I use the keyboard from my fruity egg-shaped iMac G3 when I need a handy
numeric keypad for doing my bookkeeping on my mostly used Thinkpad T60
laptop.  I am impressed with the quality of the iMac keyboard. Very firm
construction. It is a bit heavier than today's stand-alone keyboards. It has
two USB ports on the ends at the top edge that act like a mini usb hub.  The
keyboard has a slight concave curvature. The keys feels "just right".

Good luck in your search.
