LAME, not really ergonomic

Basically just a bandwagon product poorly designed for a real need that it doesn't significantly address. I wouldn't buy another one and I'd do my best to talk a friend out of buying one.

low price so you're only wasting a little bit of money

makes little or no difference ergonomically. It's far too tall, and you're still stuck with a keypad in the way of getting at your mouse

The correct keyboard design

This is the only ergonomic (split key) keyboard design that I have found so far that is actually done with touch typists in mind. For people who touch type like me, it is cumbersome to have to hit the number 6 key with the left index finger when you...

Used for 4 years now

This keyboard has been serving me for over 4 years. I've used it so much that some of the keys are blank from the wear. It hasn't failed yet and I especially appreciate that the "6" key is on the correct side of the split (right hand index finger). ...

Excellent keyboard

I've been using mine for at least five years. No other keyboard I've used has lasted nearly this long. Very comfortable, easy arrangement to get used to. Nice key action. Only quibble is that I've worn off the paint on two of the keys. The matte...

Great but watch for liquids

I loved this keyboard, until I accidentally spilled a liquid into in early one morning. I had it for 3 years before it fried. The keyboard itself was great. I had no wrist pain and I was using the keyboard for many hours every day. They keyboard has...

Very good overall--just one or two little quibbles

I've been using a split keyboard (Microsoft Natural) at work for 10+ years now and feel completely at home on it; using a standard, flat, non-split keyboard feels like cramming my feet into shoes that are too small. However, when it comes to my home...

Rest you hands and wrists

While this keyboard might seem almost awkward at first, after a short time you become more familar with the ergonomic design, and your hands and wrists will benifit . . . not everyone will appreciate this design however, no matter how much they use it....

Bend your arms at the elbows and hold your hands straight out. See how your hands naturally position themselves at a slight inward angle toward each other? Notice how this angle matches the angle of the split-keypad on the ErgoBoard Natural Design Keyboard. It lets you work more comfortably by helping you type with your hands, wrists, and forearms in a more relaxed posture.The ErgoBoard Natural Design Keyboard incorporates more than just an ergonomic design, it also includes a tactile key switch, an integrated palm rest and adjustable typing heights. This keyboard still has the familiar layout that you are used to. Using a QuietType membrane with soft tactile keys will ensure ease of use and a comfortable feel. With a 15 million keystroke operating life and a jumbo sized Enter key, you can expect reliable and convenient performance for years to come.
