My day-to-day keyboard is a Logitech wireless K350 with the bundled wireless mouse. I appreciate the wireless feature, as it lets me move stuff around as necessary, if I need to transcribe a written document, or navigate around the dog that insists on sitting on my lap. It's got reasonable layout, travel and reach.
A good friend still travels around with his IBM Model M keyboard, with spiral pigtail cord and PS2 plug. There is a religion based around the magic of the "buckling spring" (which sounds like a hot spring spa in Arkansas to me) whose keyboards will be pried out of their cold, dead, hands. I also love the feel of them, and the positive key action, but the noise is too much for my quiet home office.
