Keyboard Snob
I don't ask for much, do I?

Layout
I just want a keyboard that has keys laid out nice. I think the Microsoft Curve series gets the right mix of 'angled for hands' but without the stupid "ergonomic" split style.
Mechanism
...and I want a keyboard that has decent key mechanicals. Buckling spring looks to be the best of the bunch! :)
Layout 2
...oh yes, and I want a keyboard that doesn't waste space and weight on the numpad. I use it... rarely. But not enough to justify it being there ALL THE TIME.

Keycaps details
...finally, I want a keyboard that has keytop shape of cylindrical (NOT flat chiclet which is horrid), with deeper cylindrical for the FJ home keys (instead of knobbly bits). I have an old Acer (PS2 era, and it has microswitches) with keytops of this style, and it's a fantastic feel (TODO: get photos :) Spherical keytops would be cool too, but unlikely :)
In conclusion
So will someone make one for me? PLEASE? :)
