Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless with brown switches for me. It's reasonably priced, looks lovely, and is brilliant to type on. That the keys come off for washing and brushing out the keyboard base is also a nice bonus.

This is my favourite keyboard, particularly in the poorly-named 'ninja' version where the keys are printed on the front instead of the top which avoids the print rubbing off.

Yes! I love this keyboard, and use it everyday. 10-key-full though, with Cherry MX Browns (also the US layout so there's a real backslash key):
