I'm looking for a nice wired usb keyboard that would work at the same time with a powerbook and a pc laptop. Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

Logitech tends to sell very nice peripherals. I loved my MX500 optical mouse when I still used my PeeCee. I also have used some of their keyboards- all worked very nicely.
Can not seem to go wrong with Logitech, at least not
from my very positive experiences with them.

oh no no. i mean: using it with a mac.. and then my wife using it with her pc laptop. not at really at the same time!!!! i just want it to work with both.
sorry about the confusion.
Another vote for the Apple KB. The only Apple KB that I didn't really enjoy was the mini ones that came with the B&W G3, early G4s and iMacs. That being said the new ones are top notch.

why does logitech's site then have PC on some keyboards and PC.Mac on some others??
I just bought an apple keyboard for my PC. My cheap belkin keyboard started having some problems with a few random keys so I thought I'd treat myself to a better keyboard
Only things to remember are:
-Alt and Windows key are switched
-"Clear" key on the keypad is Number Lock
-There doesn't appear to be a button that serves as an "insert" key, if you're into that sort of thing

I also like the current line of Apple Pro Keyboards that appeared after the mini-keyboard version (which I still have and use).
But, if I had to purchase a separate keyboard then I would go for the $30 USD OS X keyboard or the $99 USD Tactile Pro Keyboard . Both are Matias Products.
Both keyboards are labeled with international characters, accents, punctuation, currency, and other symbols that are available by holding down the Option or Shift+Option keys

Hmm, if you still haven't gotten it yet; I like the look of this Macally Keyboard and Mouse Combo and buy(dot)com has a deal for it for only $19.99 here.dragonball05 said:

the thing is, i've tried the apple keyboard (the system administrator has one) and i liked it... only one question: is it true these get sticky sometimes? that is, sometimes you'd be writing and you get words like thhis. i'm talking about
the newest white apple keyboards..
