Good wireless keyboard to pair with G700.

Thread Starter 
I'm considering buying Logitech G700 Wireless Mouse and another wireless keyboard for gaming, and 7-8 feet away from the big screen (and computer). I'm currently looking at the Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 but it's a bit expensive. I like the positive reviews and illumination which is a nice bonus but it's not needed. I don't really care for macros, mechanical or extra bells and whistles, just a solid wireless keyboard that reliably works within 7-8 feet away and illumination would be nice too. Is there a budget alternative to the Logitech K800?

For I while I used the K750 Solar keyboard. Now my wife and boss use it and it's quite the nice keyboard. It shouldn't have any problem with the 8 foot range and as long as you keep it in the light (sun, lightbulb, etc.) it'll never run out of juice. One thing I must warn you about the G700, is that since it's a gaming mouse, the battery will not last as long as other mice without needing to recharge. I usually have to charge mine once a day. It does come with a USB extension which you can plug in to charge and still use it. Range on that mouse is... ok, though I haven't tested it since I've got my tower like 3 feet from the mouse.
