Actually, I would like to see some statistics of keyboard preference.

I like  return adjacent to '"' and ctrl adjacent to 'a', 
but I can stand anything except a Macintosh.
I hate the Mac because, contrary to every other keyboard I have ever used,
the little marker/reference nipples are on the 'd' and 
'k' keys instead of the 'j' and 'f' keys. I have many choice words in
at least three languages for the people who made that design decision.

I don't really care about the feel/texture one way or another.

Good joke about how keyboard are like "culos".
