The natural keyboard pro was ok but it had several drawbacks.

1) The feels feel clunky. Pushing each takes too much effort as typing isn't as smooth as with other keyboards.

2) This thing is loud. It's almost as if the designers were trying to see how loud they could make it.

3) Multimedia keys are there, but they are all the exact shape and color, which makes them more difficult to find/navigate.

Most of these problems are cleared up in the updated natural multimedia, but you lose the 2 usb ports. *shrug* Oh yeah, plus you have to get the new gay function lock.... *rolls eyes*

I like a standard keyboard better than a split keyboard when it comes to playing games. It was just too much trouble finding keys on a split keyboard while keeping one hand on the mouse.
