I have an Apple 'chicklet' keyboard and a standard PC keyboard on my desk. To be honest, they're different but, y'know, they're just keyboards. Not really something to get precious about.

It’s all down to how they feel to you when using them. The current Apple keyboards are, for me, far more comfortable and allows me to type for much longer. I used to get pains in the back of my hands on the older more traditionally styled keyboards.

Try using a non-English Apple keyboard - because things like [ ] \ | { } etc. are down to tertiary or worse keypresses ( \ is Shift + Alt + 7), they are not shown on the keyboard, you are left randomly stabbing keys, trying to find them!

Non-Apple German keyboards also have many symbols moved away from their English positions, but at least they are shown - the worst is, Apple decided not to use the standard German layout, so even if you have a German keyboard on the desk, or know where the symbols are on a German keyboard, you won't find them on the Apple keyboard!

Err.. y'see there's absolutely no reason why I would ever do that.
