I have a Viewsonic KBM-KU-201. It has the shorter keys and a more compact layout than a normal keyboard, its also a lot quieter. I picked it up a few years ago and haven't found a better keyboard yet. I don't think newegg or any of the bigger stores sell it but you should be able to find it on sale somewhere if you google it.

One of my friends had one, but it was some offbrand and didn't really work too well... Not even as well as my laptops. Sorry I can't be much help, just don't get the cheap ones

interesting... I just checked out the link to Zippy.com that atomic posted. Zippy's WK-711c keyboard appears to be exactly the same as the Viewsonic one I mentioned earlier. Also Zippy sells the RF-711c which appears to be a wireless model of the same thing.
