After years of laptop-only life, I kinda like the feeling... any keyboard that replicate this in a desktop layout?

There is a Benq with notebook style keys that a lot of people really like. Newegg seems to have a hard time keeping them in stock. Zippy makes good ones too. The DiNovo is nice but it is more like a trophy wife than a practical purchase.

Ibm makes a USB version of the thinkpad keyboard....

Just as dorked up as the thinkpad keyboard though, it's a love hate thing, the devoted love it...

The closest to a laptop keyboard is the Logitech UltraX - flat, limited travel keys, and it even sounds like a laptop. Very nice keyboard - I had the Saitek Eclipse mentioned above, as well as many other logitech wireless, and frankly the UltraX is the best that I have used. Picked up one for work as well as the one I bought for home. And it's CHEAP...amazing value, really.

Yeah.. I like the flat. limited travel keys, as Future Schock said... but I am not looking for a small, cramped keyboard with laptop-like setup.
I know DiNovo is like that, but the price is kinda ridicolous, plus I would prefer a wider keyboard over a bluetooth one.

Another vote for the Ultra X. It has a proper full-size layout and not a lot of goofy extra features. I've had one for close to 2 years now and it's excellent. I just bought another from ZZF as a gift. $21 shipped 2nd day.
