Logitech Internet keyboard. Nice feel for gaming and the wife like the extra web buttons.

I like the logitech internet keyboard as well (extra buttons are nice, but my only real concern is the I have a full size back space the the |\ key is right above the enter). I have the original though. The newer revision looks even better.

I like Microsoft's "Natural" keyboard. I'm referring to the original model. It's nice and big, with larger keys than most keyboards.

I've gotta second you there Seeko, that combo really is killer, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I have th eoriginal MS Natrual KB, but I think I want to go to the new MS Natrual Pro with the nicely-endowed keys. :) I like pushing the right buttons.

I use my MS keyboard elite most of the time, but I really prefer the feel of my Logitech Internet keyboard.

I prefer very inexpensive and small keyboards like for instance the Mitsumi budgetline. The pricerange allows me to have at least one backup keyboard without straining my economy. With a backup keyboard I can take one of them apart and clean it thoroughly without having to think too much about damaging it in the process. My keyboards get quite messy after a while and for what I've seen other peoples keyboards get messy too. The main difference seems to be that I care about it.

Or I could give a regular grey keyboard a much needed paintjob to make it look nice, while hooking up the extra keyboard in the meantime. If I was to have an expensive ergonomic keyboard as the primary keyboard I would only feel very awkward with going back to a regular one for backup. The size of the ergonomic keyboards is also too big for my taste. Take a regular keyboard, add a wristpad and then you have a solution that is pretty good for your hands. Sit straight, buy a good mousepad with support for your hand (I use Everglide Giganta) and may have done more good to your hands than using a super-ergo keyboard.

One last thing that I haven't tried yet, but am sure that I will. With one of these really cheap keyboards you can take it and smash it against a wall or throw it out the window after loosing a clan-match of Quake3. Although I would love to do the same with an MS Natural Keyboard I seriously doubt that I really could after spending that kind of money on one, or two, given my need for backup. ;-)

They keyboard that came with my 386. It's loud and clicky, but my keyrate was faster on that than anything I have ever used in my entire life.

another vote for MS Internet KB Pro. didnt like their (MS) mice tho. also, i find the window key sitting between the left ctrl and alt very disturbing. i used to have this win95 compliant keyboard with the stuipd key moved up to the del/ins/home/end/pgup/pgdown spot (ya know what i mean) and i actually started using the key not to mention it felt much more comfortable
