Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite

This is 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 $279.95 price tag places it squarely in premium territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current keyboard prices across retailers.
