http://www.rm-r.net/~masque/cam/keyboard.jpg is the one I use.
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.
