My Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard isn't that impressive but I found if you develop pain from an intense day of typing it might be worth something other then the standard keyboard configuration.
I was just testing some keyboards and I didn't have a huge difference in typing speed as I measured it, but it was more about the length of time I could type before my fingers were tired. Plugging along at around 60-80wpm (depends what I'm typing) for a while eventually my little pinky fingers give out on a non ergonomic keyboard and they kind of hurt but I have this problem less on an ergonomic keyboard so I'm currently using that.
When programming I typically have more spaces between my typing then my testing because of pausing to think but after an intense day where it's more I know the patterns and just have to put them into the computer (typing most of 8 hours) my little pinky fingers still have issues but it is better then it used to be with a more standard keyboard.
