Poll: Have you gone natural?

[Noriaki]

Eh? Microsoft makes keybaords? Blah!

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!
