I don't have any concrete suggestions, because I always just grab whatever keyboard feels usable that's lying around some local second-hand store. I've also pilfered one or two from work departments over the years (they're always lying around). I had a fancy one for a while with lots of extra keys that activated browsers, media players and so on. It was neat, but as stiff as a board, so I gave it up, and went back to your generic office-type keyboard. All these that I have seen have number pads, and as far as I know that's the only thing that makes a difference to JAWS, though lots of desktop users actually seem to prefer the laptop layout, and it's easy enough to learn. So, while I don't know anything about manufacturers....check the second-hand stores, if there are any around you. The last time I stopped in I bought two keyboards for around $5 each, and now I have a backup in my closet in case I spill mustard all over this one or something. :P

The left and right hands are slightly skewed inward and outward for less RMI, so it is split in the middle. Easy to get used to the feel. I've been using this type of keyboard on all my computers for 20 years. Hopefully they are still available.

Such a keyboard is useful for an environment where one types for prolonged periods. Would anyone happen to have any suggestions?
