RFC: What Mac Keyboard do you use?
So I have the new MacBook all up and running and attached to my nice 20 inch Viewsonic wide screen flat panel. The problem I am running in to is I am using a Microsoft Desktop 2.0 wireless keyboard and mouse that I used with my old laptop. It is working OK but I am not real happy with the feel of the mouse and the fact I don’t have certain mappings on the keyboard. I went to Mac Authority to look at my options and I would really like to go with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I like the mighty mouse just fine but what was Apple thinking with the new wireless keyboard? It is basically a freak’n MacBook keyboard with no number pad which is annoying. Bluetooth on it is nice it but my word it seems really small.
So my question is: What external keyboards do you guys use? Any 3rd party ones that work well?

I use the new Mac keyboards on all of my macs. Not the wireless one, just the usb one mainly because of the reason you stated. I HAVE to have the keypad on the side. Its hands down the best keyboard I have EVER used. The keys took a day to two to get used to but now that I have been using it for a while, my typing speed has actually increased.
