What keyboards are people using out there?
and would they recommend them for graphic design and web based work?
Has anyone tried the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro?
ps tried the search function but safari keeps coming up with 'cant find the page..'

What specific needs do you have? I'm not sure what features you'd be looking for in a keyboard for graphics or web design. The Matias TactilePro and Macally IceKey would be worth looking at if typing action is important to you.
On the other hand the Apple keyboards are compatible with a wide range of replacement keysets (e.g. from Logickeyboard), which might be nice if you're a heavy photoshop user, for example.

The wood one looks pretty cool. I'm probably more after effeciency than appearance at the moment though. I do lots of Quark, llustrator and Photoshop work etc. So lots of keyboard short cuts involving the apple key (apple+c, apple-s), with a bit of typing
The faster I can work the better
The MS one appealed to me because of the 'ergonimic design' and the additional hotkeys
On second thought though I wonder if the design would not be so practical for keyboard shortcuts because of the lay out?

Was wondering if anyone was using it and if the MS range was functional with Mac (it says so - but I wonder if there were problems that they wouldnt mention)
or if there is one particular keyboard that everyone seems to be using? or does everyone stick with the apple one?

I'm enjoying my Kensington Pilotboard Multimedia Keyboard. It has a good feel, it's lightweight, and it's supposed to work with both Macs and PCs-which has proven to be the case in my own situation, so when my piggybank is full I can use it through a KVM with the Mini I'm saving for.

I use a Kinsington Slim Type Keyboard. It's a "laptop" style keyboard that is great for when I go from my Powerbook to the desktop machine. I do heavy Photoshop work and it hasn't slowed me down any. You get used to the slim keys of the Powerbook after a while and it's nice to have to reaquaint myself with a regular keyboard everytime.
