I've been through a ton of keyboards (I'm somewhat fickle) and I settled on the latest USB Apple Keyboard a few months ago. I was incredibly surprised that I could enjoy typing on what's essentially a laptop style keyboard. Coming off of years of Model M and original logitech G15 usage, the lower travel wasn't something I thought that I'd like. The Apple keyboard has a perfect layout, great tactile feedback, a pleasant sound and aesthetically, it's beautiful (and small, even with the numpad). I highly recommend it to anyone.

Laptop keyboards are nice to type on once you get used to them. I've been using my laptop keyboard over my MS wireless one and it can be a bit hard trying to type on the MS keyboard nowadays since I've been using the laptop keyboard more over the past few months.

Those Dell OEM keyboards aren't bad but I don't really like them. Not really worth paying money for in my opinion.

Anybody else prefer laptop-style keyboards with flat keys over a regular keyboard? I used to love my Microsoft desktop keyboard but now I can't really type on it as fast as I can on my laptop. It's a lot more comfortable for me to type on my laptop keyboard over my desktop keyboard. Too bad I don't really have a desktop to use with an Apple BT keyboard, those keyboards are really nice. I've used them on the MBPs and they're better than the keyboard I'm using on my laptop. Plus I don't make as many typos due to the chiclet keys.

Interesting test, I'm get 40 on my Apple keyboard. Anyone else?

I get around 90-100 WPM on my Apple keyboard, but I make some errors. The best I could probably manage on my old membrane was 70.
