Need a new keyboard

My current keyboard is super loud and uncomfortable, so i'm looking for a new keyboard preferably ergonomic as i've heard they are the best in terms of touch typing and long periods of work. I've picked out this this one, what do you think and do you know any other ergonomic keyboards which are highly rated?

I had one and hated it....
If you are a touch typer it will be ok, but gaming on it was a little odd....

The last MS keyboard I had was a little stiff also...I have been using Logitech for ever and have not looked back. If you have somewhere local to go and put your hands on one that would be the best. That way you can get a feel of the keys...

I agree MS keybaords, mice, etc. are best avoided.

Logitech are better, although not as good as the used to be.

Have you looked at this one?

I'm tempted to get one of those. No flashing lights and pointless gadgetry - just good quality.

I'll go somewhere local and try some out before i make a purchase, the Enermax looks incredibly sleek and perfect though.

I got the Enermax one yesterday. Can recommend it. Very solid, easy to type fast and the keys make very little noise.
