Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite

This was a replacement for the same keyboard that I broke, but it is service that counts. The price on Amazon was competitive, but with free shipping (and the patience to wait 3 weeks) made it a good deal.

I've had my new keyboard for several weeks now and I love it. I have used several different ergonomic keyboards both at home and work, and out of all the ones I have used (and I have used some very expensive ones), this one is still my favorite. I had one of these at work for several years, until one too many cups of coffee was spilled on it! The keys are 'light', you don't need a lot of pressure, and it's pain free for my wrists. I highly recommend this keyboard, both for its features and the price!

This is the best keyboard I have ever used. I suffer from arthritis and am status post bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. This keyboard keeps your hands in a normal anatomical position and is very easy to get used to. Excellent product. I highly recommend it.

The Microsoft Natural Elite is my favorite keyboard by far. I have been using one since 1999 (about 9 years now). Although I can probably type just as quickly on a straight keyboard, I am definitely more accurate on the Natural Elite. I have also used a Logitech "ergonomic" keyboard, but I didn't like the feel. One of the best things about this keyboard is the complete lack of extra buttons, switches, and clutter. It would be nice if they made one in a different color (mine is looking somewhat dingy after many years of use). Also, mine is a PS/2 model and I don't know if I still have the USB adapter that it originally came with. I'm not an expert on ergonomics so I can't help you there. I am a touch typist and I do quite a bit of writing (PhD student) and I can sit at my desk for extended periods of time with little difficulty.

Overall: great quality, great feel, great speed, great reliability, and no extra junk.

I ordered a Split keyboard from Amazon because I couldn't find it either in stock or reasonably priced in stores in my area. After 10 minutes on Amazon I had found the keyboard I wanted for a price I was happy with I ordered it without a hitch. It was waiting for me after work just a few days later and has worked flawlessly ever since.
