I tried the Unicomp keyboard, but wasn't too keen on the quality
of the keys. It had about as much tactile feedback as a membrane
keyboard. But then again my judgement may be coloured by the
fact that the keyboard they sent me had a fault, and the promised
replacement never turned up :-/

I have been much happier with the offering from
	http://www.pfuca.com/

at US$69.00 they still are quite a bit more expensive than
the desk cluttering models, but still a small part of the
overall system cost, and a good keyboard should last
a lifetime, so I think my fingers are worth more than $20.00
or whatever the cheapies go for....
