I bought a Saitek gamers keyboard. It's backlit so I can play when the missus is asleep and the keys are sooooo quiet. I love it.

Funny. I went the exact opposite direction. I used to LOVE the heavy old Northgate keyboards with the tactile feel. They are similar to the IBM keyboard that came with the original PC. It's a hunk of metal that is anything but quiet (luckily my office is on the other side of the house from our bedroom). I kept my old Northgate KB around for years and years. When it finally quit on me, I moped for a week until a found the company that bought the design and was producing them once again. They are expensive, but I wouldn't dream of using anything else.

I like this one better (I own one).

MS internet keyboard. Now if I would just start using the keys that have internet functions I would be set. Only problem is I have a bunch of keyboards at work that aren't like that one, so I don't want to get dependant on quick physical keys and then have to think on other keyboards (he said universally).

Yep, I´m follwing this one for quite some time now. Sadly it won´t be out before 2006.

Definetly going to buy one, or one of the rip offs that will soon follow [;)]

I'm not sure, but I got it with my 2.8G some time back. It's a real honey since so much of the internet is on the keyboard if you want to use it that way (mail, forward page, back page, home, favorites, etc.).

I'm happy with my MS Natural keyboard. Took a while to get used to, but now I find normal keyboards annoying.
