I've used several -Microsoft and Logitech - and I wouldn't recommend any of them for gaming.  There is a delay between the key press and the computers registration of the key press that while unnoticeable during regular office use is very frustrating when gaming, where a few milliseconds (or microseconds) difference between the key press and the computer's registration of the key press can easily disrupt the user's ability to response successfully to in-game events.

Don't waste a lot of money on one.. if you want to go wireless, I have to recommend the Logitech EX100 keyboard/mouse setup.  It's simple and no frills, and goes for about $30 just about anywhere (Although I got mine a couple years ago on sale 50% off for $15 at Target).

It worked fine, and the batteries would last for a couple of months or more, but it is definitely no-frills, and the batteries always seemed to fail at the most inopportune times.  I ended up going back to wired with a Razor Salmosa mouse (which I got cheap on clearance) and an $8 Microsoft "wired keyboard 600" which actually works great and feels very nice.  I gave my wireless setup to my dad who is still using it with no problems at all.

I just don't see a lot of value in these $80-100 and up keyboards and all that. They just have a bunch of buttons that you'll never use and look all cool and fine but really you'll likely never use them.

THIS KEYBOARD would be cool to have though...

my office thought less wires would be great, biggest pain in the bellybutton ever and now we have a pile of wireless garbage.
