I've come to this discussion a few months late, but I just wanted to
add my strongest recommendation for Kinesis keyboards to Keith's and
Ben's.  Their contoured keyboards have quite simply saved my career
from certain demise:

I can't say that about any other piece of electronic kit I've ever
bought, no matter how fancy - when viewed in that light, it transforms
the seemingly crazy investment of several hundred dollars on a couple
of keyboards into a complete no-brainer.
