    I just got a Logitech Cordless Desktop S510. Love it. Slim. Inexpensive. Has everything I need.

    How does the key travel/feel compare to a notebook's keyboard?

    I'm trying to get a thinkpad feeling keyboard.

    Um in the computer room here at work we have this ibm that looks like it was ripped right off a laptop :p its flat with a short throw keys and even has the touch pad on it.

    Not sure the model but google found me a pic of it:

    If you want a really fancy keyboard thats wireless and flat even tho its designed for HTPC it may fit your needs

    I don't have a Thinkpad so can't comment on that, but I have to say that it is, at least to me, a very comfortable keyboard to type on.

    I have to say that I really love it. Slim profile, feels great...good price. Just a great combination.
