Advantages: High levels of comfort offered

Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to initially

I have had this Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard pack for the last 2 1/2 years, and it has proved a very reliable piece of equipment.

I'm not too technical from an IT point of view, so will review this product from an everyday user's point of view.

The keyboard is an attractive piece of equipment, in complementary black & silver colours, and it offers a lot in terms of comfort, including a padded lower edge where the majority of contact with your wrist is, and nice springy keys which don't take a lot of thumping to type what you want! Obviously the keyboard is not your average shape & initially takes some getting used to, as the keys are split in the middle & arranged at an angle to each other; I find however that once you've got used to what keys to use with each hand, it makes it far easier & quicker to type (which is a large part of my job so I feel well qualified to comment here!).

The keyboard connects very easily via a USB port to the hard drive of your PC, as does the mouse which is also a good shape & easy to use).

The keyboard also offers quote a few fast keys at the top of the board for internet access, volume control & calculator functions.

I think with these keyboards, you either love them or hate them, but I would recommend everyone to persevere as once you're used to them you will never revert back to the more traditional shape of keyboard!
