Heavily hyped and recommended. Retails for $80. Main features: good tactile and aural feedback (clicks), durability, and unmarked keys (which supposedly speed up your typing by breaking you of the habit of looking at the keys).

My Sony keyboard had small "bumps" on the 'f'
and 'j' keys. That is a smart idea.

I am a diehard fan of the IBM clicky keyboard. I could type incredibly fast on that monster, and never mis-keyed. It also made a satisfying buzz-saw racket when you really got up to speed. This definitely sounds appealing.
