Wonderful - No more Carpal Tunnel Problems

I've had this keyboard a number of years and would never go back to anything else. I have (or had) severe carpal tunnel syndrom. This keyboard has eliminated that problem entirely. I can't think of a downside. Yes, it takes a bit of getting used to and yes, the keys are a bit noisy. But I have no problem with that. It just reminds me I'm working.The number pad is excellent too.I'm getting ready to get another one to use with my laptop.You can't destroy this keyboard. If you value your wrists and...

For when simplicity and comfort are prized above all

This particular keyboard is the only one I have used for the past half dozen years.I've got two on my desk here at work and another at home, plus a few spares hidden around the storage room for when they break (or stop getting sold).Nowadays, if you're looking for an ergonomic keyboard, you're going to always run into the modern fancy devices.Rows of buttons to access your mail or documents, fancy Function Lock behavior, macros, and all manner of doodads and whatsits that you probably don't need...

Good positive keystrokes

I use this keyboard at home and a conventional one at work. At first I found the conventional one tight after using this one for a bit. The key angle is good.

The same model's been on sale that long in the UK, which actually says something about its popularity.The one drawback is the footprint of the feet is too narrow and its tricky to stop them from...

Keys rearranged

I went and got this keyboard after the first one broke.I found the keys were re-arranged.Instead of hitting home - I wound up deleting my work.This is a keyboard I cannot work with.Model Number 1 and 3's were better....

Touch typists (and programmers and gamers) beware

First off, let me say that this is a pretty solid keyboard.No complaints about the quality.However, be aware that Microsoft decided to rearrange several clusters of keys on this keyboard.The arrow keys are in a diamond pattern rather than the traditional (and IMHO efficient) "inverted-T".Also, the home/end/insert/del/pg up/pg down cluster has been dissected and rearranged, which causes me no end of grief and mis-keys.As a touch-typist and a programmer, I've come to expect these keys to be in a certain...
