IDK, but this one is blowing up on the internet with rave reviews by keyboard snobs. I am a touch typist (over 100 wpm) and do appreciate a good tactile keyboard but haven't ordered one--yet.
Thought I'd pass this on for anyone who may be considering getting a better one. If you get one, be sure to post a review.

If it doesn't have a numerical keypad, I wouldn't touch it, tactile feedback or otherwise!
Snobs are everywhere, mostly self-supporting.
The absolute best keyboard I've ever had was a Northgate AT with the function keys all on the left end. As a dedicated WordPerfect jock that was the best and fastest of all. All my commands, from formatting to printing or saving, were done with one hand. Unfortunately the mechanical "clickity" keys were not so very durable. There was a guy in upstate NY who had a nice little business repairing/replacing bad keys. I got tired of paying him.
I'm a bit perplexed as to what makes it "best" - apparently just the right amount of clickiness to the keys?
There's an old saying about the better mousetrap....
I'm with Bill too - gotta have the number keypad. Useful feature.
A good keyboard is a lot like a musical instrument—once you know your way around it, you stop looking and rely on feel. Just as a pianist or guitarist depends on the touch of the keys or strings, experienced typists depend on the tactile feedback of their keyboard to stay accurate and in rhythm.
