That looks nice for a tablet or something that you'll be carrying around.

Logitech seems to be quitting the corded keyboard business :(  I go to
their keyboard selection site, select full sized with numpad and
corded and only two keyboards show up - the one I pulled out of the
closet that I think is too tall and a K-845.  I don't have a whole lot
of luck with batteries or wireless, so a cord is a must for me.

As I'm seeing :)
