Somebody posted this question ealier this week and didn't receive much response so I figured I would ask again. As nice as the Apple Pro keyboard looks, it's a little too mushy for my tastes. I frequently miss letters when typing fast on it. Can anybody recommend a keyboard that offers more positive feedback when typing? I use a logitech on my pc and it isn't bad. I was wondering how well they work on Macs.

TIA
Josh

I've been impressed with the new kensington keyboard in a box usb. goos, basic keyboard, with all the keys in the right spot, good feel, and an excellent price.

Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

I just returnd a Logitech keyboard. It's really good and it's got great OS X drivers. I only returned it because I'm so used to the Pro Keyboards.

I've bought a MS Natural Pro keyboard, and it's not what you want. So don't buy this. It's very noisy, and the so-called ergonomic design is imho not very ergonomic.

Interesting. I used an MS Natural Keyboard Elite at work for over a year and absolutely loved it. It was very ergonomic for my hands/arms/body. The only reason I don't have one at home is because I refuse to have beige hardware on my desk.

Until we get a 3 lbs sub-PowerBook, the 12-inch PowerBook will do.

I have a logitech and it works well. feels great when typing. I spilled coffee on our imac's (flat panel) pro keyboard and it is completely hosed. So I dropped by wal-mart and picked up one a logitech. nice.
