I've used a few dozen keyboards. An early one was the nice capacitance keyboard in the Processor Tech Sol-20. I'm forever looking for a keyboard that feels like that. I'm using a Topre Realforce now. I've tested different keyboard keys by ordering key sample kits through Amazon, and found a couple that feel and sound similar to a Topre. I prefer shaped keys to Apple's flat short-travel keys because my hands can find the home position more readily.

One issue about Realforce: the configuration software for it is Windows only. Also Topre has said the keyboard might not work properly when connected to a Mac. I get the sense after using one for a while that the keyboard gets confused in a minor way, but beyond that I like the keyboard and expect to use it for a few years.
