Are there any keyboards that have laptop style (low profile, quiet, soft) keys, but work with desktops?

yes, there are quite a few. search on newegg for slim keyboards.

Look for the Logitech Ultra X keyboard. The best laptop style keyboard IMO

Thanks, I guess I'll consider that Logitech and the Kensington.

It is the OEM version of the DiNovo keyboard, minus the extra numpad and is wired.

There's also a Logitech USB keyboard for Playstation2 that works for PC. If you have a PS2 around with USB keyboard, try that one.

I have that logitech keyboard and i swear the keys are identical to an IBM laptop. It's really nice to type on, definate recommendation

i've got the playstation keyboard as well. my only complaints are with the lower right corner. i don't like how delete is right there, and the arrow keys are a little squished. other than that, i can't complain for ~$10.

Thanks for the help guys, it looks like I'm going with the Logitech then.

I thought I would update this thread in order to report that the Ultra X is awesome. I have been using it for a few months now, and I find it to be far superior to my old, "standard" style IBM Media Access Pro.
