Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite - An Excellent Alternative to the Natural Pro!

by OpalMan OpalMan is a Lead on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 22 '01
Pros: Ergonomic design can benefit some users
Cons: Ergonomic design changes the layout slightly, affecting some users adversely.
We recently had the opportunity to purchase several new keyboards at work. After a couple months of use, I can report wildly mixed reviews. Most users either love them and won’t give them up or they hate them and demand the old keyboard back. Very few...

Isn't it time to go natural?

by DrDad Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 30 '00
Pros: Reduces discomfort associated with typing
Cons: Large size; not as helpful if you "hunt-and-peck"
When I first learned that "natural" was an option, I knew that was the way I wanted to go. When I first tried it I felt all awkward and clumsy, but soon I was actually enjoying the experience. Now, like any good convert, I recommend to...

Anyone Need Some Stroking? Microsoft Elite Natural Keyboard

by thedragonweyr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 12 '00
Pros: Less Strain and Wear on Body, Lets You Get Your Stroking Speed Way Up
Cons: There Is A Learning Curve
Just the other day, feeling optimistic about my successful installation of a new modem, I succumbed to the lure of a nice, new, ergonomically designed, split keyboard. I think I am in love!

WHAT THE BLANK IS A SPLIT KEYBOARD!?

For Everyone but Gamers and Power Users

by brxndxn , Apr 29 '02
Pros: Compact, ergonomic design, GREAT feel, higher quality than most keyboards
Cons: Frustratingly tiny directional keys, function keys, and awkward layout of them
After spilling Pepsi all over my last keyboard, and never quite being happy with it in the first place, I decided to get a higher-quality keyboard - the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite. Being a nerdy gamer, I wanted a keyboard with a nice feel.

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite Has PS/2 And USB But Buttons Too Small

by dkozin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Jul 25 '01
Pros: Comfortable, helps prevent carpal tunnel, looks cool, has USB connection
Cons: Pricey, odd key layout (arrow keys, Home, Insert, etc.)
I have used the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite at work and the cheap no-name copy at home. The Microsoft keyboard is very comfortable, the pressure you have to apply to the keys is just right. The keyboard not only looks cool, but also helps...

Wrist Saver

by Waterpolo8 , Oct 23 '00
Pros: ease of typing, usb connection
Cons: little bulky
On this keyboard my hands naturally position themselves at a slight inward angle toward each other. It has a great comfortable postion for however long you need to type. The feel of this keyboard is much different than the standard flat ones. This...

No More Tangled Fingers...

by RBradford , Dec 28 '00
Pros: Small Footprint, Nice Design, Quiet Typing
Cons: Price
I never really intended to get this keyboard. I was just fine with my cheap, generic one. That is, until my boss provided me with a new keyboard at work - The Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite.

It was a little odd to use at first,...

I Liked It So Much I Got Another!

by shauncool Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 23 '00
Pros: Quiet Keys - Long Chord - Faster & Easier Typing - Low Price
Cons: Wrist Wrest is not detachable - Not For Everyone
Having one of these keyboards and enjoying it for a year was not enough to make me think of writing a review about it. However, just last week I built a second computer and decided to AGAIN buy the same keyboard to use with it. So, now I have...

All Natural for Me

by pippadaisy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Dec 04 '00
Pros: great for the traditional typist
Cons: not for the hunt-and-peck folk
My first glimpse of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard came almost 6 years ago, when I was doing procurement for a large computer services company. It was the latest thing out there, so of course, all the techs just had to get one. I spent more...

The little keyboard that could

by jatznic , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Superb design, very easy on the wrists, prevents CTS
Cons: Function and arrow keys very difficult to work with
The Microsoft Natural elite is a godsend to anyone who types on a frequent basis. This keyboard redefines the definition of comfort and reliability. The key to the comfort of this product is in its wave design. A lot of people will simply refer to...

It Messes Me Up

by Veryhomicidle , Mar 11 '00
Pros: may be good for typing
Cons: not for games and people that are use to their style of typing
I have a problem with this keyboard mainly because I am not used to it I suppose. I type at about 60 words per minute and this keyboard significantly decreases my speed. It is kind of awkward and I really think that I would like to keep the old model. I...

Am I the Only One Who Can't Type with This?

by glacier , Jun 05 '01
Pros: Supposed Ergo Design for Carpal relief
Cons: Pricey, Awkward, Strange Action
Working as a programmer, I spend all my time typing and clicking. As such, I place great importance on the quality and performance of both my mouse and my keyboard.

Last year, I was having some Carpal Tunnel problems and decided to try one of...

The programmer's choice, even if it is made by Microsoft

by packdragon , Jul 12 '01
Pros: Hands positioned more naturally than with standard keyboard
Cons: HUGE windows key constantly getting in my way; clunky
Yes, it's easy to poke fun at the sprawling mega-giant known as Microsoft, but I will admit, they do make a few good things. Their "Natural" keyboard is one of them.

When you first get a look at this keyboard after only seeing standard ones,...

All keyboards should be made this way...

by vicwang , Mar 24 '00
Pros: Faster speed, greater comfort, fewer typing mistakes
Cons: Larger than "standard" keyboards
I find it amusing how many people have an aversion to "split" keyboards such as this one. I actually got mine free when my boss hated it so much (it came with a new system) that he gave it to me and bought another "standard" keyboard...

Soda: Natural Born Enemy of this keyboard

by pamela95 , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Comfortable hand position
Cons: more difficult if you don't touch type
I received my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite after a while of reminding my husband how much I wanted one of these. While at work, I had gotten one, and I quickly learned that I prefer it to the "regular" keyboard. What is...
