I agree that PC keyboards seem to be getting worse and worse over time. And what's with this trend toward "chicklet" keyboards that seems to be taking hold in the laptop realm? Anyway, I mostly use older keyboards that have good tactile feel. I still have an old Gateway 2000 programmable keyboard laying around from an old P5-60 (back when a PC was still not an appliance). I've never tried a modern "high end" keyboard like the ones mentioned above. I bet it's a nice luxury. I work with a few people who swear by the Microsoft ergonomic keyboards, but I always have a hard time getting used to the layout. I thank the higher powers that I haven't had carpal tunnel or other similar problems...
