What do you think about the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, and what would you recommend as a replacement if it were to break.

I hate the sloping wrist rest, the height and the keys that bind on off-centre key presses.
I agree with davkol's recommendations, except that the Cherry G80-5000 and IBM Model M15 are ridiculously expensive because they are rare collector's items. The vintage Apple Adjustable is more common and affordable but can't be tented (sides sloping sideways) and requires an adapter that is easier to make yourself than find for sale.

I actually wouldn't recommend the 4000 to anyone. I was helping sort keyboards before for a refurbishing setup at an organization and the 4000s often had dead keys and we got more of them back dead than we got back CRTs. I had two myself for a bit and neither one of them lasted either.
I did have a Dell branded ergonomic keyboard in the fast which was a decent rubberdome from what I remember it being. I don't have any idea who made it though as all I remember specific is it was beige and PS/2 while having the startup button on the top right for a Mac (which was weird).

Keyboards with model numbers starting with SK- are usually made by Silitek.
I have also seen Natural Keyboard-clones from Logitech.
