I've been using the Icekey for a couple weeks now. It took a little getting used to (keys are closer together than a Macbook and I have large hands). It's got a nice feel; not too mushy, not too stiff. I'd recommend it.

I've had one for several years. It's a great keyboard if you like laptop keys. Though I'm tempted by the new Apple keyboard since I like the keys on my MacBook.

I've been using the icekey for quite some time now and I love it. It feels pretty much like my PowerBook (aluminum) keyboard, which I also love. Basically, if you like notebook keyboards with short key travel, you'll probably like it. One problem is that the special keys like volume require installing software on your Mac and don't work on Windows (I liked the keyboard enough that I bought two -- one to use with my Windows gaming computer).

I'm pretty tempted by the new Apple keyboards myself, though.
