What's a good USB keyboard for Mac other than the Apple keyboard?

I've read a lot of bad reviews about the Apple keyboard (the only one Apple sells), so I am looking for a good USB keyboard that works great on a Mac.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Many reviews on the Apple store site mentioned those problems:

Maybe they just got a bad batch. I have used it before, but I do prefer the PC keyboards. It's just a matter of all of the keys working.

i have never had a microsoft usb keyboard not work on a mac. i have one and a matching ms optical wheel mouse, and they work great. just be sure to install the software that comes with it, and then you can switch the windows/alt key so that they work as they should on the mac.
