Natural Ergonomic 4000

Pros: cute, pretty, attractive ... good promises

Cons: awful space bar ... enough reason to return to store.

Review: Simply said ... the space bar was unusable. I miss one click out of every two, on average (another reviewer complained about this one too). The rest is so so. The keys do not feel very good and responsive.

Pros: The keycap spacing is better than the previous model.

Cons: The USB interface does not work well with my older Windows 2000 PC.

Review: When it comes to comfort, this keyboard is the best of class. It is beautifully sculpted for the human body. If you have carpal tunnel syndrom or arthritis, this keyboard is a blessing.

Pros: Well designed key layout, padded wrist rests and numerous special function keys

Cons: large size

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this keyboard for anyone that has had their doctor recommend a ergonomic keyboard.

Review: We received several requests from users at work for ergonomic keyboards and I was given the task of selecting which one we were going to purchase where I work. After careful consideration I selected the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard...

Pros: Helps alleviate pain and repetitive stress injuries from typing.

Cons: A bit unnatural at first, and stiff space bar key.

The Bottom Line: If you have pinched nerves, carpal tunnel or other repetitive stress injury, this keyboard may be the one you need!

Review: I type a lot. I type for work. I type for Epinions. I type for online gaming. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I occasionally get very painful pinched nerves and carpal tunnel syndrome. Pinched nerves in the neck can develop from a repetive...

Pros: Great layout, nice palm rest, solid construction.

Cons: Unusable space bar, horrible key feel.

The Bottom Line: If only they'd fix the space bar and key feel! Sadly, this keyboard is DOA with the problems it has.

Review: Don't you hate it when you find a product that's so great is so many areas, but fails in one aspect so is unusable? That is this keyboard for me.

I'm particularly picky on the feel of my keyboards. I work as a developer all day and I...

Pros: Quiet; easy to type on once you get used to it!

Cons: Too many buttons that don't always work correctly!

The Bottom Line:

The MICROSOFT NATURAL ERGONOMIC 4000 KEYBOARD is the best keyboard I have used. I am going to buy another one since I killed the first one!

Review: I am not sure when and how the MICROSOFT NATURAL ERGONOMIC 4000 KEYBOARD came into my life. I only know I am in mourning now that it is on the way to Keyboard Heaven! I am looking for another keyboard to love, and in the interim I am...

Pros: Nice feel, nice wrist rest, nice split design. Everything as advertised.

Cons: The worst thing, however was that the buttons started rubbing off. Inexcusable for a keyboard.

The Bottom Line: The keyboard gets 2 stars for fulfilling it's requirements of being comfortable & nice to use. But if keys are rubbing off, no dice.

Review:

I had every intention of loving this keyboard. When I went shopping to replace the last one that didn't make it through the dishwasher, I had aspirations of a simple wired split keyboard. Period. Not a terribly critical application, so I felt...

Pros: comfortable ergonomic design, many new function buttons

Cons: on the expensive side, and the letters wear off easily

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an ergonomic keyboard and don't mind spending a bit more, the 4000 may be what you're looking for.

Review: I bought the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 about a year ago, when my wife began working from home. She wanted an ergonomic keyboard, and from the selection at Best Buy, this looked like the best one.

My wife is very happy...
