Eight Best Computer Keyboards 3

Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000

Microsoft's midpriced offering, the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000, is solidly constructed and extremely quiet to the touch. Some oddities, however, muddy the experience: Why are the Z and Ctrl keys smaller than the rest (particularly the latter, which gets used all the time)? And if you're trying to hit Ctrl-Z... well, forget about it. It has tons of extra dedicated buttons for controlling your e-mail, music, and other software, and the "Favorites" buttons can each be tied to any location/file/Web site/etc by simply pushing on it for a second or so. The included mouse is actually a downside, since it's awkward and laggy, and you're effectively paying for something you won't want to use when you buy the keyboard.
