Well, it looks pretty resilient, my wife is a keyboard-killer usually (tea to nailpolish, that sort of things), and this one survived the lot so far

£400 on a mouse and keyboard ???

anyway, with that you could just buy 4 apple mighty mouse and wireless keyboards and swap when you kill one?

Logitech do some nice sets, they'd be worth a look. A few of them are Mac specific so you get the proper keys etc.

Actualy I use a few of these:

And they were very expensive. The company was bought out (people & patents and all + gag order... You now know where the 'multitouch' apple tech is coming from!) by apple a few years back but these keyboards were about $500.

And now they are worth /more/ on the second hand market!
(these are everything BUT gaming keyboard btw, but must have programming ones

)
