It's a "Great Quality Mini-Keyboard" from Fry's. $20 when they go on sale, $27 otherwise. I also use a gel wristpad which feels like a giant strip of flesh. Very comfy. I chose this keyboard over the happy hacker due to its very short key travel, which saves wear on my wrists. I've had it a little over a year and although I had to lubricate the backspace key, everything else about the keyboard is great. I don't look at my hands when I type, however, the letters on this tend to rub off after heavy use. If you're not a touch typist, this may not be the keyboard for you. Paul.
