Have you tried an IBM model M or Thinkpad's keyboard? Neither ergonomic. But I am not kidding, I prefer my laptop's keyboard to many other full sized keyboards, also I think my trusty 20+ years old IBM model M is one of the best in general. Maybe it is all in my head more than in my hands, but that is my 2 cents.

Well actually I tried an ergonomic keyboard before and it wasn't bad, except for when I had to go back to using a regular one at other workstations. It was hard because I had gotten so used the ergonomic design. So I prefer the "rectangular" kind since then.

Yes, yes I have. One of my all-time favorite keyboards is my IBM M15: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/obra/8410679346/

If I could get buckling springs as keyswitch units, I'd be using em.

I've tried just about everything: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/obra/sets/72157632594731205...
