Strongly seconded. My Maltrons (one at home, one at work) have saved my
hands and zapped almost all my RSI (the ciculatory damage is permanent,
but although my hands get cold easily, they don't *hurt* anymore).

The Maltron uses Cherry keyswitches, of course.

It appears to be very hard to wear out: ten years or so of continuous
use might do it.

Downsides: high cost (500 quid each), looks somewhat ugly (but I don't
care).
