Out with the Old, In With The New

by JuliaGaz , Jul 15 '00
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...

Extra USB ports, great shape

by GezusK , Jul 10 '00
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...

Finally! Mouse free Winamp control!

by aspenbordr , Jul 07 '00
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,...

Great once you get used to it!

by Valerie47 , Jun 30 '00
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.

One Very Cool Keyboard

by SmakNuts , Jun 19 '00
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...

It's a matter of epinion.

by Wisky Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 11 '00
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...

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro: Wristsaver

by jiwhite Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 11 '00
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...

Must...Reach..."B"...

by sherrylee Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 06 '00
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...

You've Got to Know How to Touch Type

by yvi_1 , Jun 03 '00
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...

Be Ready To Buy More Than One.

by crosstimber , May 31 '00
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...

A good thing to buy

by Takis , May 26 '00
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...

Its a wonder nobody thought of this earlier!

by 1GQ Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 17 '00
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...

Ummm...try again!!!

by ezra-ezra , May 15 '00
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...

A not too radical approach to split keyboards

by Ergoboy , May 11 '00
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...

Buy it even if you hate it.

by kurt_kurosawa , May 10 '00
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...
