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...
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...
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!
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.
...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
