I'd like to have a keyboard with the standard IBM 104 key layout my employer uses everywhere, but with an ergonomic, tilted shape, a bit like the Microsoft ergonomic keyboards used to have. But of course I'd like to have one with mechanical key switches instead of the spongy touch of a membrane. And a low key operation force please...
So we find Adesso (all rubber, and lousy tactile response according to this review), Microsoft (hardly any better according to smae review), Cherry (no tilt, no tent), Datahand (filthy expensive, and allegedly breaks often, and not on sale any more), ErgoMagic from ComfortKeyboard (Conductive rubber heavy (3.5 kg)), GoldTouch (rubber and nonstandard layout), DataDesk Smartboard (oddball layout and some keys missing), Kinesis (perhaps not rubber)...
After some reading, two contenders remain: the Comfort Keyboard ErgoMagic Sys, and the Kinesis Ergo Pro (or perhaps a Maltron Ergonomic 3D. The combination of the deviant key layout of the Ergo Pro and the need to work on ordinary keyboards every now and then (e.g. in server rooms), I think the CK Sys is the most fit.
