  • I got super fast at typing in supposedly the correct way to type (no awkward crossing over of fingers which is inefficient).
  • If I could fine a way to stop that it would be great like the other one.
  • I didn't like the way it was high in the front
  • This keyboard has me 'spoiled' in a most positive way!!
  • Two, this week the 4000 I've used for several years went belly-up in a weird way: Certain keys produced two characters

Reviews around feel (3.97 of 5)

  • if you press down hard when you type you'll like the feel of the keys.

  • The slight padding at the front is nice and the feel of the keys is excellent.
  • It has a good feel, and I love the splayed design of the buttons

Reviews around quality (3.77 of 5)

  • I no longer think it is just a fluke, but the very poor quality in production.
  • I like the ergonomics, I would like the switch quality to be better
  • I was better off buying a cheap $5 keyboard than this overpriced piece of junk, the letters wear off keys within a month, Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves selling this poor quality keyboard for such a high price.
  • T-his isn='t an expensive keyboard but t-he lack of support tells me t-
  • I have not had any issues with these and the quality is great

Reviews around hand (3.68 of 5)

  • I've been using this for about a week and noticed significant improvement in my ability to type longer and not having sore hands and wrists at the end of the week
  • Since the 'b' key is one I usually hit with my right hand, the inclusion of it on the left side of the keyboard is something I'm still trying to get used to.
  • It prevents hand cramping and other pain I used to feel with a regular keyboard
  • I can see someone getting used to it and using their left hand on the keyboard as much as they use their right hand on their mouse
  • There is a physical break in the left and right hand keys.

  • I really like this new keyboard it has many useful features that were unavailable in the original.

Reviews around couple (1.63 of 5)

  • I unplugged it, dumped out a couple of cups of water and set it to drain.
