I really like my Logitech Ultra X. It's an OEM keyboard and not available in stores. I got mine at Newegg for about $20. For me the tactile scissor switch i.e laptop style keys are preferred. It is one of few modern keyboards that don't try to _improve_the layout. It's a straight PC104 layout. Now if I could just get X Windows to use the media keys. I mean to hook up one of those new Apple keyboards real soon now. They are so so sweet! http://www.apple.com/keyboard/ They are available in wired and wireless. And if you really like tactile response, the one true keyboard is the IBM Model M. It also doubles as a weapon for beating burglars who invade your home. Later, Jason
