I am typing on one of the Quiet Click ones right now. Feels great, but I do get the occasional "stuck" key, maybe 1-2 times a week. I had a Logitech wireless dongle plugged into it for my trackball, so, based on what I read below, I've moved that over to directly in my workstation based on what I read here (maybe that 'll fix it?).
I have the Mac version and it's easy to swap back and forth to Windows modes by removing the right COMMAND keycap and changing the DIP switches there. You can also set the L or R space bar to be backspace.
After a few months, I'm still not on "autopilot" for the non-standard "home/end/pgup/pgdn" cluster, and I never use the undo/cut/copy/paste cluster either. I do kinda wish they had a second "6" on the left hand as that's what I was used to from my previous Microsoft Natural keyboard, but that's a minor niggle for me. The ALPS-clone switches are hard to find alternative keycaps for.
The biggest reason why I wanted this keyboard over other ergonomic mechanical ones, is that the overall arrangement is the most like a standard keyboard, but still has the comfort split. I tried a Kinesis Advantage for a week at work, and while I could definitely see becoming adept with it in the long term, when I'm away from my office desk, I use a laptop and wouldn't want to have to spend the mental energy to remember to not use the extra thumb keys. (same with ErgoDox.)
