Microsoft Keyboard 200

A TKL keyboard running Membrane switches. A wired connection and single-color backlighting round out the spec sheet. Switch feel is personal; try the switch type before committing if you can. TKL frees mouse space without sacrificing the function row.

Its $59.95 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
