Kinesis Advantage Keyboard..

blah, Never been a fan of anything touted as ergonmic and uncomfortable looking myself. I find you need to relearn your typing style when you switch to keyboards like that and when everyone else doesn't use one it ends up hurting you more in the long run. If you truly need an ergonomic keyboard you are much better off taking small breaks from typing and then doing stretches on your wrists and fingers than anything.
I'm a huge fan of ergonomic keyboards. I've got one at home and at work. They are much more comfortable, and if you know how to properly type there isn't any harm to your typing style. I don't even notice it's split, except when I'm playing a game and need to hit '7' or something on the right side with my left hand. 
I feel as though I can type faster on my ergo boards than on a normal one, but that might be because I've been using them for 7 years now.
Get a Microsoft Natural Elite, not the multimedia one, the keys suck on those. You can find them for $15 on surpluscomputers.com. Best investment I've ever made. It's the only peripheral to last me for 7 years.
I would love to try that keyboard. It looks interesting, but if the keys aren't weighted it would probably feel very weird until you got used to it. I wouldn't pay $300 for any keyboard though.

I have read individual reviews on that keyboard before. They are extremely highly regarded in programming circles, and are supposed to be one of the best you can get if you are willing to get used to them. The original Microsoft Natural Elite (I think) is supposed to be the other top choice.
