Actually, Microsoft *has* made a keyboard that impressed me... it had a scroll
cylinder on it within comfortable pinkie reach.  Can't remember what they
called it and I'm sure the new version has the stupid F-Lock key from hell on
it.  But it was a nice keyboard... solid feedback, microswitched keys rather
than the all-too-common three sheets of plastic and a blessed scroll cylinder.
