Keyboard Dilemma

Note: Due to the fact that Keyboards didn't fit onto other tech-related message boards, I have to place this message on this forum.

Yesterday, I found several Wireless Keyboards and Mice at a local computer store. My Microsoft Keyboard has an issue with the right shift key sticking at times and I would like to replace the keyboard to a wireless keyboard. I'm only curious whether or not it would be worth it to go onto a Wireless Keyboard. Or do you think I should purchase a Wired Keyboard (for faster input) instead? If I should avoid Wired Keyboards, these are the two options I have:

* Stick with the Microsoft Keyboard with the Right Shift Key hard to press at certain times (it sometimes sticks) --OR--
* Go with a Non-Microsoft Wired Keyboard in order to address the Right Shift Key Problems

Any help is appreciated. I'm gonna continue to use the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer because it still works.

I have two different wireless keyboards and love them both. I have not noticed any difference as far as slower input. This isn't like a mouse where you need thousands of samlpes a second.

The keyboards I have are the Logitech Freedom (Cheap like $30) and the Logitech MX Duo (both keyboard and mouse). I have had the former for about 2 year, and the latter for about 6 months. I wouldn't trade either of them for a wired keyboard if you paid me.

Forget it. I'm sticking with my current keyboard for now

The subject says it all. I think it's a waste of money having to switch keyboards now and then--unless I'm thinking about going to a Mac.....
