    Im in the market for a new wireless keyboard. I have the logitech vx nano mouse w/ the mini receiver, and I really like how I can leave it plugged in and not worry about it. Are there any keyboards that have a similar receiver? Also my budget is roughly 50 bucks. thanks alot

    I doubt you will be able to find anything that small for a keyboard. You would have to consider using Bluetooth.

    Bluetooth is the route I would take too, there are bluetooth dongles as small as or smaller than the Logitech Nano reciver and from there you can use any bluetooth device.

    If your lucky you already have bluetooth in your unit, most systems do these days except the budget models.

    I almost got one at Circuit City the other day since it was 30% off even though I did not need it.

    Some Examples:
