I'd made the keys look more computer keyboard like, but these are probably fine as well, if you make the lighting corrections mentioned above. The 32x32 and bellow are blurry. For 32x32 it would be probably sufficient to play with the positioning/sizes to fix this, for 22x22 and bellow, I'd "join" the keys together (i.e. bring them close enough so that the gap between them would be just 1px thick outline).

I'd suggest you use about the same amount of detail both for 16x16 and 22x22, since the current 16x16, even though blurry, suggest better than the 22x22 that it's actually a keyboard. For 256x256 I'd suggest making more detailed design, where the keys would not be just painted on the keyboard, but objects by themselves. You can probably use the same design for input-keyboard as well. The only difference is that while input-keyboard is a device icon, preferences-desktop-keyboard is used for symbolising configuration of the keyboard. There's also icon for System->Preferences->Personal->Input Method (preferences-desktop-input), I think the bluecurve metaphor might work for echo as well. Martin
