I mostly use laptops and the terrible keyboards on almost all modern PC laptops (especially the cursor keys, which are often barely usable) is one of the factors that made me switch to Apple. On my desktop I have a slight variant of this: http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/quickfirerapid/ http://gaming.coolermaster.com/en/products/keyboards/quickfi... While it is pitched as a gaming keyboard, it doesn't have any of the oddities that monicker tends to imply. It comes with a set of red WASD keys, but they are optional. As far as I know, it's the smallest full-size keyboard with proper Cherry MX keys. No layout stupidity either: all the keys are where they should be (pg-up, pg-down, home, end, etc.); only the unnecessary numeric keypad is left off so that desk space is not wasted. Perfect. The only problem is they can be difficult to find, so I had to make do with Cherry MX Brown keys (non-tactile, non-clicky) rather than Blue (clicky), which I would have preferred.
