I use a [Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite2](http://www.pfusystems.com/hhkeyboard/hhkeyboard.html). Though it's not cheap, I have many reasons why:

- Small: it's half the size of a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper
- Fewer Keys: they've "hidden" nearly half of the normal amount of keys (many of which are useless 99.9% of the time) behind a Fn + Key combination.
- Solid / Deep Contact: it's almost impossible to strike adjacent keys on accident, as is so common with shallow striking keyboards.
- Cross Platform: I use an Ubuntu machine at work and a Mac at home, and it saves me even the slightest bit of mental stress to use the same keyboard with the same key mapping.
- Durable: It's extremely durable
- USB: x2 ports easily accessible on the back. With a very long cord, this is great for desktop machines.
- Pleasing sound: the loud but beautiful sound of the keys constantly reminds me that I am very serious about the writing I am doing.
