When I bought my PC 2 years ago, I choose an Abit IT7 motherboard which only had USB & FireWire ports (no P/S2, serial, parallel, ...). The only USB keyboard the store had for sale was a Logitech one.
 
Since my PC's at university and I'm at home for the moment I can't check what model it is, but I think I found it on the Logitech site. It's a Logitech Internet Navigator. Since the international site is down for maintenance, I went to the Dutch site, but there's only 3 models of keyboards on it and mine isn't on it, however they do have info on a "special edition" version, although except for a different colour I don't know what's better about it. Here a picture of the "special edition" version of it: http://www.logitech.be/lang/images/0/984.jpg.
 
Check it out. You definately don't need much force to type on it. In the beginning I even found that annoying, because it also makes very little sound, so there's less "feedback" when you've pressed a button. But I like it a lot now, it's a really good keyboard! Here's a picture of the keys: http://www.logitech.be/lang/images/0/1107.jpg. I have to say that they look pretty big in that photograph, but I can assure you they aren't in real life (at least not on my model). It's pretty flat to, at least a lot flatter than the keyboards of the other PCs I work with sometimes.
 
I hope that helps, be sure to at least try it when you see one!
 
Regards, Anthony
