    Default Ultra thin, compact laptop style keyboard?

    I'm on the lookout for a new keyboard that fits the above description. Ideally, although not essentially, I'd like it to have backlighting. It must have keys to move back and forwards between web pages, as well as a key to start the web browser/return to home page (my current keyboard has them, so I'm used to them). Wired would be preferred - and nothing stupidly expensive. Any suggestions?

    Edit: My current keyboard is this one:



    The Microsoft Curve. Great keyboard, but it's always been a bit too big for my desk and the A, D and S keys symbols are almost entirely worn out (WASD, you see - although the W is hardly worn at all). So, I'm looking for one that has the Curve's functions, but is more compact. A laptop style action would be good but isn't essential.

    Logitech Dinovo edge

    I've used it for a couple years, it's extremely thin and light, has excellent smooth keystrokes and a touchpad to control your mouse, battery life is exceptionally long and it has Bluetooth. Unfortunately it's quite expensive but it is practically perfect so...

    Don't these laptop style keyboards come wired?

    Edit: That one you linked to is rechargeable, so maybe that would do, but $179 for a keyboard? That's over £100. If that's how much it costs to get one of the really thin ones, forget it! Thanks for the replies anyway.

    The Arc looks like it might be worth a look.
