I'm in need of a new keyboard with a budget of less than $100. It's for my PC which I do a lot of programming and writing on. Any recommendations?

Dunno, I use this one (http://www.logitech.com/en-my/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3046), and it has served me well.

I use this one (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=043), albeit, the older version. I like it.

This one http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=014 is similar to the ones I use... which I've been perfectly happy with for the last couple of years.

You could try the uber keyboard (http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-ultimate/) (for real nerds only ;) ).

I use this one (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=117) and really love it. Except the mouse of that set, I replaced it with this one (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=001), it's perfect :)

So you guys are really into the ergonomic keyboards? I've never used anything but the regular keyboards where the keys are all in straight rows..

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I'll look into all those!

I have been using ergo keyboards I can't use anything else any more. Plus as a kid I broke a wrist that never healed properly so using traditional keyboards is a serious strain for me.
