All Keyboards

The Bottom Line: Although you don't get a price break by buying the package instead of the individual devices, we still consider this one of the best mouse and keyboard packages on the market. It combines an even better version of our favorite mouse and an equally adept keyboard at a very reasonable price.

Specs: External, PC, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Laser, Mouse

The Bottom Line: The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit makes for the best text-entry option for chatting and messaging on the Xbox 360.

Specs: Game console, Keyboard, Wired

The Bottom Line: The keys on the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard are comfortable to use and emit a satisfying click, but it lacks convenient features we've come to expect from a PC keyboard. Nevertheless, we think this Logitech is a practical, affordable, and convenient keyboard that manages to look sexy at the same time.

Specs: External, PC, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wired

The Bottom Line: The Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii is a capable and comfortable keyboard for anyone who's doing a lot of text entry on the Nintendo game console, but it's not a must-have accessory.

Specs: External, Game console, AA type, USB, Keyboard, Wireless

The Bottom Line: Microsoft's Wireless Media Desktop 1000 will provide you with a perfectly capable wireless mouse and keyboard for a more reasonable price than its competition. We just wish Microsoft would give more thought to the design and overall feel of its hardware.

Specs: External, PC, Mac, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Optical, Black, Mouse

The Bottom Line: It's hard to get too excited about Logitech's basic Cordless Desktop S520, but on close inspection, a few design elements help it stand out. If you typically find keyboard hot keys a good idea that's poorly implemented, we think you'll like this mostly well-designed mouse and keyboard set.

Specs: External, PC, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Laser, Mouse

The Bottom Line: In the Windows world, Logitech's diNovo edge easily beats its clunky keyboard competition. Against Apple, it stands out a bit less. The Mac Edition of the diNovo Edge is still a better keyboard overall than the iMac's default model, but not enough to justify its high price.

Specs: 16.1 in x 8.3 in x 0.4 in, 2.1 lbs, External, Mac, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Keyboard, Wireless, Black, Touchpad

The Bottom Line: As impressive as we find the Optimus Maximus keyboard in concept, the $1,600 price tag overwhelms its real world benefits. We can only recommend this keyboard to those most charmed by this unique keyboard's novelty.

Specs: 21.1 in x 6.8 in x 1.5 in, External, PC, Mac, USB, 4 pin USB Type B, Keyboard, Wired

The Bottom Line: Typing purists, gamers, and computing old schoolers will love the Das Professional Keyboard and its satisfying mechanical switch design. Most casual users, however, will balk at the $125 price for such an otherwise spare input device.

Specs: PC, Mac, Hi-Speed USB, Keyboard, Wired, Glossy black

The Bottom Line: The Kinesis Advantage Contoured Keyboard requires a significant investment of both money and time, but those who make the investment will be rewarded with a more comfortable typing experience.

Specs: Keyboard, 16.5 in x 8 in x 2.9 in, External, Keyboard, Wired, Black, QWERTY / DVORAK
