Pros: Ergonomically correct! Cons: makes it difficult to go back to using the old style keyboards
I've been using the MicroSoft Natural Keyboard since 1995. It is somewhat frustrating at first to get the feel for it, but once you do, you will NEVER want to use the traditional style keyboard again! If I sit down at someone else's keyboard and they...

Pros: Shape, Quality, USB ports Cons: None
I used to have the old Microsoft Natural keyboard, which was a little bit larger than this one. The only thing I really miss off the old one, is the way the front could be tilted up. The Natural Pro is nice, I actually do use the extra buttons along...

Pros: Very comfortable to type one, quiet, has many useful shortcut buttons Cons: "B" key located on the wrong side for sloppy typers, takes a little while to get used to
I spend a good amount of time at the computer. Ok, I spend WAY TOO MUCH time at the computer. So, naturally, I want the best, most comfortable peripherals. Lately, I had been noticing that after some late-night AOL sessions, my wrists were feeling sore,...

Pros: Comfortable to use, good quality Cons: A little expensive
I am a small business owner and I work on the internet about 16 hours per day. I have tendonitis/carpaltunnel in my wrists which causes my hands to go numb at times, especially while typing. I read that an ergonomic keyboard may help this.

Pros: Overall Awesome Keyboard! Cons: Sort of expensive, but hey it's worth it!
The Keyboard of Keyboards!
This has got to be the most awesome keyboard to come around even though it isn't cordless. So what! So you can't sit on the couch and type. Tell you what though, it is a lot easier on your hands and wrists due to...

Pros: Good quality, great for correcting mistakes Cons: Not easy to switch from a reguar to a "natural"
I must admit, if I started with this to begin with, I would be an exceptional typer, and would never, cross over sides of the keyboard. But I have used a NORMAL keyboard for years, and that is what I am adapted to. Using this computer for the first...

Pros: Comfortable, reasonably priced, includes additional function keys and numeric keypad Cons: Minimally adjustable, doesn't fit in keyboard drawer
It is important for me to use an ergonomic keyboard because I have suffered from recurring bouts of carpal tunnel syndrome due to the number of hours per day I spend typing. I have been using the Microsoft Natural Keyboards for a couple of years. I...

Pros: Claims of Ergonomic Correctness are True! Cons: Not Everyone benefits from Ergonomic Correctness
Like many people whose primary typing education consisted of High School Typing, I am a hybrid typist. My typing skills consist of a combination of touch typing, and hunt'n'peck. Although I seem to know where the keys are, I still feel the need to...

Pros: natural position for hands Cons: kind of expensive
I have had my Microsoft Natural Keyboard for about four years now. I have gotten so used to having a split keyboard that I have trouble typing on a regular keyboard.
I do find that people who come and type on my computers have trouble using...

Pros: Comfortable, fairly inexpensive, easy to use, helps reduce fatigue and stress on hands, wrists, and fingers. Cons: Be ready to buy more than one - these things keep breaking on me!
Several years ago, I bought a Microsoft Natural keyboard. I don't quite remember what model it was - all I can recall is that it looked very weird (with the "broken in half and re-arranged a little bit" look), and I could afford the...

Pros: Looks, Customisation, Function, USB support Cons: Cheap materials used
This is a product from Microsoft that surprisingly is good. Probable reason for buying it at first is its looks and the neat buttons on the top.
Once start using it though, one finds that the neat buttons on the top are quite useful. They are...

Pros: onboard USB hub, smooth keystrokes Cons: large footprint
Yes its big! Its also quite stylish and well designed. The first thing you'll notice is its large footprint, it takes up quite a bit of real estate compared to other brand keyboards. Then you'll notice the "quick" buttons along the top which...

Pros: Absolutely none Cons: The key board is just plain un-natural
I am typing on this key board right now, and i hate it! The title on the box was "the Natural Key board". Well this is about the most un-natural thing i have ever used. Sorry Microsoft, try it again. I am a big game player, and you cant do...

Pros: No retraining needed, not too radical a design Cons: May not work well for all users
The Microsoft Natural keyboard is not something radical - it is simply taking radical designs and putting it in a package most people are familiar with (and can afford). A "compromise" if you like...
There are several types of...

Pros: Good for your health. Cons: Big footprint; beware the compact edition.
Typing is a very tactile process for me, and, I suspect, for most touch typists. We become dependent on key placement being exactly the same from session to session. I hadn't realized just how sensitive our hands are until I read that the Gibson guitar...
