Tempted to Buy this Keyboard

The Matias Tactile Pro is not only an "old school" keyboard for the Mac, but with the press of a button it becomes a keyboard which will type on your iPhone. Sweet - I do a lot of typing here on my Mac Pro and will get texts or whatnot from friends.
$200, though? Bah. I'd take one as a gift, but then again I think anyone spending $200 on a gift could spend it better, too. 🙂
I'm pretty happy with the simple aluminum keyboard I've got. I guess I'm not the keyboard snob some other people are.

I am one that dislikes I think every Apple keyboard that exists. I, however, have found a keyboard that I'm not sure how I lived with before. There are a few different manufacturers that make split keyboards but I only have experience with the Goldtouch brand and I love it. If you are looking for a keyboard that will make your hands happy, this is it. Top notch quality as well. Quite a bit cheaper than the Matias Tactile Pro.

You can make the split flat or stick up a bit in the middle. Browse around the Goldtouch website, it really is a good keyboard. I've owned my v1.0 now for about 5 years. I am a programmer by trade so I do a lot of typing. To me the keyboard is almost more important than the computer.
