Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Over the past 11 years, Microsoft Hardware has been evolving its #1 best-selling Natural keyboard with timesaving features and sleek finishes. Now, the company is excited to introduce a new Natural keyboard featuring a breakthrough ergonomic design, developed for the loyal users that already love split keyboards. Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 has been expertly crafted to allow you to work in a more natural position. The new Gull Wing design features a 14-degree gable, a natural arc and a curved key bed - bringing the keys closer to your fingers to reduce reach and unnecessary motion, while encouraging a more natural typing position. It also comes equipped with an optional palm lift for a seven-degree reverse slope and a cushioned wrist rest that encourages better arm and wrist alignment.

  Strengths: In the past 5 years I've worked several places and always ordered this keyboard for my desk, it does take a little to get use to the layout of it but once you do you'll find it's very comfortable

  Weaknesses:With the platform on the bottom it raises the keyboard too high for some keyboard trays but it can be easily removed.

  Overall Evaluation: It's definately my favorite ergo keyboard, I'll be sad when they stop selling these! I'm not sure about the issues that others have reported in the review, despite having had several of these I've never experienced issues with keys sticking or faitulre of any keys. They're comfortable and your hands will naturally fall on the keys, great for people who know how to type but probably challenging for those that peck.

  Strengths: Very comfortable once you get use to it.Stylish look.

  Weaknesses:Raises up a little to high for me.The "M" key doesn't work very well on my keyboard.

  Overall Evaluation: Overall, a great keyboard to use everyday. Making the switch to this keyboard from a regular keyboard has eliminated the pain in my wrist I use to get.

  Strengths: It's ergonomic; short cut keys are cute

  Weaknesses:You have to hit on the keys a bit harder than you would with many other keyboards.

  Overall Evaluation: It's got tons of bells and whistles in the shortcut keys, and the wrist rest is nice, but it takes too much effort to push down on the keys. I didn't notice this at first, but after typing for about an hour (I am a student) it got to be like typing in mud. I also started to feel inflammation, which never happened with my previous ergo keyboard that I just ended up typing into the ground before I bought this one. Maybe I'll try to sell it on E-bay to one of those people that have a tendency to push too hard so I can get a lighter touch.

  Strengths: key sizes & angles decent for alphabet keys.

  Weaknesses:control keys (page up/down) arrows, etc awful and wrong-sized

  Overall Evaluation: Avoid all MicroSoft split-key keyboards if you plan on typing alpha-numeric data. Unless you're okay with jumping to the numberpad for every number, the ^/6 key is a dealbreaker here.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=I don't know a single typing manual or instructor that teaches you to type the number 6 with the LEFT hand, and EVERY MicroSoft split-key keyboard has the 6 key on the LEFT of the split! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=It does have a decent key action, and size and angle of the letter keys is average or better-than-average.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=I personally prefer my backslash key on the right of the shift key (under the ENTER) rather than above. This however isn't a dealbreaker for me.
