Review: One of the better ergonomic keyboards - I've been typing with a split ergonomic keyboard since the 90's. I've had the good, the bad, and the so-so. I had an old 'clicky' style split keyboard in the mid-90's that reminded me of the trusty old IBM 'clickies' - heavy-duty and built like a tank. It took heavy finger pressure, but since I'm a bit of a keypounder, that was okay. Loved that keyboard. Too bad the kids got to it - juice boxes and PBJ's. This one is pretty good. I gave it a five-star rating because it's the best one available these days at a reasonable price. I log about a million words a year, give or take, and so keyboards are an important accessory for me. Pro's - nicely laid out, accommodates my large hands well, comfortable for long spells of typing, and I like the forward/backward buttons under the space bar. Con's - I've been through a few of these keyboards - I think four of them. The failures I've observed are mainly stuck keys and/or failure of the underlying switches. One other thing I've noticed is that unless I keep my nails well trimmed, I rub letters off like crazy. That's probably a peculiarity of my hands and typing style, so I don't necessarily blame the keyboard. After my third one failed, I started thinking a bit about how I might better preserve them, and to my credit, the keyboard I'm using right now is about 18 months old and has had no problems. My care routine for these keyboards involves covering them when not in use to keep dust off them - I use the plastic bag in which it was shipped. I also have a glass jar of desiccant packs by my desk and before I put the keyboard in the bag I spread a handful of desiccant packs onto the keyboard. I then slide the keyboard into the bag and use some mini-binder clips http://www.desertcart.com/OfficemateOIC-Binder-Assorted-Colors-31024/dp/B00006IBA3/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1436912473&sr=8-2&keywords=mini+binder+clips to seal the bag up. I find that humidity really does a job on these keyboards. The other advice I'd give is to refrain from eating and drinking over your keyboard. I know, I know you say you're careful and you're not one of those people that drop or spill stuff...but if I'm being honest, yeah, I've spilled tea on keyboards. Not pretty. I've also had that sinking feeling as a cracker crumb falls from my lips, bouncing first on my hand, then on one key, then another, careening wildly, only to settle into the gap between two keys, wedged in, never to be seen again. Bad business, that.
Review: Works for what I need it for - I've been using this type of keyboard for years. I remember back in the late 1990/early 2000s, I was working as a medical transcriptionist and my supervisor at the time was using a "curved" white Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard. I was still using the typical, out-of-the-box, straight keyboard. She gave me hers to try out for a while. At first, I HATED it. My typing speed was terrible, I was pressing every wrong key, etc. But after I got used to it, I realized there was no way I could ever go back to a straight keyboard. Now, all of these years later I'm still working as a medical transcriptionist and have graduated up to the Microsoft 4000. I still have problems using a straight keyboard - in fact, when I'm using my laptop for work I cannot use the laptop keyboard and have to hook up my own keyboard in order to transcribe. Compared to all of the other "ergo" keyboards out there that I have tried (and I have tried quite a few), this is the best I've found. Now, I have never tried the Kinesis which I hear once you try and actually get used to you will never go back to anything else ever again and that it's the "best of the best." I have thought about trying one of those out, but I just cannot justify the cost. Perhaps if I was suffering from more carpal tunnel symptoms, more wrist pain, etc., I would give it a try, but as of now the Microsoft 4000 works for what I need it for. I am pairing it with an Anker wireless mouse, which took me a while to get used to but now I couldn't function without it! My sister was visiting me a few months ago and she was having a terrible time using my keyboard and mouse just to function on the internet and I then realized how somebody who isn't used to it feels. As I mentioned above, I've been using one of these "curved" split keyboards for nearly 20 years now, so I'm definitely used to it. With this keyboard, my hands feel like they are at a more natural position compared to a regular standard keyboard where they feel to be unnaturally squished close together. When I worked in-house at a local clinic (I currently work from home), we had occupational therapists come over to evaluate our work stations, etc. I was told I have hyperreflexia and that the best position for this keyboard was to keep the lower bottom "riser" attached and to keep the top legs folded up so that my hands are sloping down from my wrist placement. That is the best position for me, but others may be different. As I mentioned before, I have used this brand of keyboard for years, though I need replacements every six months or so as I am definitely NOT easy on my keyboards!! I always keep a spare one around which is good as the other day my Diet Coke spilled all over the one I was using. I thought I caught it early enough and got it all drained out, but nope, it was (and still remains) dead. So the spare I keep around does come in handy!! All in all, this is a great keyboard for those of us who type on a regular basis. My only complaint (and this is not with EVERY Microsoft 4000 I've purchased, only a few) is that there are times when the space bar is a bit sticky. I pound the keys so hard while I'm typing that I generally don't notice this, but I have had a few that I have noticed it on. Otherwise, all keys seem to depress well. The letters on the "common" keys do wear off around four or five months, but that is something I could care less about as I don't ever look at my keyboard when I'm transcribing (though those that attempt to use my keyboard have commented on it)!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: EDIT: Owned both, the only real difference is the Windows key has a recessed circle on it (which I prefer, makes it easier to feel out from the Alt and Ctrl). What's the actual difference between the "For Business" model and, say, this one? http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Natural-Ergonomic-Keyboard-4000/dp/B**
A: The cord on the biz model is slightly longer and heavier, key labels brighter, more robust and set in corner for better wear on biz model, the "windows" key is embossed with a circle, the keyboard bezel labels/marks vary subtly and in my opinion the biz model feels better- slightly heavier.  I ordered one of these because the part number matches the biz model. I've owned 5 of these, the consumer version cable won't last as long as the business, I work with the KB in my lap, there's a design flaw which will result in eventual failure if the keyboard endures constant movement as mine do.  Internally the shielded cable is bent to 180 degrees before it exits the case which stresses mesh shield braid before it leaves the case. With regular movement the cable can't help but fail after a period of about 24 months. Not an issue for most desktop users though.

**Q: Will this keyboard work on a Mac?**
A: I use this keyboard on my MACBOOK and can remap keys so they are in similar layout as the standard MAC keyboard.  I find this very usable.  I use a USB switcher so I can share the keyboard with MAC and Windows desktop.  The switching works fine and the remap happens without any issues.  Pretty pleased with how it all works.

**Q: Does it include the cushion of the last picture?**
A: I can't see the picture, but it has a very nice cushion for the wrists.  I'm a fast touch typist, and this is a superior keyboard.  Highly recommended.

**Q: Can someone please tell me what the buttons 1-5 are for at the top center?**
A: 1 opens 'my computer' at libraries; 2 opens default browser; 3 opens IE; 4 opens Excel; 5 opens Chrome.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for what I need it for

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful keyboard, VERYuseful programmable buttons aplenty. Only problem: Intermittent connectivity problem with wireless unit.
*by I***Y on November 16, 2013*

I really love this keyboard, having used "ergonomic" keyboards for a great many years now, and using nothing else. The design is really nice, with the split keyboard being an increasingly rare thing to find these days. Almost no models made by anyone offer such a design, but even if there was more competition of this type, I still think this keyboard is great. The programmable buttons (MANY of them) are a huge plus. You can program most of them to do all kinds of things, including opening often-used documents or websites for you, or running macros you write. The buttons that are intended for specific purposes, though, are so well thought-out that I leave most of the button assignments as they are. For example, the buttons dedicated for increasing, decreasing, or muting the speaker/headphone volume are VERY useful very often. And the calculator button also gets a lot of use. Others are the same: very well-thought-out standard assignments doing things I do often (and that presumably most people do often), and once you get used to the fact that now you have a button that does what you want (at first, you'll do it the slower way requiring many more button presses &/or mouse pointer clicks), this keyboards full functionality really shines through for you, and you can't imagine how you could use anything else! The removable palm rest is another great feature, by the way. Since I use this on my lap, and the bottom of that thing isn't comfortable at all that way, I'm very happy it comes off. And it goes on and off very quickly and easily, in case you want to move it back and forth between a non-organic surface and your lap. The only problem I have with this keyboard in its wireless version (I have both cabled and wireless ones) is that with many positions I get in, even when the keyboard is VERY close to the receiver plugged into the USB jack on the front of my computer, it won't work at all many times. But when the keyboard is in other positions that have NO line of sight to the receiver, it works fine. It's very particular that way, with some orientations that seem like they'd make for very easy connectivity being impossible to use, while other orientations/distances that seem like they wouldn't work work just fine. Go figure. But once you learn its oddities, you can work around that by moving the keyboard and/or the receiver plugged into the computer so that it works. I do still find it annoying that it seems like the most comfortable positions I want to be in often seem impossible to make work, even with very close proximity. Using the wired version, of course, removes this problem entirely. But I think that the connectivity of the wireless version should not be so touchy and idiosyncratic, and would describe it as a "design flaw." I would have to say that, overall, this isn't enough to warrant deducting a star, though. Overall, though, I'd say it's a great keyboard, and highly recommend it.
