Yes, I believe you can buy just the keyboard.

One word of caution... I suspect Gyration may have a problem with 
quality control... I had to send my keyboard in for RMA twice after it 
died within a week or two, then died again after they "fixed" it.  After 
the 2nd RMA they sent me a different unit, which has been working OK for 
a few months, though it doesn't get a lot of use.  At least one other 
person I know of had a similar problem (keyboard died quickly).

Other than that, I like it, though it was a bit expensive.  I think 
there are cheaper RF keyboards out there.
