Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for Business - Wired

This is the second time I have purchased this keyboard within a month. The pros: It is hands down the most comfortable keyboard I have ever used. This is why I was loathe to return it in the first place. Unfortunately, the good times stop rolling there. Both keyboards have issues with the keys doing an imaginary or software stick, if you will. So, imagine you left your finger pressed on an "e" and it just kept going. The key doesnt physically stick it just interrupts your typing and takes off on its own. It happens on multiple keys and the spacebar. The zoom button doesnt work, which isnt such a big deal, but I mean if I paid for it, it should work, right? The hotkeys are cold, as in they are not programmable. Overall its just a hot mess. I wanted to keep this keyboard because I can use it all day without any carpal tunnel flares, but the Im unable to do my job because this keyboard simply doesnt want to do as it is told. I am returning my second keyboard. I went to Best Buy and found this exact keyboard for significantly less, in professional packaging. I think, and I could be wrong, but I think the ones that are being sold here are either refurbished and was not annotated, or they were warehouse leftovers. The one from Amazon came in plain brown packaging. The one from Best Buy had the official Microsoft white cardboard outer cover on it. If you need all day comfort for your wrists, then this is an excellent (I forgot to mention it is a little loud) keyboard. Just dont buy it here.

The best ergonomic keyboard and mouse on the market, hands-down, is the wireless Logitech Wave keyboard/mouse pack. However, my workplace recently banned all wireless keyboards so I went in search of a wired replacement. This is NOT it. The space bar is HARD to push, sticky, and this hurts my hands. Ill be tossing it in the trash soon. I bought the Fellowes Microban Split Design Wired Keyboard, much better, similar to the Logitech Wave. LOGITECH - PLEASE RELEASE A WIRED VERSION OF YOUR WAVE KEYBOARD! The Logitech M500 is a good ergo mouse, wired. Signed, 30-year software engineer.

Saved my wrist from carpal tunnel.. highly recommend this style of keyboard. Minor annoyances: legs keep collapsing, and the letters quickly wear off the keyboard.. I know where the keys are anyway but my wife has trouble when a few keys arent labelled! Update: changed it to 1 star - keyboard keys completely unreadable, still within warranty period. Pro Ebiz wont respond to message after 6 days. Microsoft says I have to bring it to my nearest service center for them to look at. 45 minutes away. (90 minutes round trip and 30-60 minutes there) - not worth my time. Should have a simple warranty exchange

Hate it for three reasons. 1.) Its HUGE. I wanted to use it with a small corner desk. Its WAY too big for the pull-out keyboard tray. It fits on the tray/shelf but even when the shelf is pulled all the way out, half the keys are still under the desktop. 2.) It only has a USB connection. It wont connect to the computer through the normal keyboard connection. If you dont have enough USB connections you cant use this keyboard. 3.) It has way too many shortcut buttons. Its difficult the use the keyboard without accidentally hitting a shortcut button that sends you off the page or does something else you didnt intend. I do not recommend this keyboard at all. Id give it zero stars but at least one is required to submit feedback.
