Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

A keyboard is a very important thing for a computer. You can just not use a bad keyboard, you use a keyboard all the time on a computer, so you need a good one. Now I got this as a gift, and was not expecting much. I have feel for the "Ultimate comfort accurate keyboard" and spent £50 on it, only to find the keys are all in different places, and it is impossable to touch type with. So opening the box, I saw that they keys are all different shapes, and they keyboard was a curved shape. So not expecting much, I plugged it in, and gave it a go. Now, they layout was very good. I quite liked it. I could type better than my old one, and to be honest, even ...  Read the complete review

Since I've been using this keyboard every day for over a year, I think it's time I reviewed it! Mine is the wired version, but I believe you can also get a wireless one. This keyboard has the keys in a slightly curved formation, the idea being that you type with your hands positioned so that the fingertips are pointing slightly inwards, this being a more natural position than you get by typing on a basic 'straight' keyboard. **Build** I have been using computers for longer than I care to remember, and have used many, many keyboards in that time. This one comes in black, with the usual little 'feet' on the back underside so that you can raise ...  Read the complete review

For many years now, since my first exciting but baffling association with a PC, I have always typed my magazine articles on the Olivetti keyboard that came with my first computer, bought from Radio Rentals. And to give you some idea of how long ago that was, the computer was loaded with Windows 3.5. Because that keyboard is so good, (the computer itself is long-gone), I have never considered buying a replacement or a spare; until recently. During a shopping trip at Tesco I noticed the 'Comfort Curve' on the shelf and, purely on impulse, I bought it. Until today I have hardly used it, but noticing that Dooyoo needed a review for that particular ...  Read the complete review

This is one of Microsoft's lower end keyboards, with just a wired USB connection (PS/2 adaptor included) and an ergonomic feel in mind. When your fingers first start tapping away you will probably notice a somewhat odd feel about it, since the keyboard is designed ergonomically rather than the usual "flat" layout the keys are held almost around a curve, meaning that some are larger than others, which can lead to you accidentally hitting the wrong letter. This is most noticeable when you first use the keyboard, or use it after being stuck in front of a standard keyboard for a long time. I think that the layout is supposed to be better for your health, ...  Read the complete review
