Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, if you can find one.

Theres also a newer version of this keyboard with a handy zoom function (works great w/photoshop and text editors), as well as a much more comfortable angle overall. The problem is, for being USB it has a suprisingly stupid design that prevents some keys from working if youre pressing 2 or 3 keys somewhere else on the keyboard. MS also decided to remove the USB hub, which is rather inconvenient.

You should be more concerned with 'how much'.

All I need is a keyboard. Don't particularly care if it was PS/2 or USB or Wireless.

Ive got to play devils advocate here...

The optimus keyboard looks cool and all, but how often do any of use find ourselves looking at the keyboard? Maybe a few times while were learning the layout for a new game, but thats about it -- and even then, if we already know which keys do what, we dont look down that much.
Unless someone uses the keyboard as an actual screen for something, itll be another useless feature once the novelty of having it wears off.

Not to mention the stickers themselves wear off after years of use.

-2xp for that remark.

I just recently bought the Logitech LX 300 and I love it. It's wireless, but it still works nice.

The keyboard is also supposed to come with an sdk so you should be able to easily change the function of all the keys or make macros

Well, he lasted for one post.
For cerium, even that much is an improvement.

someone did a report on it in my school.

It will cost anywhere from 200-500 US Dollars, I believe.

Apparently, they used to be friends. I guess that was before the brain transplant operation.

I have the Logitech LX 300 and it is SWEET. I suggest it for anyone looking for a wireless keyboard. Lets see...ive had it for 6 months or more..and had to replace the battery...twice? or less?

The only thing i'd change about it is where the Insert button is, as it is not in the normal place that you would reckon. Its located were the F1-10 keys are.

A keyboard is a keyboard. You can buy one for 15 bucks at radio shack.
