Customers find value in the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000's ergonomic design, ease of use, and comfortable wrist support, with many praising the key feel and affordable price. However, some users experienced issues with the space bar, and others found the keyboard to be larger than expected. A common wish among customers was for a wireless version. The positive feedback on comfort and price is frequently highlighted in customer reviews.
I was developing epicondylitis due to repetitive stress injury from my previous keyboard. Along with a few other changes I bought and started using this Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. It looks like a beast on my desk, and has a pretty big footprint. (For perspective, the photo shows the keyboard in front of my Apple 30" Cinema Display monitor.) But the keyboard certainly helped relieve my forearm stress and the tendinitis is almost healed. PROS: *Great* price! (way cheaper and better quality than most keyboards) Super comfortable to type on Nice extra buttons and media keys Solid quality build CONS: Not backlit Space bar is a little tough to press compared to other keys (perhaps because it is not split and goes all the way across the bend) If you are having repetitive stress injury then seriously consider this keyboard.

I bought this for my son who is in college and also a gamer, because he is on his laptop all the time and with the keyboard design I thought it might help him so his hands and wrists might not ache as much. He was sceptical about it at first and immediately after he started using it he was really happy with it and thought it was the greatest thing. Since he began using it he has not complained about his hands or wrists which has enabled him to be able to concentrate and helps him type faster and not keep stopping because of aches and pain, and a plus with him was his gaming has improved because most of the buttons he uses are all on the one side of the keyboard.

With my disability, SEVERE DIGENERATIVE DISC. The contours of the keyboard places my hands arms and shoulders in a position that is comfortable and practical for typing. With the standard keyboard after 10 minutes of typing the stress is so bad, my neck and shoulders lock up, this takes awhile to relax those muscles to a point where I can move my head. My neck is the location of the Severity and is the most vulnerable. Best product for me. Thank you!
