I have to search long and hard to find one that has that snappy response and "clack" sound to the keys.  I learned to type on an IBM Selectric and I can almost sense through my fingers and ears when I've misspelled a word.  My husband loves the mushy silent keyboards, but I absolutely CANNOT STAND THEM!  I've got a neato one going right now from Saitek that has lighted "clacky-ish" keys...I can choose from blue, red, or purple lights, which is pretty cool because I work at night and it makes me feel mildly psychadellic.  Okay, not like mushroom psychadellic, but I can pretend.  I got mine cheap cheap at Sam's Club, but here's a link for anyone interested in what it looks like:

I was in the same boat.  I tried the Logitech DiNovo keyboard, which has the absolutely best touch on the market that I have tried.  But just right at the month mark, the space bar started sticking.  So I returned it.  I then got the Logitech S510.  The touch isn't quite as nice, but it is very soft.  It is cordless, which is another benefit.  It comes with a cordless mouse as well.  The only "problem" with it that I would change if I could, is that it isn't ergonomically shaped, not big and bulky or shaped with the split shape, but I love the touch.  Not having the keyboard split actually makes the reach shorter, and I don't have the problems there.

Also what I do, ergonomically wise, is I bought 2 of the IMAK ErgoBeads wrist rest.  I use on on top of the wrist rest part of the keyboard, so I can rest my wrists on it, and it keeps them elevated.

The other IMAC rest I use on the floor, so keep my heel from pressing into the floor under my foot pedal.  I use a foot rest, so the pedal is elevated up on that and the pad is on the floor beneath it.  Keeps my heels from hurting.

Hope this helps.

P.S.  Try going to Staples to find the Logitech selections.  I think find they're way superior to the MS ones in their touch.  Not spongey.

like spaces throughout the report to get paid more.  I saw reports at MQ and Sp that had lines of spaces shown on reveal codes between paragraphs where someone either didn't know how to work their expander, was cutting and pasting, or was deliberately padding their lines.

As for typing out abbreviations, I work on an account that doesn't use abbreviations at all.  I use otcx for over-the-counter, etc.

Doc says:  "General. Alert and oriented, no distress. HEENT:  Eyes clear. Lungs:  Clear."

MT types: GENERAL EXAMINATION:  In general, the patient is alert and oriented. The patient is in no distress. HEENT EXAMINATION:  The patient's eyes are clear.  LUNG EXAMINATION:  The patient's lungs are clear.

I kid you not. And there are companies out there that will defend the MT's right to do so. But, would the client's approve of it? I seriously think not.

It's not as split apart as the tons of other ones I've tried over the years, it's wireless and comes with a wireless mouse as well, smaller than most others, and not as high to fit on my keyboard drawer.  I saw it at Costco here in Washington the other day; not sure if they carry it at all Costcos or not. 

I bought a new keyboard, does anyone know how to test function keys?
