I purchased an Infra-Red Keyboard and am very pleased.. My range
requirement is about 25 feet and it seems to handle it very well... The
box states that it has a 23 foot range.  I paid $45 US.

I purchased it from a friend but found the same model at Amazon.com..
It's description is:

Adesso Wireless IR 88-Key Mini Black PS/2 Keyboard,  Binding Electronics
C66772.
