Keyboards are a very personal thing. But you may want to check out this one:

(I personally prefer Matias keyboards, but they are relatively expensive.)

SpellCatcher was a dynamite utility. I really loved it! The original version of SpellCatcher was released as Thunder! in 1986.
Cassady & Greene wasn't really a software developer. They simply were an outlet for a bunch of products, including SpellCatcher, created elsewhere by various other companies. When C&G went under, SpellCatcher went back to it's developer, Evan Michael Gross at Rainmaker Inc.
Sadly, Evan Michael Gross passed away in June of 2012. SpellCatcher was not developed to be compatible with versions of OS X beyond OS 10.7.x (Lion). SpellCatcher stopped being offered for sale in November of 2013.
The field for spell-checking apps for the Mac has narrowed, because spell checking is built-in to recent versions of OS X. Of course, that doesn't mean that all apps are compatible with that feature of the OS. And some programs, notably Microsoft Word, have their own spell checker built-in.
