My PC keyboard will not fit into my Mac. So I was going to buy a Mac keyboard. But the feedback for this keyboard is rather poor. What other kind of keyboard could I buy?

any keyboard which uses a USB connection will work with your mac. i advise going to a large computer retailer and trying out a bunch of keyboards until you find the one you like.
Do you mean an external keyboard for when your laptop is stationary, or a replacement internal 'attached' laptop keyboard?
An external keyboard for when my laptop is stationary; to use with my bigger monitor.
Well as Sam said, I'd suggest you just go 'feel some up' (d-:) to get a feel for one that just... fits you. It depends if you want something 'heavy' and 'clicky'; something more like an old fashioned typewriter feel, something light and 'invisible' to your fingers, something thin and slim - there's a lot of different types, and what matters most is really how it feels to you. I myself use a Logitech DiNovo:

Another I really like using at the various places I have used it is the Kensington Slimtype:

Again, I wouldn't order one online until you've physically tried it out - it's ALL about how it feels to you in the end.
As an addendum to my earlier answer, ttoone is right too - I own and love several Mac keyboard. I just happen to know that in any given conversation, I seem to be the only one who likes using the Apple-made keyboards, everybody I know seems to find them uncomfortable - hence why I never recommend them off the bat.
