Seconded. The best keyboard I ever had belonged to a third generation IBM Thinkpad. When I saw the Thinkpad keyboard on amazon, I jumped on it. The trackpoint takes a bit of getting used to but it is really great for programming because your hands can remain in a single position and it'll help conserve energy and alleviate strain. This is the one I bought, is this the same one? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ONCC6G/B004D9R9OM-20 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ONCC6G/B004D9R9OM... Apparently they removed the touchpad in this later model but improved the stickyness of the keys (some folk complained about the keys being mashy in the 1st generation.) I kind of would have liked a trackpad but the trackpoint does suffice, it's just really hard to get used to after years without one!

That's the one. Mine doesn't have a touchpad either. I don't like having to move my hands away from the keyboard to use one so it's ideal.

  Right, stationary hands means less energy expended means less stress and less strain. It's just tough to get used to the "nub", it's like learning how to ride a bike at the age of 25, hehe :-)
