I spilled some water on my keyboard this morning and it $hite th bed. now I'm back to the OEM apple board that came with my G4. is there a place out there that has a review of keyboards out on the market that have features that work with a Mac? I had a micro$oft ergonomic Keyboard (the one that crapped out) I liked it a lot, but I don't have to have ergo again (but its nice, I have big hands) Do you guys have any favorites or recommendations?

A week or two ago Slashdot linked to a set of keyboard reviews, but I don't remember anything poping out at me when I skimmed thorough it. Then again I haven't seen a keyboard review yet that has covered tactile responce on keyboards (which to me is the most important factor in a keyboard)
The flexible rubber anything-proof keyboards out there suck horribly IMHO. I'd rather key in binary than use one of those on one of my main systems.
My favorite Keyboard of all time was the DataDesk Mac 101, mine finally gave up the ghost and I haven't tried the newer 101e model. I've been using an Adesso Tru-Form (might be the Nu-Form, it doesn't say on the bottom) and it's not too bad as dome-switch KBDs go, but the Alps mechanical switches on the 101 were far superior. I think it's DataDesk that has a different layout KBD that might be good for large hands, but if you're an accomplished typist, you probably won't want to switch.
Are you looking for USB, I prefer using my older ADB keyboards with a USB adapter, there are AT to USB adapters that should allow you to use any old IBM comatible KBD on a USB Mac. Some of the links are down, but there are still some interesting KBD sites about 40% of the way down the page if you click "Classic" in my sig.
