Advice -

I want a new keyboard. I am currently using the Apple Pro Keyboard that came with the G5s. I will likely purchase another of the same, but wondered if any of you have a keyboard that you think is the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas, the real-deal Hollyfield, da bomb, 2 legit 2 quit, sweeter than shit, the cat's meow, all that and a bag of chips, wicked awesome, fuckin' cool, or however else you use your adjectives to describe the zenith of your experiences.

Remember - I like substance - but not outdated substance. No wireless suggestions please, as they may be 'tight as fuck' to you, but I don't want 'em. Full-size keys - I looked at Das Keyboard, but am not ready to memorize all the characters on the keys ... lol

Oh, and thanks in advance. You (the collective, not the individual) always come up with some savory shit.

Well, I don't know if it's MAC compatible, but I'll throw this out there:

Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard with LCD screen and 6 extra buttons. It's full-sized and I plan on getting one for myself. It's USB and full size. Oh, and the keys are back-lit.

thanks - I am using a PC however - and I can make teh Apple keyboards work on teh Vista ... lol

I was considering the Logitech - keep digging! I just looked at the Matias Tactile Pro 2.0 and teh Unicomp IBM M clone ... lol too much info about key switches AIEEEEE

Logitech has always been good to me. I'm still using a Logitech Lithium Ion mouse (the original MX Laser) and it has lived up to all expectations and more.

I have a friend who uses the Logitec G15 and he swears by it. I've used it a few times and it's pretty sweet. My old gateway keyboard is also pretty awesome.

How is the action on the G15? Mushy? Flat? Springy?

but didn't tested it :(

Damn. That's badass Che, but I'm willing to bet he doesn't want to spend $460 USD for a keyboard. It's still top of the line though. I want one, I just can't afford one :)

I have the G11 not the G15 (no LCD display). Very happy with it.

I'll sell you my keyboard. It's been with me through think and thin, and it's never let me down. I'll give you a really good deal on it. Here's a pic of it.

I agree with Nooby that the old Gateway keyboard that I have had for about ten years is pretty decent. I have not tried any of the new ones. The school buys HP exclusively, they are less than a mile away. I like the Logitech keyboard that the old lady has, but I do not use the desktop unless I am doing taxes. That is only once a year.

I can vouch for the G15. Amazing keyboard! In fact, all of my messages on Noobsters have been created with it!

HTH

:)

thanks all for the advice -- now it is time to make a decision.

I'm thinking this one (http://www.uberreview.com/2007/11/huzzah-for-the-worlds-most-impractical-keyboard-mouse-combo-ever.htm) might be the answer - but it might make pr0n surfing and enjoyment a bit more difficult ... lol

I got my G15 today (2 days from ordering (with ground shipping) and it's here already). I have to say it's a very comfy keyboard. VERY similar to my Logitech deluxe 250 keyboard, except the keys are just a touch spongier. The lcd display rocks even when you're not playing a game, too. It shows Winamp, Clock/calendar, stopwatch (haven't tried messing with that function yet), and cpu/memory usage.
