Kinesis Contoured Ergo Keyboard Standard Keyboard USB SuSE 10.1 Special ergonomic keyboard that puts most used keys under your stronger digits (esp. thumb) and makes distance to keys shorter for your smaller, weaker fingers. It works perfectly out of the box, although I did not test its USB hub feature (i.e., has integrated USB ports) or the optional foot pedal. See Kinesis.

Logitech Cordless Internet Pro Multimedia Keyboard and Mouse USB - Works great, except for the "special keys" (only volume control works).

Mouse works too.
