I've been using one of these for several years, and highly recommend 
them.  I have never used a keyboard that was more comfortable to use for 
hours on end.  I got mine on ebay for a little over $100 in about 2003.  
I will say, however, that the escape and F keys are a joke.  They are 
little rubber membrane keys that completely suck to use, so if you use 
those keys a lot, you might want to look elsewhere.  If they don't 
matter as much to you, (the esc key is the only one that really bothers 
me, and i'm used to it by now) you should try one out.
