Short-travel keyboards are, by some studies, less likely to cause RSI than typewriter-style longer-travel keyboards. At the very least, there is reason to question why emulating the key travel of a mechanical typewriter linkage makes sense versus short travel, or even no-travel haptic feedback.

I think Apple's keyboards, when they work, work really well. And you can get them without number pads so your hand isn't traversing a wasteland of wasted keys to get to the mouse.
