Better than previous ergonomic keyboards November 21, 2009 CARLO DICARLO (Pacific Grove, CA United States)
The Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 is a step above previous ergonomic keyboards; it is even more comfortable, with a better design. I like the ability to zoom in and zoom out on a web page, call up a calculator or navigate the internet using buttons on the keyboard. It is also very reasonably priced, given the high quality of this ergonomic keyboard. I definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone. Is it time to replace your standard keyboard with an ergonomic one?
Microsoft Natural Ego Keyboard November 18, 2009 Stephen R. Schinker (Plymouth, MN USA) This is a wonderful keyboard. When I purchased my last computer, I made the mistake of getting a wireless keyboard, which did not have an option of ergonomic configuration. My previous keyboard was ergonomic, split. I spend upwards of eight hours a day writing, or keying. My left hand was getting numb and a little painful. The numbness and pain have not been an issue using the ergonomic keyboard. I find that my typing skills increase as well.
The additional feature buttons make this a wonderful keyboard. Windows 7 recognized all the features and works seamlessly.
Good start November 18, 2009 Zachary Portwood This is a very excellent keyboard. I was ready to be disappointed because of the various reviews that I read, but I have to say that I don't agree with any of them, at least no 100%.
I've heard rumors of the keys being hard to press, which is all together untrue. I have had no issues pressing the keys whatsoever, and I've found them enjoyable. They aren't rough on my hands at all and I really don't see how they could be hard to press. The spacebar, however, does take some time to become accustomed to. Because of the curve of the keyboard it makes the spacebar hard to press because you're not really hitting it in the center and it's not balanced very well. I think this could have been solved with two separate keys for it. Although it is annoying, it is nothing that can't be over seen for the overall superb quality of the product.
I did find the installation of the software annoying. Like anyone else would do, I plugged in the keyboard and booted. Within moments I found that I couldn't type anything, but I had a log in password to type... I had to grab another keyboard and restart. This is really more of my fault, but I think it should have more plug-n-play capabilities. Still, I don't think that's really enough to hate the keyboard.
Terrific! November 17, 2009 P. Smith (Washington, DC) Fairly quiet, very comfortable keyboard. My only complaint is that the space bar is badly designed in terms of balance--it should have two springs, or should have been split into two keys. I had to replace my 3-year old keyboard earlier this year because over time, it would not cooperate when pressing with my thumb on the far right of the key--I'd have to press right in the middle of the bar to get it to work, which was inefficient for fast typing. I've seen online instructions for fixing this problem, but decided not to risk it and just bought a new one. So far so good.
My only wish for this keyboard (besides a split spacebar key) is that it could be folded for travel. I travel a lot of work, and using my laptop keyboard is very hard on my wrists. I tried carrying this beast to Africa with me, and it just wasn't practical (nor did it fit in my carry-on baggage so I had to check it). Ah, but a dream to have a foldable ergonomic keyboard!
They changed the keys! November 17, 2009 A. Brackin I loved the feel of this keyboard, but ultimately returned it. After 20+ years of typing by touch I could not get used to the number 6 being on the left side of the board. I can't believe they changed this.
