Notebook key style keyboard

[myrcgarage]

Does anybody know any good notebook key style keyboard? I know Logitech has a couple, however, they are out of my price range. Viewsonic has one, but it is a compact verion. So, it is missing the arror key/page up/down section. Does anybody know a good notebook key style keyboard that you can recommend it to me?

Thanks

Thanks! When you type on this keyboard, does it feel like you are typing on a notebook keyboard?

the wireless logitech one is a lot like a laptop keyboard.. the one that comes with the wireless numpad and wireless mouse.. the whole thing is like over $100

definitely feels like a laptop and i thought it was the biggest waste of money, imo..

I know what you meant. That's why I didn't purchase the Logitech one. BTC has some, especially the 6300 model, however, Fry's said that I can only buy that if I buy the whole system!!!

I think I found what I wanted. I got the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. It is pretty quiet and it is doing exactly what I wanted. It does have notebook key style. I think it is a keeper for only $19.95.

Ah! BenQ has a couple of those.

Really nice. I own one.

I am using one of these as we speak. I replaced my Logitech Elite Cordless keyboard because I hated having rechargeables around all the time and having it sputter out whenever it felt like it.

The feel of this keyboard is very nice in my opinion. The only complaint I have--and one that will most likely force me to find another keyboard--is that the 'O' key sticks rather frequently. It's amazingly annoying. And for some reason it's only the 'O' key. I have no idea why it does this.

If you don't have this problem, then this keyboard is a nice one. Good feel and nice features.

I read a few reviews on the benq keyboard and a couple reported the same "stick keys" issue. I think I will try out this MS curve keyboard 2000 for a little while and see. It is very quiet so far and I have no problem doing touch typing with the new design.

Thanks for all the suggestion guys. I don't know why companies don't make more "notebook keyboard feel" keyboard. They are much easier on your fingers and much quieter.

I've been using this Kensington for awhile. Its very solid (and heavy keyboard for its size), the keys have a quality (ThinkPad like) feel about them, highly recommended.
