They said the best keyboards were straight and as flat on the desk as possible, which would seem to indicate that Apple's new flat keyboard is very ergonomic.
I recently picked up Microsoft's Optical Desktop 3000 which is very flat with a slightly curved outward keyboard. My wrists are now at a natural position when I type. If I had more money, I'd opt for an even lower profile one like the Desktop 7000.

I also use the MacAlly IceKey which has great feedback and low scissor keys. Apple's new keyboard is nice, but too flat and squishy lacking the tactile feedback that I like.
