Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 (B2L-00002) Reviews
I've bought 3 of these keyboards - two for home, one for work. Have never had a problem with any of these after heavy use for several years. I use a mac at work, but don't like their keyboards so I use this one. Wow, Microsoft did something right.
Unfortunately, the keypad has started to die out (I've lost my 2s and 3s), but I believe this to be a user issue and not hardware. The key placement is very comfortable, especially for an ergo keyboard. The quiet type is really soft and smooth. This keyboard has been with more for about two years now. Key placement is alright, though the space bar can get a bit loud when you start typing fast.
For that reason I rated it as average but don't look at that as a bad thing. I'm a game designer and 3D artist so I work at the computer often.
It has all the necessary short cut keys and was easy to set up. I really don't have any complaints so far.
This is a very nice keyboard with an ergonomic feel. The button placement is pretty well thought out.
I'm sure there are other keyboards out there with more bells, whistles, and light displays but this one does what it should.
The keyboard is super thin and light weight. I got this for Christmas and will probably continue using it until I upgrade my rig.
So, get two - like me, you might want to replace the one at work as well. I think that's all that a keyboard review is about - the intangible aspects that won't hit you till you get your hands on it. almost bordering on serial-killer psychopathic. Next the travel and the resistance are phenomenal.
Type speed is up almost 100% and typo rates are down almost 50% (I was no spelling-bee but I can spell fine). So there were about 25 boxes pried open on the local Frys' shelf amidst the menacing and despising looks I was getting from the 'this aisle was proudly merchandised by' guy. Another keyboard was on par with this one but it was a $79.99 Logitech. I can type reviews without waking people with the clickity-clack. Dell's self-proclaimed 'Quietkey' keyboard is a joke compared to this. I'm like a keyboard hound so keen that I can detect minor manufacturing variations in a batch supplied to a department. I'm very particular about the various aspects of a keyboard. Now I couldn't bring to my house what I had at work so I tried 36 different keyboards.
A bit up there. I have 'swapped' keyboards all the way from different buildings if I found one to be a better feel than mine. And remember these were all the same model. This keyboard is quite like I have never heard before.
She does a lot of data entry as a community wellness nurse. She has been typing at least 6 hours a day lately to get all the data entered before the end of the year. She says that the new keyboard has reduced finger and wrist stress significantly. I bought this keyboard for my wife to use at work. Her only complaint is that the new keyboard does not fit her tray as well. It fits her small hand size perfectly. She is not nearly as tired as she was with the old standard keyboard.
