from $29.99
The K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard from Logitech is designed for comfortable, laid-back use on the couch. Plug in its unifying adapter to your TV-connected PC, and you'll be able to navigate through your system with ease, even up to 33' away. Moreover, it has a built-in touchpad and hotkeys for your convenience. Since it's plug-and-play compatible, you won't have to deal with driver installs and such; however, you can install the optional Logitech Options software to customize its key and touchpad settings. Lastly, it's powered by two AA batteries and can last up to 18 months depending on use.
The choice between membrane, low-profile, and mechanical switches determines typing feel and noise. Consider ergonomics and layout sizes (full-size vs tenkeyless) based on desk space and numpad reliance. Available from $29.99.
Keyboards are passive peripherals with almost zero cost of ownership. Wireless models may require occasional battery replacements, but energy costs are negligible.
Common Failure Modes
Liquid spills and physical debris are the primary killers of keyboards. Mechanical switches can develop 'chatter' (registering double keystrokes), while membrane domes lose elasticity.

Mechanical keyboards can last for decades due to durable individual switches. Membrane keyboards degrade faster as the rubber domes lose their elasticity.
