Your fingers will literally feel like they are gliding as you type. But beyond the ergonomics, the key pressing is so smooth, it's amazing. The downward angle keeps my wrists straight, the palms rests are comfortable, and now I use the little back key in front as a habit - can't go back. I have a bit of carpal tunnel, and have used a split keyboard for years. Pros: This is by far the best keyboard I have ever used. If you do a lot of typing, you owe it to your wrists and hands to try this thing out. Construction quality isn't bad, and the keyboard seems durable, but I do worry that the rubber domes will wear out faster than I would like them to. However, I have always had issues with function keys, and I did not purchase this keyboard for the function keys. And still, they only work on the rarest of occasions. The keyboard has a lot of function keys, but I had a rather difficult time actually getting them to work. It took me a while to get used to the keyboard, but I now really like it. Rather than being raked toward you, the keys slope down as you go up the keyboard. It feels very natural to rest your hands on. In terms of ergonomics, this keyboard is really nice. I was not expecting much from it, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. At normal price, it is still a pretty good deal. Overall Review: I got this keyboard at a greatly reduced price as a Shell Shocker deal.

I mapped the back/forward buttons to next/previous in WinAMP.ģ) The zoom slider, while useful when viewing photos, behaves horribly when browsing (changes the size of text).
Fortunately, hacks can be made to IntelliType's commands.xml file for finer control.Ģ) The keyboard has Mute, Play/Pause and volume control buttons but it doesn't have previous/next track control for media players. For example, the five user defined buttons at the top middle of the keyboard can only be mapped to applications.

For the price, I doubt you could get much better.ġ) As of this writing Microsoft's IntelliType v5.5 software has several limitations in terms of control.
Initially, I thought I would be removing the the front insert but I stuck to and after some getting used to, it improves comfort. The four keys above the numpad, the zoom slider and back/forward buttons are a nice touch. Everything is very well laid out and intuitive (no weird arrow and six key placement). It has been a pleasure both typing documents and coding on this keyboard. Pros: The previous reviewer put it very well: "Soooo Comfortable, it's like I'm typing on kittens!" Heheh.
