I use a Microsoft wireless ergonomic keyboard 7000 and I absolutely love it. Cost about $70 and it's worth it.

I use a Kinesis Freestyle w/o a number key pad on the side. I love my Kinesis and would use nothing else.
Kinesis Freestyle - for me too

You can get it for $90 at http://www.thehumansolution.com/kinesis-freestyle.html
I use mine flat, with about 10 inches of space between each half.
Kinesis Classic and/or Advantage - sm

There is a lot of good science behind Kinesis which convinced me it was worth a try. I could never go back to another. I think that I would have never made it 40 yr as an MT without it these last 15. Pricey, but to me well worth it. Bought my 1st one on ebay, second on Amazon and had one of them reconditioned by Kinesis. Still using the same two.
