While choice of keyboard is a matter of personal preference,
I would highly recommend the Ergo-Force by KeyTronic if they
still make it. Its claim to fame is it requires less force
for the keys that will be used by the weaker fingers. I'm
pretty fast on the keyboard, and the Ergo-Force boosted my
typing speed and accuracy considerably.
