Hey Zep!

I am typing from exactly this keyboard you posted. It's awesome looking, typing is great!

But this *must* be the ultimate keyboard-fi!

It's not good for typing from the reviews I've read. It's more just for show... like buying a diamond-encrusted laptop, you wouldn't do anything with it.

I've been a big fan of the Keytronic keyboards. I've used a straight black one for some time and love the layout, key feel and performance.

I didn't think I'd like the MacBook keyboard at all, but I've ended up loving it.

Microsoft Natural 4000

By far the best keyboard I've ever used. I've tried a lot, and nothing's ever come close. The Ergo may look daunting, but I picked it up nearly instantly (of course, I've been able to touch type for a long time) and it's amazingly comfortable. It doesn't screw with your normal typing habits either - I get about 120WPM on the desktop but still above 90 on the laptop too.

I use the G-15 from Logitech as well. I miss the wireless, but willing to sacrifice for the lit keys at night.

My keyboard is similar, and it basically forces you to type "properly." The Logitech wouldn't be quite as bad, but I think it would impact your typing somewhat.

I use the Microsoft Natural 4000 at work. It's really not that daunting and on sale all the time. Watch Dealnews.com.

If you want a little daunting task get the 508 keyboard I mentioned earlier. That way you can type two-handed (conventional) or one-handed (and keep the other on the mouse). Takes about up to a week of practice, but cool.

I have never really like ergonomic keyboards and didn't really spend alot money on them until I got the lycosa.

Another vote for Microsoft natural 4000. Best keyboard I have used so far. I'm not fond of microsoft hardware but with this keyboard, they strike gold.

If I could give any keyboard I try, I'd be most interested in the SafeType Vertical.

Saitek Eclipse II.

I love everything about it. I don't know how to explain it, but the key press resistance on it feels absolutely perfect. I think TheMarchingMule can understand.

I really want to try the Cherry / Keytronic keyboards. Have heard great things about the response/feel of the keys. While I think logitech's got several nice features on their keyboards, I even use one of their cheaper ones, I don't think their key response/feel is near that of those offered by cherry and keytronic.

Oh my god I love my Keytronic. That thing is invincible.
