Regarding media/macro keys, I use an autohotkey script to map Win+[,],\ for volume down,up,mute... don't really miss the play/pause (spacebar usually works for that). Which covers my own 98% use case.

I prefer the buckling spring click/feel over most of the keyswitch keyboards I've tried... if I went that way, would lean towards cherry browns, but that's just me.

AHK sounds nice, but I'm on Linux, so I make do with xbindkeys.

Agreed.. I'm actually on osx mac and linux daily.. more osx at work, more windows/linux at home. Most of the time, I just use the gui tbh. my htpc is ubuntu, and that has a wireless keyboard better suited to the job, with media keys.
