Speaking of ergonomic typing, I’d suggest Dvorak mapping.

Teifion, the feel of the Apple Wireless Keyboard is basically identical to the Macbook keyboard. I personally don’t like hunching over a laptop for extended periods of time, so a separate keyboard is a must for me.

I’m using the standard Macbook Pro keyboard and it’s pretty nice. I have wanted to get my hands on one of the external mac ones and may now make a bit more of an effort.

I've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 at work. I like it!

Thanks Peter. Sounds like I should give a Das Keyboard a try. They don’t have them on display on the shops I’ve visited, and $120 seems a bit much if it turns out I don’t like it.

Regarding the “click”, I did once have an original IBM Model M. I kind of liked it, but the rest of the family didn’t quite appreciate the aural feedback :)

You are definitely right. The keyboard is very important. I am a bit old fashioned. I have been looking for a proper keyboard with hard keys and that satisfying click (like the old IBM keyboards used to be). I've been visiting shops and checking on all the keyboards there. Finally I found what I need: The ultimate keyboard (http://www.daskeyboard.com/), basic, black, with gold wireing and the "click". I chose the one with blank keys to force myself into learning all the keys (finally).

Oh yes, the good old Ergoforce. I have one in the cupboard. Probably I'll never use it again, but I cannot bring myself to throw it away. Same story with my old Cirque Wave keyboard. That's actually what I was using before switching to the Apple keyboard.

If it breaks I’ll fix it – if I pour coke on it I’ll wash it. They don’t make them like this anymore :/
