    I love my Microsoft Internet Keyboard. It's nothing fancy, and was dirt cheap but the angle of the keys and the attached wrist-wrest make it the most comfortable keyboard I've used. I even bought a second one for at work.

    Did you try taking it apart & checking the connectors?, it's a common problem with the G19

    The best keyboards used to be made by IBM, mainly for their mainframe terminals. From then on, the Thinkpad laptop keyboards excelled. Current offerings from most vendors are comparative rubbish, although Dell ones are not too bad. IMNVHO, of course!
  • Honestly, it has to be the basic Microsoft keyboard.

    But I no longer own a desktop, jut my MacBook Pro now :)

    I've got to say my trusty (no pun intended) Trust SK-1688 is now 8 years old and still going strong, absolutely nowt wrong with it and it has such a nice feel to it I am dreading the day it does fall over. It was cheap as chips at the time and came bundled with my previous pc :) If you want cheap, tesco's value ones are hard to beat (I use one for my test/repair rig), but it pays to try them out first if you can, as what feels right ain't the same for everyone.

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    I'm really pleased with my Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse
  • Hi

    I really like the Logitech Comfort keyboard (http://www.afic.com/products/SP706728.php) but it takes a while to get used to the layout.
