If you do any sort of book keeping or accounting, or data entry that requires a lot of number entry, this gives you the ability to run the mouse with your right hand, and run the number pad with your left hand

I still think it would fit large hands just as well.

Less strain on the right hand when moving between keyboard and mouse

I had to relearn to type a little (previously I always hit the B key with my right hand, and so the placement of B and V on this keyboard took some getting used to), but after that I grew to love this thing

Great hand positioning, easy to press keys.

Kind of hard to reach things with right hand if you have small/medium handsglossy

In my private life, though, I use my hands a LOT for fiddly stuff, like beadwork, knitting, sewing, cooking...

And yes, it's awkward at first, but you get the hang of it once you realize that it will cut your task time in half when you don't have to move your right hand back and forth

Unlike keyboards with a full number pad you can keep your mouse close by -- I hate the full number pad as it forces right handed mice half a foot to the right

when I hit the space bar with my right hand finger I felt sharp pain in my carpal tunnel hurting right wrist

The padded part is really comfortable as well and the riser that comes with the keyboard to rise it from the front is really helpful for appropriate hand position

The split keyboard is a nice touch and the separate key pad is very handy because I can use the mouse in my right hand and the key pad in the left.

The layout of this device discourages hunt and peck, crossing over with the wrong hand, and some other things I have always done

It is helpful to have my mouse close to my right hand

Also, space between arrow keys and rest of the middle part is the same, so I cannot blindly put my right hand on up arrow

I just had one issue one day wearing a bracelet on my right hand and it started hurting with that mouse

My hands are pretty

I gave this keyboard 1 star because Microsoft is discriminatory and so anti-minority that they did not make a left handed mouse for this keyboard only an ergonomic right handed mouse which cannot be used by the a left-hand

I am an IT guy and recently got hired and this keyboard allows your hand to type very comfortable!

, I am right-handed.

It does get a little weird on the right hand side by the enter key

my right hand easily and comfortably has access with minimal effort

It does take some getting used to for the special keys on the right hand side

I appreciate the split layout from the Natural Keyboard 4000, one thing I find quite inconvenient is the frequent hand travel from the keyboard to my mouse (I am right handed)

The sloppy position of my Macbook makes, for my right hand a V angle

My right hand especially is forever striking all the wrong keys

There are no dedicated media keys on the keyboard - any alternative functions of the keys are modified by toggling a physical button in the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard

My only complaint (which is actually my fault) is that the b key is on the left and the n key is really big, and apparently I’ve been typing wrong my whole life by pressing b with my right hand.

If this is for a desktop or a computer that doesn't move, it is an excellent, hand-pleasing choice!!

This is a great keyboard for proper hand placement while working on a computer all day

My right hand especially is forever striking all the wrong keys

This is the perfect keyboard for the uncomfortable hand positioning that I was experiencing

very comfortable hand fit with wrist rests

I do find the right hand side of the space bar is a little more "clicky" than the rest of the keys, but not insufferably so

Too bad because I really like how my hands feel on the keyboard, really comfortable

It really works for reducing hand and wrist strain

There really should be a B on both sides, as people like me normally strike that key with the right hand rather than the left

This keyboard, aside from the awkwardness of the "b" key for anyone who is used to hitting it with their right hand, saved me a lot of strain on my wrists and shoulder, and the keys are just as comfortable as the mechanical ones to me

For example, I discovered that I hit the "b" key with my right hand on a normal keyboard, but this is not possible on this keyboard due to the gap

It means the mouse is closer to where my hands naturally are making it easier to switch back and forth

The hump in the middle is quite aggressive, and so if you want to use your thumb for keys next to the space bar, you can end up contorting your hand

Some of the keys on the right hand side are a little offset from what I am used to, especially number

It's good for the right hand, but the left hand keys are no different than regular keyboards.

Since this keyboard adopts a switch in the upper right hand corner (instead of a fn

This way I can move it out of the way and get the mouse closer to my right hand.

Unfortunately, I found the hand position a bit uncomfortable and I had trouble getting use to the arrow/PgUp/PgDn layout.

With this keyboard, due to the little slope it has, the distance between keys is really diminished and my hand is not aching anymore

The right hand side with arrow keys and the other 6 keys (home, end, pgup, pgdn, insert, delete) is a lot different but have started to get used to it where it isn't that big of an issue for me

This keyboard has a great feel to it, and ergonomically the split hands (along with a vertical mouse I picked up separately) has made a VERY noticeable improvement to my nagging wrist pain

Just be sure to get the front end low enough so your forearms are at least parallel to the floor or even angled down toward the keyboard by a few degrees.)--the usual gripe about the 6 key being moved to the right hand

Right hand can't seem to get its act together yet.

I've been experiencing wrist pain lately, especially on the heel of right hand near lunate bone, and have gone through a whole lot of keyboards to try to find something that helps

You can’t easily keep the left hand on the CTRL and shift keys and the right hand on the arrows, using 3 fingers to easily arrow L, R, U and D without making a very tight, weird “claw” that gets uncomfortable quickly

so I can navigate with my mouse with my right hand and use the number pad with my left.

I was never able to get used to the weird placement of the keys along the right-hand edge of the keyboard

A lot of ergonomic mice that are great for your hand are impossible to use for detail work

, I'm not so fond of the mouse for more than incidental use, the round shape hurts my hand during all-day use, but that's another story.)

After switching over from older microsoft ergonomics keyboards, this one has nice keys, but the spacing takes a bit to get used to - especially the right hand (backspace and enter).

Otherwise, this keyboard is my favorite among the split-hands type that I've tried.

For instance, on a mac, using command-c and -v repeatedly will cramp your hand

The strange layout of keys on the right hand side of the keyboard (Home, End, Page Up/Down) take some getting used to, but I have been able to adapt eventually

On that one the space bar became "lopsided" because I hit it more with my right hand than my left.

First, the pros--and there are a lot:--the split and curve really do help your hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders

My hands lie naturally on the keyboard.- Size of keyboard lets me position my mouse 4" closer, meaning I don't have to move my right arm as far to use the mouse.- Wireless transceiver installed automatically on Windows7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows XP VM running in Hyper-V- Function keys double as Windows 8 special keys (though I wish there was a FN key to activate them rather than the toggle switch to go between Function

I used an old black t-shirt and it looks nice and is easier to clean, doesn't show hand oil or stains etc. anymore

This keyboard has a great feel to it, and ergonomically the split hands (along with a vertical mouse I picked up separately) has made a VERY noticeable improvement to my nagging wrist pain

Promotes neutral wrist postures while typing for my size, and the 10-key can be moved allowing right handed mousers to bring the mouse in close

Some of the keys on the right hand side of the board are taking some getting use

The H and G key are my worse

I like the keyboard and wished it worked as it supposed to function.

The mouse LED light doesn't turn off automatically when it's idle, as far as I can tell

Trying to alt+tab or use other key combinations (shift+ for capitals) rarely works as or both of the keys are undetectable.5

So my recommendation is not to buy one of these units unless you are channeling your inner Clint Eastwood and 'feel lucky today'...otherwise you may end up with a dead, useless keyboard, and don't forget to save the box, cheesy as it was, so you can send it back to DataVision Computer Video just like I wish I could.

I liked this a

low profile keys, which I like a

Embarrassing and becomes unusable in short order once the keys stop working as they should.

I would like to see a wired version of this keyboard to resolve the N-key rollover issues and the failing to register the letting up of buttons after they have been held for a while

i goodwill’d the number padmy wrists thank you

Additionally, functions like CTRL+D do not work.
