Not a fan personally, but know several people that liked 'em and a couple of those swear by them. This has got to be based on personal experience, and not the recommendations of others. Try, try, try before you buy and make sure it's something you really want, otherwise you're buying it for somebody else to buy for $1 at your yard sale...

Like RAMd®d, I used ADB Adesso Tru-Form keyboards for some years. Those followed a series of the Apple flat-split keyboard (can't remember the name now), which were cheaply made and failed. Since then I've moved to the M$ "Natural Ergonomic Keyboard V. 4000." The action is soft, and the letters wear off the keys quickly, but it comes with a detachable front piece that holds it up so your hands point slightly down—much easier on wrists than standard keyboards; see pictures here:

I look at ads for other options from time to time, but all are expensive and not available in local stores for trying. The M$ keyboards are available in Staples.
Way back when, I decided the perfect keyboard would be shaped like a ball, and started designing one, but never got very far.

I've got three of the MS 4000s.
Amazon had them for around $20 at one point.
These are decent keyboards, and a lot of bang for the buck.

i've come to think of a straight keyboard as a worker's comp claim waiting to happed. for my money, an ergonomically correct keyboard is the only way to go for sustained typing day-in and day-out.
