If you do a lot of typing, and you're serious about it, I recommend spending the money and investing in a good keyboard.
This thread documents my hesitation to spend the money on a mechanical keyboard, but once I finally did, there's just no going back. Typing on it is effortless compared to the crap I was use to. I noticed that I can type much faster and with less errors on my mechanical keyboard versus the shitty membrane pack-in keyboard I have to use at work. It's a night and day difference.
Corsair K70:

There's also the K65:

The K70 was worth every penny to me. I was worried that it wouldn't be as good as I was hoping, but it is. You can further justify the price by knowing that it'll last a long time. Instead of making this same thread 2, 3 or 5 years from now, you'll just be smiling at your K70.
The back lit keys were something that I thought I would never care about, but I ended up really liking them. I didn't realize how often I would use them at night or early in the morning when the room is dimly lit. The red is a perfect color, too. It's bright and easy to see, but subtle at the same time. It's a darker red, so it's not as piercing as some LEDs can be. The three brightness levels help as well.
