They also appear to have an apple-specific model (unless this is the one you're talking about): http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/onthestick.html

The one pictured is hideously ugly, though.

I switched from a Model M to the default iMac keyboard (the wired one with the number pad) back in August when I switched to from linux to an iMac and it's taken me until just recently, to get used to it. I still don't like the feel of the keyboard quite as much and have been tempted to buy the Unicomp keyboard many times. That said, I do find it more comfortable than most other non-mechanical keyboards out there.

I've had several offers from people wanting to buy the Model M, but I refuse to part with it, even if I'm not using it at this very moment. I found it years ago, in the back of a storage shed, covered in about a decade of dust, grease, and cob webs, cleaned it up, and it looks practically new and works perfectly. I do so love that keyboard.

You can order a customized version. I have a custom Unicomp EnduraPro with blank keycaps (like a Das Ultimate) and they also reprogrammed it (i.e.: I wanted to swap CapsLock with left Ctrl and Tilde/Backtick with Esc).

I can't recommend them highly enough.
