Programming keyboards

This is not strictly about programming, but since I don't give a fuck about non-programmers' opinions: I've been using a Microsoft Natural Something for about half a year and it's been quite nice; nowadays using straight keyboards is pretty uncomfortable.

Now I've been thinking about trying out some ``more extreme'' keyboard solution. Kinesis keyboards are the first to come to mind. Are they any good? Also, what other good keyboards would you recommend?

In b4:
- Model M: I already have one, and I don't care much for it.
- Das Keyboard: I have been able to touch-type for over a decade and I don't need to point it out. Also, I've owned a non-labeled keyboard before anyone got the idea to actually sell them to some losers.
- Happy Hacking: I was kind of interested in them until I tried out a split keyboard.

Das Keyboard is notable because of the technology in the keys, if blank keys were all it had it wouldn't be so costly.

I've seen that before, but has someone actually tried it out before? I don't really mind paying the humongous amount they're asking for if it is good, but I can't try it out without actually purchasing one.

Real men create new universes where their typing is already done for them.

MODEL M MOTHERFUCKER, YOU USE IT?

EXPERT PROGRAMMERS don't type, they just breathe.

I'm pretty surprise someone actually mentioned that useless, overpriced pile of crap here.

You're just mad because you didn't think to post that link.

For a semi-serious answer to >>1, try the Twiddler. Haven't personally used it but from what I've heard from others it's a really neat concept.

My god, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Sir, you appear to have emitted semen prematurely.

Logitech G15. Well I use it anyway.

It seems that very few people in this thread have actually read the OP.
