Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 Reviews
However, after about a month, the function keys (F1 - F12) stopped working. I like the quite keys, and I have not experienced the "stiffness" that others have complained about. For the first month, it seemed to work fine. I bought this keyboard to use with my new laptop. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and everything else I can find on the web, but to no avail.
It has laptop style keys and is a joy to work on. I returned this item and am using the Logitech UltraX Media Keyboard. Unfortunately, they were not. This keyboard has a lot of great features (scroll control, etc) but the spacebar makes this keyboard unusable. I was hoping that the other reviews here were exaggerated. The space bar is miserable to press.
I just wish the keys were a little easier to depress. The layout of this keyboard is great and very comfortable.
Regardless we all know what a keyboard should feel like (and if MS puts an ergonomic on the box I expect it to feel better than that), also this problem has been around for over a year and they are still shipping keyboards with the problem. A design flaw with the keyboard and a inability to manage quality in the MS hardware group. I want to like this keyboard and overall I think it has a very nice feel. But the space key is very difficult to press down. Hunting through reviews, I noticed quite a few complaints about this (some reviews going back to 2007) and Im guessing that some of the keyboards have the problem some dont luck of the draw.
I have had it for 9 months now and it has only become more annoying. This means that half the time you press the N key and you get nothing. This is especially annoying for me as I'm just learning to touch type. Comfort-wise it is a good keyboard but it's hard to appreciate when 50% of my N's go missing. It has been widely reported and I will confirm: The N key is wider than the other keys (to fill in space) and the mechanical trigger for the key is in the center rather than towards the right where you typically hit the key.
