Keyboard help

[Will]

Ok, so I think that my desktop's PS/2 ports are dying, since my keyboard will stop registering after about 6 hours of computer use. So, I am looking for a new USB keyboard, preferably wireless and with a wireless mouse (the mouse is not as necessary). I do not want any of the multimedia crap that most keyboards have these days, and I do not want some alien design, just a straight up rectangular keyboard, 107 keys, and wireless. I've searched for a while now, and I just can't find one. It seems that wireless automatically means that you get a bajillion "function keys" offering one-touch access to internet, email, etc., all of which I don't need since it's always open anyway.

So: wireless keyboard, USB interface, no function keys... does it exist? Where can I get one?

Hooray for long links.

107 keys? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif What extra keys are you throwing on there? To hell with that, I say CLICKY OR BUST! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Model_M_Keyboard) - Model M all the way. 101 keys. No more, no less!

If you want wireless get used to the extra features... personally I'm writing this to you on a Logitech MX5000 keyboard/mouse bluetooth and it is k3wl! I don't normally like the extra buttons myself but I find I'm using them more and more!

Yeah, I had a brain slip with the 107, I meant 101-102 (101 -> 102 adds in a keyboard key that maps to a right-click context menu, basically).

Anyway, I was searching around, and finally settled on a 80-key keyboard (adds Fn key, combines some keys like Prnt Scrn with the F1-F12 keys, and removes number pad). It also has an integrated joystick and mouse buttons, which I could see myself potentially using. Linky (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823192001).
