I'm familiar with the use case for this. I don't want to use the same keyboard for work (typing) all day that I'd use for gaming after work. I also don't want TWO wired keyboards. So if I can have a wireless gaming keyboard that I set off out of the way during work, and then can push my main keyboard (wired ergonomic membrane) out of the way and use the gaming keyboard (wireless mechanical), I have the ideal input device for each use case.

(If the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard came in wireless, I'd get one - one less wire making it sub-optimal when I'm ready to swap keyboards.)

The Microsoft sculpt keyboard is their wireless ergo model

The problem is that those keyboards are bound to their receiver, so if the receiver dies (which happens more often than not), the keyboard is useless.

Yes, I used it for a while. I have a strong preference for full-depth keys over chiclet.
