    5.0 out of 5 stars Improvement on Perfection!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 1999
    Verified Purchase
    I purchased the original MS Natural Keyboard when they first arrived on the market and my wrists INSTANTLY fell in love with it. The new and improved keyboard has better key action than the original, the space bar has been enlarged for those of us that type like normal users and not like professional developers. My reason for purchasing the Natural Keyboard Pro over the MS Natural Keyboard Elite was mainly due to the fact that the ARROW Keys are NORMALLY SIZED. With the Natural Keyboard Elite, the arrow keys are scrunched into this diamond shape near the keypad. When I went to use them, I would continuously hit all of them at once causing all sorts of chaos and verbal malediction to be uttered by yours truly.
    The hot keys are a nice feature, but I rarely use them, except for the Sleep and Calculator Keys. The software included does allow you to customize the Mail, My Computer and Calculator keys so you can reassign them to launch any app, batch file or .PIF that you want. The software also allows you to turn off the Windows Keys on either the left or right side and most importantly it allows you to turn off the Application Key (which can be annoying if you're trying to play games, etc..)
    To sum, it's a great keyboard, easy to install, setup and customize. If you have an original MS Natural Keyboard, you will love this one. If you've got big hands, buy this one and skip the Natural Elite.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad design
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2000
    I'm a fan of the original Microsoft Natural keyboard and use it at work everyday. This new version seemed to have all the features that I'd love to have on a home keyboard. Unfortunately, the design and build-quality is nowhere near acceptable.
    First problem, the extra buttons for controlling internet and Multi-media are a great (though not original) idea. However, the way they are implemented here makes them unusable. All buttons are evenly spaced, small, and blue and are placed with no rhyme nor reason. After 3 weeks with this keyboard, I still couldn't hit the correct button without looking carefully for the small lettering telling me where Volume Up was.
    The other great feature idea of this keyboard is that it is a hub for USB devices. The placement of the connectors, however, make it awkward to use. They are located in the center rear of the keyboard and therefore butt-up against my monitor base (which like all monitors I've ever seen is in the center of the viewing area). Due to the fact that the USB connector extends 3 inches by design, you must have a minimum of 4" of space between your keyboard and monitor. Many desks are not big enough for this to happen, especially if you have a now-almost-standard 19" monitor. If Microsoft's hardware designers had done some real-world research they would have moved the USB connectors to one side or at least tunneled into the keyboard so that the connector didn't stick out so far.
    The final nail in the coffin for this miserable excuse for a keyboard is that it is unreliable. I used this keyboard on 3 separate computers over a 3 week period and several times on each system, it would simply stop functioning until I rebooted. I replaced the keyboard once and got the same behavior. Others I've spoken with have seen this happen as well. No other keyboard has ever given me this kind of problem on any of my systems so this is just bad design/build quality.
    Beware of this garbage. If you want a keyboard with cool extra buttons, try the IBM version which is programmable (the Microsoft one is not). There are lots of ergomomic choices out there, as well. Don't make a mistake and buy the Microsoft Natural Pro.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Ergonomy is more than a split keyboard
    Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2000
    I tried very hard to like this keyboard, but I just couldn't. Though it has a lot of very cool special function buttons, it fails to do the basic thing a keyboard should do: be comfortable to type on. And the packaging is mildly misleading about the nature of the USB ports.
    I didn't find anything particularly "ergonomic" about the keyboard. The curve of the board is just a little too steep for my hands. It's awkward getting to the extreme upper corners, such as the all-important "backspace" key. I found the distorted size of the bottom row of keys hard to get used to as well. And the hand rest can't be detached. Most disappointingly, the key action is awkward and loud. I'm not sure I've ever encountered any keyboard which felt worse under my fingertips. Even the non-ergonomic version of this keyboard has keys that feel better.
    Likewise, the much-touted USB ports are a mixed bag. Though prominent among the advertised features, the USB ports aren't sufficiently explained on the packaging. You don't actually increase the total number of USB ports on your system by two. You MUST plug the keyboard into an existing USB port, so you get a net gain of only ONE port. And they're unpowered ports which means you can't plug bigger USB devices--like hubs, printers, and scanners--into them and expect great results. This is not a way to add USB functionality to your system; it only rearranges where the ports are. This redistribution does have its utility, however. Game controllers, microphones, and digital audio player downloads can be moved forward to the keyboard. If you find yourself crawling under your desk all the time to switch out your smaller USB devices, this keyboard will add some needed convenience to your life.
    In sum, I strongly advise anyone who's thinking of buying this keyboard to test it first. Find a demonstration model in a computer store and try typing on it. If you like it, fine: come back here and buy it. As long as you understand the limitations of the USB ports and can deal with the key action, the keyboard is actually a good value for money. But while you're testing keyboards, make sure you try a whole range of them. Get one that's really comfortable for your hands-not just one that seems to be cool.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Number 6 Position & Curve of Keyboard Annoying
    Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2007
    First, this thing is great on the wrists, BUT the number 6 is in the wrong position for a true typist, and the curve of the keyboard on the right hand is SO curved that my ring finger on my right hands is actually SORE from reaching in such an odd position. I give this keyboard a 6 out of 10 (no pun intended).
