I cannot resist:  

The much praised Northgate OmniKey is the *worst* keyboard I have ever
used (I haven't tried pounding nails with it, but I suspect that it's
not much good for that either).

Which leads me to ask:  What is it that so many of you do with it
that you like it so much?  The "feel" is horrible.  I much prefer 
either IBM or my (admittedly cheesly - Made in Taiwan) ZEOS 
keyboard for both writing and programming - nice easy touch, crisp
click.
