Microsoft Natural Pro

I needed to get a natural keyboard at work because I had started to experience pains in my hands from all the typing I was doing. This was the one that my employers purchased for me, and here's what I think of it. First of all, it really looks like it would be comfortable to use. Its large and the keys are separated down the middle with the number lock light, caps lock light and one other light (which I don't know what its for) filling up the space between the two sets of keys. If only for the excellent placement of these lights, I'd say that this keyboard is wonderful. It's very convenient to look straight down and see that your caps lock is on when you type ...  Read the complete review

I own this keyboard. In fact, I could not even think about using anything else now. You would think a keyboard is just like any other, until you see the Natural by Microsoft. Instead of its normal linear fashioned layout, the Natural takes the standards for tradition and throws them out of the window in the way the type writer was discarded by the PC. It does this in its shape and usage. The normal layout of the keyboard would be 4 lines of numerical keys and letters in a continous line from Right to Left. Not forgetting the spacebar at the bottom. Now, the keys have been divided along the middle vertically into 2 parts and angled to each other. ...  Read the complete review

... and I’ve also heard people laugh about the “Natural” keyboard. But look at us now, if it’s not a wheely mouse we won’t use it! And the same will be true for the “natural” keyboard (the correct word would ergonomic meaning: Natural to your bodies movements, but Microsoft assumes us all to be stupid!). I brought one on a whim, thinking maybe it would help ease the pain in my wrists (not that I’ve injured or strained my wrists in anyway at all!) The keyboard comes in a lovely cardboard box with all the instructions you could ever need. It also comes with some device drivers on disk and some Intelli-type ...  Read the complete review

The Microsoft Natural Keyboard is a keyboard you either love, or, you guessed it, hate! Lets explain it first though for any of you who don’t know what the Natural Keyboard actually is. I actually only had mine for about 2 weeks before I spilt lemonade all over it, so first off I can tell you that it isn’t lemonade proof and secondly I can tell you that you shouldn’t spend £50 on a keyboard and then go and spill stuff all over it! Firstly, I’m sure you’ve all seen one. The Natural Keyboard is the keyboard that is split into 2 areas, one for your left hand with half the keys on and the other half for your right hand with the rest of ...  Read the complete review

I was diagnosed with R.S.I (Repetitive Strain Injury) just after I left college due to the amount of work that I did on computers and of course keyboards. My life and work revolves around being able to type accurately and with some speed attached as well. My old keyboard was simply one they chuck in with any new PC. I used it for a couple of months and felt my wrists getting much worse. So after contacting a local association that advises on these matters, I invested in the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. The price didn’t bother much; if it could keep me typing I didn’t really care. When it arrived I plugged it in and it worked straight away, no need to ...  Read the complete review
