I usually like low-profile keyboards, but the Kinesis Freestyle has nice, smooth action on the keys. I use one of these with the VIP addon at work, and absolutely love it. I tried the Kinesis Advantage as well, but there were some things I just did not like about it.

Oh, and I type the Dvorak layout. :)

Bought some more boards :frowning2:
 
Currently have 3 Filco Majestouch keyboards - one fullsize black, two tenkeyless (one brown & one blue).
 
Bought a fullsize with browns from a guy on geekhack yesterday, and ordered a tenkeyless Majestouch 2 with reds from amazon/the keyboard company just a few minutes ago :x

Well the topre boards aren't filcos, but I do want to try at least one...I'm not particularly interested in the HHKB though.  I did want a shiny blue filco but I don't need another brown or blue switch keyboard atm.  Hopefully elitekeyboards gets some fullsize leopolds in soon though, I might buy one for work so I don't have to leave a relatively pricey board there.  The $99 pricing on the tenkeyless ones is great - much cheaper than the filcos.
 
Anyway, I need a new avr and subwoofer so no more keyboards for awhile :)

I would suggest you not to try the topre switch boards.  After you do, you don't wana go back to the filcos.  

I have the limited edition white filco tenkeyless and I'm having trouble using it over the hhkp.  topre switches just feel so much better.

I still plan on buying a topre or two someday, although I'm not sure what weights I'd want to get.  I'm sure I'll still enjoy the cherry switches :)
 
Here's my little collection so far - the majestouch 2 with red switches should be on my doorstep when I get home from work:

I've been keyboard spotting. Watching Liquid'Tyler's (a professional Starcraft player) livestream, I discovered that he used a Filco. My faith in humanity has been restored.
