Decent wireless keyboard (UK)?

I currently use a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800 on my desktop 'cos it was cheap. I also had been using an earlier MS Wireless keyboard for many years and was thoroughly happy with it from a usability/comfort point of view. This 800 one is horrible though - the keys are too small and close together and the function keys are positively microscopic! It's nasty and I am in need of something vastly superior.

If anyone could offer some recommendations it would be appreciated - I considered a mechanical keyboard but they seem geared to gamers (not me) and are uniformly expensive. I would prefer wireless over wired and something that will accommodate my fat fingers.

Thanks!

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
I use a wired HP keyboard on my desktop PC but I have two Rapoo wireless keyboards with mouse for use on my home and work laptops.
May not be what you are looking for but if you have a Maplin store nearby, it may be worth having a look. They are quite thin (about half the thickness of my HP keyboard) and have good sized keys. There are two versions - one with, and one without, a numeric keypad. Rapoo Wireless Optical Blade Deskset 9060 : Desksets : Maplin Electronics

Thanks Derek. How do you find it in use? If you are typing quickly, does it cause you any problems? Are the function keys a good size? It certainly looks the part from the link :)
