I'd like to invest in a new keyboard - I've been typing on a MacBook Pro keyboard forever and, while I love it, it's time for something new and slightly more ergonomic.

Requirements:

  • Must play nice with my 2012 MacBook Pro
  • Must not slide around too easily, that's my pet peeve with keyboards
  • Must be affordable (ideally < $200, but much less would be better)
  • Format should be US/QWERTY. Bonus points if I can rip the keycaps off and turn it onto Dvorak, if I ever get the ambition up to do so.

Ideally:

  • Bluetooth, I don't have very many spare USB ports
  • Have an option to have an OS X-style 'command' key symbol instead of the nasty Windows key symbol.
  • Not sound like hail hitting a tin roof, that makes me cringe when I type.

Not needed:

  • Numeric pad: I hate those things and never use them anyway
  • Portability: I don't have any issues using my MacBook keyboard when travelling.

I've heard good things about the CODE keyboards - does anyone have any experience with them? Are there other keyboards that might work well for my needs?
