Looking for my ideal keyboard

Looking for my ideal keyboard. Musts inc natural shape and quiet as a mouse, like to haves include variable backlighting, corded, and in black.

Any suggestions?
 
I guess there really is no accounting for taste...

.bh.

Rain, rain GO AWAY!!! And don't bother to come back for a good long while...
 
why natural shape ?

even Microsoft scrapped that option saying that it is not that "natural" ... and it was a mistake...

I had an MS natural but since I got my laptop (now I have 2 laptops) I got used to the laptop keys...

Fast typing, quiet, small and it feels great!

so I got myself a Logitech Ultra-X

a desktop keyboard with Laptop keys! It ROCKS!

 
Thanks for the feedback, I prefer the layout of the natual keyboard and it works well for me *shrug*. My laptop keybard is too small and I only use it when I have to. Guess I'll keep looking, not really interested in moding my own. You'd think that there would be a build-your-own option these days.
 
there are only two black natural keyboards that I can think of off hand. Logitech makes a wireless one, and the Belkin Ergoboard. I own the latter, and I really like it. I like the shape, feel, etc. However, it's not lighted, it's PS/2 only, doesn't include anything past the Windows 98 hotkeys (so no volume control or anything), and it's not exactly a quiet keyboard. Actually the sound and feel reminds me a little of the old IBM buckling spring keyboards. (note: emphasis on a LITTLE). Basically, it's black and it's natural shaped, and those are the only requirements of yours it fills. (although, I wouldn't mind finding a keyboard like you describe. sounds cool.)
 
You'll be hard pressed to find a backlit natural keyboard, as backlighting is mostly seen as a feature attractive to "gamers" but most "gamers" don't use natural keyboards.
 
At this point I'd settle for quiet as a mouse and natural shape. Corded is semi-important. Black and backlit - well I can pass becuse doesn't look like that is an option atm.
 
I used to have rubber keyboard and it is very quiet, easy to type in. you can fold it and put it away.
Cost me about 50
