Microsoft has been manufacturing (or licensing the manufacture of) keyboard, mice and other quality peripherals for quite sometime. I use the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 at work. Its an oldie, but a solid keyboard. Only downside is that its USB and not wireless. Enter … the Wireless Comfort 5000 Keyboard

It comes with the bluetrack mouse, however, I use the Habu Laser Mouse (OMG what an awesome mouse) so that’s a backup. The keyboard, however is absolutely great. As always there are programmable keys you will never use, but the media controls are convenient. Although the keys are light, there is a nice ‘clack’ when typing. the palm rest is not just a soft surface, there is a nice diamond pattern that allows your palm to grip it for intense typing sessions!

I cant really speak to its gaming capabilities. Although it is not built specifically for gaming, there is nothing about the keyboard that would make me think it would suffer in a gaming session.

All said, this is a quality keyboard.
