Logitech seems to be quitting the corded keyboard business :( I go to
their keyboard selection site, select full sized with numpad and
corded and only two keyboards show up - the one I pulled out of the
closet that I think is too tall and a K-845. I don't have a whole lot
of luck with batteries or wireless, so a cord is a must for me.
