I still swear by the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000[1]. Very comfortable keyboard. I think I’ve gone through about three of them, one of which lasted so long that the little knobs on the J and F keys wore away and I had to score them with an old soldering iron. The split, ergonomic layout is what I love most about it - elbows out and shoulders relaxed. On straight keyboards I feel very hunched up. A version without the numeric keypad would be nice.
I’ve tried the Sculpt keyboard, and just not as good for me. I’ve got one in the drawer as a backup, but I just don’t like the feel of it - especially the spongy escape key (Vim user).
The X-Bows Knight[2] looks interesting to me. The largely standard layout but with the extra thumb buttons appeals. The lack of tenting does not. Tempted to try it out. Want to reduce pinky usage and more thumb keys seems like the way to go.
