The only ADB KB's I know to definately avoid are the:

funky Apple ergonomic split key monstrocity,

and the Apple Design KB.

My favorite KB is the Apple Extended KB II

It's big though, and heavy duty but the keys feel right to me and it doesn't
cause me finger-typoitis when I switch back and forth between the GS, the
Mac or the PC. Plus, there is software out there that lets you program the
function keys! After that, I prefer the original GS keyboard.

The Apple KB II, like this one...

personally drives me bonkers... though it will work.
