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

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'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.

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.
