Just the Tipro 122 key main-module, it is only as wide as a Noppoo and has got as many switches as a 3270 terminal emulator!
Otherwise I'd take the Noppoo. But this is 2011, in 2012 it will be the Phantom 7BIT layout ...

Folks, don't bother with +1 and repeating the same keyboard, this is a call for nominees, voting hasn't started yet.
Anyway, I'd like to nominate the following:
KBTalking Pure (similar to, but better thought out than the poker)
KBTalking Race (compact yet with dedicated arrow keys and backlit)
Data911 TG3 (amazing robustness, backlit, integrated touchpad)
Rapoo v7 (programmable !)
PLU ML-87 (good quality yet economical tenkeyless)

Apple Aluminum!
Finally I have a decent keyboard for my PS3. Plus, it's sometimes nice to not have to deal with wires.

Yep.
Stupid Apple forum posts made me think it didn't but it works fine.

The <Alt Gr> key is on the wrong place. It made my quite annoyed when I tried to write code using one yesterday.

Dye sub keycaps

keycaps readable, unlike 87UB
Embedded numpad
LEDs! Unlike 86U
Dip switch Configurable capslock/Ctrl swap (and some other settings)
