Yes, I do the exact same with Microsoft's discontinued "Natural Keyboard Pro." I even carry one around when I anticipate needing to seriously type stuff.
There could be better ones, but I haven't tried them out.
When using computers with non-US keyboard layouts, I switch to US -- because the layout is frequently better. This plays havoc with people wanting to type stuff.
I have similar feelings towards a text-editing program called "Emacs." Which some even call its own operating system, with some justification.
