The latest flat aluminum Apple external keyboards are the best I've ever used, and I've been a keyboard snob for decades.

I can't stand them myself. But other people I work with use them more regularly than me and seem to love them.

No proof of anything, but possibly more useful data.

+1 I LOVE this keyboard- only wish the wireless one had a numeric keypad also

ask anyone occupational therapist if the apple keyboard is recommended over, say, the kinesis advantage pro. if you aren't using a kinesis or one of its real competitors right now, you are not a "keyboard snob"

the apple keyboard:

- has no discernable key travel

- is not split and contoured

- is too small

its probably the biggest ergonomic nightmare out there. fortunately few people actually use them after buying the computer

But if I can fly on this keyboard (and the ones like it such as the MacBook Air) with no problems for years, why should I worry about the "ergonomic" keyboards?
