Thank you for all of the replies. I did some shopping today and looked
at both the Microsoft and Logitech products. The thing I didn't like
about any of them was the size. I currently have one of the Dell
compact wired keyboards and one thing I really like is the small size.
All of the wireless keyboards I looked at today were either the weird
shaped curvy ones or had these goofy wrist rests.
I ended up buying a USB extension cable for $13 which will solve my
problem for now.
