Thank you. I am not a Doctor, but I've used this style of keyboard for almast as long as it has been available. This keyboard is essential to the effective use of my computer.
The price on Amazon was competitive, but with free shipping (and the patience to wait 3 weeks) made it a good deal. This was a replacement for the same keyboard that I broke, but it is service that counts.
The keys are 'light', you don't need a lot of pressure, and it's pain free for my wrists. I had one of these at work for several years, until one too many cups of coffee was spilled on it. I highly recommend this keyboard, both for its features and the price. I've had my new keyboard for several weeks now and I love it. I have used several different ergonomic keyboards both at home and work, and out of all the ones I have used (and I have used some very expensive ones), this one is still my favorite.
Excellent product. This keyboard keeps your hands in a normal anatomical position and is very easy to get used to. I highly recommend it. This is the best keyboard I have ever used. I suffer from arthritis and am status post bilateral carpal tunnel surgery.
Although I can probably type just as quickly on a straight keyboard, I am definitely more accurate on the Natural Elite. It would be nice if they made one in a different color (mine is looking somewhat dingy after many years of use).
I'm not an expert on ergonomics so I can't help you there. Also, mine is a PS/2 model and I don't know if I still have the USB adapter that it originally came with.
The Microsoft Natural Elite is my favorite keyboard by far. One of the best things about this keyboard is the complete lack of extra buttons, switches, and clutter.
I am a touch typist and I do quite a bit of writing (PhD student) and I can sit at my desk for extended periods of time with little difficulty.Overall: great quality, great feel, great speed, great reliability, and no extra junk. I have been using one since 1999 (about 9 years now).
I have also used a Logitech "ergonomic" keyboard, but I didn't like the feel.
