Eh? Microsoft makes keybaords? Blah! :p

I use Logitech Ergonomic keyboards, far superior in every way to Microsofts! Oh wait...they are pretty much exactly the same I'm just an input device snob ;)

Tried one awhile ago and kept it because it's so nice. I even put up with the hassle of relearning the keys, which was frustrating at times. I am a touch typist, but I had to start staring at the keys a bit more to compensate for the different feel of my Natural Elite. Now, I switch from standard to natural without any trouble.

MS keyboards are just made exceptionally well -- better than any other I've had (including Logitech). I would, however, like to execute the pea-brained moron who screwed up the arrow keys on the Elite.

The only other problem is that on FPS games, I have a tendency to hit the "Windows" key with my left hand since it's right near Z, X, and C which I always have programmed to something -- the button is huge, too. In Half-Life games, it changes to the desktop and kills the sound when you switch back, requiring a reboot. :( So, I took a screwdriver and popped the button off. Problem solved. :)

I've gone natural a while ago. The natural keyboard provided to me by Dell was awesome. Then I bought this POS Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro or whatever, the one with the internet buttons up top. This POS SUCKS!!! I returned it for a second one, and the ones I tried in the store, ALL of them FVCKING squeak. I'll never buy another M$ keyboard again! POS products... the mouse wasn't bad though...

Less carpel tunnel when I use a natural keyboard. Regular keyboards cause much pain!
