those keys too, basically the roughened surface is now smooth.

Doesnt anyone do proper double shot injection moulded keytops anymore ?
