    I like the keys on my Saitek Eclipse, they seem to work good for me. The zero degree tilt is also good for my hands.

    How about the Avant Stellar? Or some of the mechanical Cherry keyboards? Or maybe the Unicomp Customizer? And then there's the Steelkeys 6G...

    IMO, Cherry Cymotion (all, but the Pro, which is scissor-switch) are the best membrane-type keyboards. As for keyboards with Alps switches, consider this Northgate Evolution Ergonomic Keyboard:

    http://www.c-techsys.com/products.html

    It's an original Northgate, and works out cheaper than the Avant Stellar. Personally, I've concluded that the Cherry Cymotion is the best kind of keyboard for me. The keys are oh, so smooooth.

    I'm using the keyboard that comes with the Logitech MX3200 Wireless Desktop package, and I love it. The mouse that came with it is rubbish (in my opinion) though. I use a VX Revolution.

    Have you considered http://www.sundialmicro.com/hiper_hck1k18aus_alloy_aluminum_keyboard_1877_651.html?


    EDIT: I just ordered the saitek eclipse. I'm hoping that's going to be the best keyboard ever. Cheap compared to the other keyboards on here too.

    I have a DiVino Edge and I love it. Great bluetooth keyboard, the battery hardly ever needs charged (like once a month) and I have yet to find a place in the house where it doesn't work. No problems with it as of yet. The price is steep but you can't go wrong with it. Logitech has a winner with this one.
