I am also a Mac user. I really like the old IBM keyboards, which can be found online, but they lack the extra keys needed for comfortable use on a Mac. I have found the das keyboard to be a good compromise. They have almost the same feel as the IBM, but have the extra keys, and it plugs in to a USB port without an adapter.
I never thought I'd read a review of keyboards that went to this extent. Shawn even added animations and sound clips. This is a great read for anybody who works in front of a keyboard for a living.
If you are looking for something more pretty, the Happy Hacking keyboards are clean and have a small form factor. They don't have a clicky sound, but more of a "thock" because of the different switches. It also has support for OS X media keys.
If you are considering purchasing a mechanical keyboard, I would recommend checking out: http://geekhack.org/ beforehand. You can gain a better feel for types of mechanical keyboards out there, as the Das is only one of many.
