As a non-mac user (and also not a professional in your terms), one of my biggest gripes about keyboards is that full 5250-style 122+ key keyboards (with f1-f24, without a fun/modifier key) are either old (massive & won't fit nicely on my desktop) or expensive ($100+). Neither one has analog volume control, which I use frequently, and windows doesn't make it easy to map them, though the new windows powertoys feature might help. The color is also annoying (older are all beige, newer tend to have beige keys, which looks even weirder), but that can be fixed.
