Default New Natrual Keyboard = Sweet!

I have been using MS natrual keyboards for a little over 4 years now. I'm not exactly a small guy, my hands would allways cramp up on a regular keyboard until I started useing a natural. I have officially gone through 2 of them, one I broke but still worked and the second led me to my next discovery.

I have been useing the MS wireless pro for over a year now and finally got tired of the battery issue. The keyboard would work great until the batteries were dieng out. Issues would be missing letters, lost signal, or even gong back in a sentance while typing?! Being frustrated with it I just went looking for a USB keyboard. I never took full advantage of the wireless ability with my keyboard so going back to a wired keyboard was fine.....ok.ok. WHAT the hell am I talkin about here.....Well I have found what in my opinion is the most comfortable keyboard yet....Now this is my opinion so don't nock it.

The new Microsoft Natural® Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 has my vote for the best keyboard, natural that is.

So if any Pimps are lookin for a new Keyboard I highly recomend this one. I would have done a short review on this for PR but I'm in the middle of 3 right now. If anyone has a question on this new styled keyboard go ahead and ask, I love typing on this extemely quiet keyboard with padded palm rest. The 14 degree wave in the middle flows well with the curved and split keys.

Hell yes! I had this keyboard for maybe one to two months, and it is the greatest keyboard I've ever purchased. It is so extremely easy and quiet to type. Everything flows very smoothly together. It is well worth the $50.

Gah, I wish I had seen that before I bought my current keyboard! I have the MS Natural Multimedia keyboard that I picked up maybe 2 or 3 months ago, along with an older Dell by MS mutlimedia natural keyboard.

That's a sweet keyboard, but I have to have wireless. I have a kind of unusual desk configuration and need to be able to set my keyboard aside when I hook up my MOMO for NFS. I ended up going with the Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro. It's a split natural design with MM keys without the wires. Unfortunately, it comes with a mouse also but I threw that in the Junkyard in case my MX1000 dies.

I do like the features of that MS keyboard though.

I'm not very good at ergo-keyboards, I guess the way I type is very erratic, i often use my right hand for d's and c's, and my left hand for y's and g's,

Wow very nice. I've never been a fan of ergo keyboards (although I've never really gave them a fair shot). This one looks like it can definitely get the job done!

I would have to second Lokies motion to make this the best keyboard. I love mine but was kinda nervious about the larger hump in the middle , but it works great.Verry comfortable, stylish black and silver and even the padded rests. Verry sturdy keyboard and not much noise. I like how the emproved on the f lock. My old keyboard I had to turn it off to get in the bios or to use the f keys. This model it is set to use the function keys and if you need the other keys that is when you hit the f lock.
