Ok guys, please don't consider this journal spam. I am sorry to post so many jorunals in a short time span.

I had to replace my headset because of that stereo problem, now... my keyboard( Logitech Internet 350) begins to fail. I appreciate my keyboard, it resisted to a 4 year torture. Some keys are failing though. To my surprise, they're not the most used ones(the A-Z keys). But the arrow keys.. which are somewhat equally important. Right now, as an up arrow sits the "del." key from the numpad, because the up arrow key has failed.
Now the right arrow is failing! And the backspace remains blocked sometimes.

The problem is that I am very used to this keyboard now and I am afraid of changing it. My friends have shitty keyboards, so I can't test a high-quality one at somebody, that's why I am asking you. I found though the wireless version of this one, which is twice as expensive. It's the Logitech Pro 2000 Cordless Keyboard.

My question is this: should I buy the same model, or should I buy the cordless one?

Do you have other good suggestions in the approximately same price range?
Remember, I don't like fancy keyboards with a ton of stupid buttons. I like them to be stylish, with as few extra buttons as possible, but they have to be useful(on my keyboard I never use the play\pause, volume or email buttons, but I very often use the computer, home page or mute). I saw some keyboards that are illuminated, but I'm skeptical to the typing feeling(that's why I am afraid of changing my keyboard). There are also keyboards with a scroll for the volume- I accept suggestions of keyboards with this type of extra-controls, but I actually used a keyboard with a scroll-volume at school. The scroll is absolute shit. So yeah, you know what I mean.
Oh, and btw, noticed the layout on these 2 keyboards? I like it that way. Every other layout is, again, absolute shit.

Thanks to anyone who can spare their time for some advice.

How often do you sit across the room from your computer?

I never do that. Well, only if I watch a film or something. But I don't really like cables :D.

Yes its wired, and it doesn't have any fancy shortcut keys, but its lasted for 5 years so far (with no damage except the key paint coming off on my A, Shift, and C keys (yeah I don't know why I apparently hit C so much)

Its back light is pretty nice, it actually makes the keys EASIER to see in the dark, which is more than can be said for most of the illuminated keyboards I've tried. Good for my late night gaming sessions.

Problem is, its slightly more expensive than your logitech there.

"My friends have shitty keyboards"

Shitty? Or just not billionaire junk?

By that I mean that my keboard is kind of shitty too. I mean it isn't so special, without special features or something. But I like it.

I made a haiku about mine:

Keyboard, yes to me
Keyboard whom I love it all
Buttons, keys, for all shines

So suddenly not special\super expensive =/= shitty?

I love your logic.

I have a Z-board, it's alright.
