I have been using my Powerbooks keyboard for a few years and love it. I am buying a 23" cinema display and will be using an standalone keyboard. I am trying the standard mac one right now and I don't care much for it. has anyone come across one thats similar to the powerbooks?

Thanks

yup, probably...

i am not sure exactly which qualities you are looking for, but i have seen keyboards from logitech that seem really similar.

i was considering them, because i am just so clumsy with normal keyboards and prefer the keys on my ibook by far (low profile).

the external keboards i saw came in bluetooth versions as well as usb.

A lot of keyboards don't have Command and Option keys. If you're the sort of person who cares about that sort of thing, then your options are limited :(

Macally has a keyboard called iceKey (or somethin') it white, but have the same feeling as the powerbook keys.

links?A quick google of "macally" shows their main site and this (http://www.macally.com/spec/bluetooth/btcombo.html) "coming soon" BT slim keyboard. There is also one made by Kensington here (http://www.kensington.com/html/5463.html) and I have seen that in person in CompUSA and it's a nice looking keyboard.
