One of my colleague is using the IBM USB keyboard with red point. It is almost same as what you have on IBM keyboard. I am using Cherry G80-11900 mechanic keyboard with touchpad.

You're right that it is expensive, but might be a good solution. ajax, joe: I love a good model M, but (unlike ajax) I do feel that I type more quickly and with less wrist motion on a good ergo keyboard. And moving from back to an ergo keyboard last was *huge* for my back pain. Sadly, it doesn't look like the rollermouse and a MS-style ergo keyboard would be very compatible- you'd still end up moving your wrists and shoulders a lot. Simon: eeeenteresting.

I have one of those at home and it rocks. Slightly lighter than a standard Model M since it doesn't have the steel backplate, but the buckling spring action is just as good as the originals. On the subject of ergonomics: I've never been able to type efficiently on an ergo keyboard. But, when I switched to a Model M at work, my hands stopped hurting. I have only speculation about why that would be so, maybe the firmer action reduces the amount of fine muscle twitch you need to do or something? All I know is my hands don't hurt at the end of the day. Might be worth trying. Joe is completely correct. I have one of those at home and it rocks.

It actually works really well, and you can continue to use your prefered keyboard. http://www.contourdesign.com/rollermouse/ However, I'm looking at the website now, turns out they are actually quit expensive. I got mine for free from my dad :P I used a Rollermouse while programming for a while. It actually works really well, and you can continue to use your prefered keyboard.

It's great. No keypad or Windows key but those are both bonuses in my book. I think it's also known as a 41A5161. It's doesn't have quite the great feel as my Thinkpad, alas, but it's close enough.

That way, I don"t have to move my hand, too far. I have a MS ergo keyboard (was the only cheap one I could find with a USB-plug) and a Logitech trackball.
