I use a Lenovo Thinkpad keyboard. They're widely accepted as the best laptop keyboards, but also available as a USB device for desktop use. I find a short-stroke keyboard less tiring and like having a consistent experience across desktop and laptop. The trackpoint is very useful for keyboard-dominated workflows where the mouse is used only occasionally.

Trackpoint is actually more accurate and efficient than mouse. So even if you shift to mouse-heavy workflow for some tasks, it's not a problem. Unless you're not really familiar with trackpoint (or you're unlucky and drifting problem is hitting you often, but that's another story).
