I want to use a keyboard that requires minimal effort pushing down with minimal (if any at all) space between keys. I like the new Apple keyboards, but I want something closer to the feel of a laptop keyboard with flat buttons (the keys on the Apple keyboards are still raised up a bit). Are there any that fit this description? I want something touch-sensitive.

How about a laptop keyboard?

Does that have a USB connection, then? – Nathaniel Apr 18 '10 at 6:12
@Nathaniel: It does indeed. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 18 '10 at 6:18
My only real problem is that there's no Win key. The reason I need one is that I'd map it to Esc for easier use with vim. I can just map Esc to Ctrl, Caps Lock to Esc, and Ctrl to Caps Lock. But, it's a great keyboard! – Yktula Apr 25 '10 at 15:06

The Ultimate Compact Keyboard! The ThinkPad USB Keyboard features an elegant, ultra slim design with the same low profile keys found on the legendary ThinkPad keyboard. This one-of-a-kind keyboard lets you save valuable desk space and is the perfect complement to your ThinkPad in the office or at home.
