Default Good USB Natural Type Keyboard

I purchased a IBM Thinkpad recently but at home I have a Microsoft
Natural Multimedia Keyboard. I do a lot of typing and am very used to
it and have a hard time getting used to the laptop's keyboard even
though it's better than most laptop's that I've seen. At times I know
my only choice will be to use the laptop's keyboard but at times such
as at home I'd love to be able to use a regular keyboard.
My question, is there a good USB Keyboard I can buy? This laptop
doesn't have a standard keyboard connector. Microsoft lists the
Natural Multimedia Keyboard as having a USB connector but everywhere I
look it only has the standard keyboard connector. I know they have
the Natural Keyboard Elite which has USB so I'm highly considering it
but yet are there any others (I prefer wired) that I should look at
from other companies?

I have an, "Ortek". It's USB, and has a PS/2 female port in back.

It has the resting place for the wrist, and across the top it has (16)
buttons for various functions, such as..."Mute, Scrolling, Zooming,
Calc, X'fer, Menu, Msg, etc. I have never used them because I have
never loaded the included CD drivers for that keyboard. Also, bought
it on the internet...very cheap! I'm quite satisfied, but then,
recommending something is just like recommending Pizza and
movies...everybody has different ideas about what's good and what's
not!
