I too have the natural elite and I dont like using the straight keyboards either.

I remember a while back, reading about a laptop keyboard which used the kinetic energy from keystrokes to recharge the battery. Granted, they only suggested about 10-20% improved battery life in standard usage, but the technology sounded neat-o.

MY Dell Quiet Key OWNZ j00!
hehe. I got this thing from my moms dell in 1998. Its old, and dirty (never been cleaned). Some keys stick and the Shift key seems to be held for too long. I always get the second letter capped as well. But dude... ITS AWSOME!

I would like it if it did not have a Windows key. I always seem to accidentally hit it in the middle of a game or something, then by the time I get unscrambled, I am dead. :disgust:

Personally, i have a love for the IBM Model M keyboard. the clicky 101 key just does it for me.

But it would be so much nicer if it was quiet so I could use mine here at college.

it doesn't have much use anymore. It works with some KVM switches, to save the hassle of manually switching the computers (i use Scroll Lock 1 and Scroll Lock 2 for my first and second computer respectively)

I wish my MS Natural Pro were both wireless and black. Anyone know where I can find such a thing?

Perfect? If it had room for my Russian Keyboard Stickers. It's a Dvorak/QWERTY switchable keyboard, and it has both on it.

Other than that, I'd suggest maybe making the keys a little softer. Not a biggie though.

i miss the good'ol days when keyboards use to click whenever you strike a key. It always made me feel like I was type REALLY fast because there was both a click going up and one going down. :)
