Some great, some not so great.
I've got one of the new Apple bluetooth keyboards and I have to say, that contrary to what I've read, it really is one of the most comfortable keyboards that I've used; a close second to my Microsoft Laser 4000.

I actually have a Mac as well as a PC, but I don't see why not (strangely enough, I've never tried it). The USB keyboard should be no problem; don't know about the bluetooth one though (which is the one I have).

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.

The USB ones, yep. Just not the really old ones (pre-1999) which used ADB.
You can also use modern PC hardware on Macs, which is good for those of us with more than 1 finger on our hands

These still fascinate me
TypeMatrix 2030
InduProofMED
But I want a keyboard that has these characteristics
- wireless (USB-3?, bluetooth, can't we just agree...)
- easy to clean (InduProof)
- ergonomic (TypeMatrix?)
- biometrics (e.g. fingerprinting)
Optimus Maximus looks very cool, but it's more of a superficial feature. -

I've used a couple dozen keyboards over the years.
Currently I use a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard at home and at work. It's not too huge and it's not too thick and it's not too curved.
My work keyboard is fairly unique. When I was poking around in our admin's equipment storage room looking for something else, I happened upon a completely blank version of the Comfort Curve 2000. I grabbed it in an instant.
It's like the Das Keyboard - no lettering. Who needs 'em? I know where the keys are... -

I'd use Das Keyboard... if it weren't for the lack of MediaKeys.
Someone build a DasKeyboard with another row of 16 buttons on top of the Esc/F1-F12/SrlLck row that are bound to MediaKeys, and I'd buy it.
....oh, and with a UK key layout too. The double-height return key is essential

Most machines at our lab use this keyboard. Despite its low price, it feels better than other more expensive models. Unfortunately, it loses that feel after two - three months of heavy use.
PS: Das Keyboard II looks very interesting, I'll order one for testing...
