What is up with the SPACEBAR? November 30, 2008 I upgraded from the Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard to this one and I am back to using my original keyboard. The good thing about this keyboard is that it allows you type in a more comfortable and natural position. The wrist rests are a bit softer than my original natural ergo keyboard.
If you use this for typing out letters, amazon reviews, and essays, you will do just fine. That's because your two thumbs will rest in the center of the SPACEBAR. This is enough force to get desired response.
If you use the keyboard for typing and game playing, then you will have an issue with this keyboard. That's because a gamer will most likely press the SPACEBAR key from the sides and that will cause a sticking seesaw motion with the key. I went to the store and tested other Microsoft keyboards and it seems they addressed this issue with the wireless 7000 combo keyboard. It costs a lot more than this one.
Let's call this keyboard Windows ME. It works for some but annoys others. Go for the 7000 which is Windows XP. Hope this helps.
Small price to pay November 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you spend too long at a desk and the aches and pains associated with typing your life away are getting to you, I would heartily recommend this keyboard as part of an ergonomic make-over. There are plenty of other very competent reviews here that go into the finer points, but my 2 cents? It probably won't cure major woes on it's own, but with proper monitor height, foot position and all that jazz, I have certainly noticed a significant improvement. Bottom line my wrists and hands are more comfortable during the day and they don't hurt at the end of it. I'm also typing with greater speed and accuracy with this keyboard.
Great Ergo Design November 19, 2008 I love this keyboard because of the way, and the angle at which the keys are split. It is perfect for my tendonitis-prone left wrist, which is why I needed it. I only wish there was a bluetooth version because I use it with my laptop and I hate wires!
Space bar November 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received the keyboard today. The space bar is a big problem. It gets stuck in the pressed position. it is also difficult to press it from sides. you need to push it in the middle which is totally contradictory with the ergonomic design. the design itself is quite good but the space bar, which is maybe the most commonly used key, creates a big problem. I do not recommend this keyboard to anyone. Go for the Microsoft Curve Comfort.
Heaven November 17, 2008 This is the best keyboard out there and the price is right! Easy to manipulate and works well with your hands. Has a rest and on an incline to position your hands properly. I also use a pad for my elbows. Would recommend highly!
