Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 Black USB

Advantages: - This is a really ergonomic keyboard! And not a pitiful semblance
- Big and it pleases, the feeling that you have a special keyboard
- There is a stand in front. Previously, I on the contrary raised it from behind, and then I realized that it was more correct from the front.
- Keys are easy, conveniently shared
- Customizable keys
- Fire seven finds itself
- Durability

Disadvantages: - I got used to the separation of the F-row of keys for a long time, but it seems to be convenient
- Back-Forward keys for the browser quickly became unusable
- The utility of scrolling is very doubtful
- Spacebar - you need to get used to this ... tight, perhaps, key
- If you like cleanliness, then remember: it is easier to throw out than to clean
- The brush stick is very nice

Comment: After many years of faithful service and dustiness, as I already said, the Back-Forward keys stopped working, which did not strain. I decided to blow it with a vacuum cleaner (for blowing) and the "T" key began to work poorly. I decided to disassemble. In principle, it was not difficult to review, but did something wrong and some keys failed to build, after which I decided to try Genius ErgoMedia 700 Black, but I tried to appreciate all the advantages of Naturalk :)
With years of use, the “BLDHK” is partially or completely erased - why they are without a clue. I don’t remember how many years she served (and how long I’d still serve :(), but since the company was founded, the keyboard has changed only once!
The choice of ergonomic keyboards is so low that there is actually no choice. Yes, naturalka is very simple, almost completely without frills, but you find absolutely all the keys without problems and this is the only ergonomic keyboard of all that I watch. Genius ErgoMedia 700 Black is not a competitor.

If you have questions, I will answer with pleasure

Advantages: + Durability: it works for 6 years, maybe more, but she is still alive :)
+ Fucking convenient. Seriously, very comfortable.
+ I learned to type blindly :)
+ Comfortable soft leather pillow under the wrists; not torn (a couple of months ago, first broke and then blame myself, cut with a chisel)
+ the Back and Forward buttons under the space bar - I can’t imagine how to live without them
+ calculator opening button :)

Disadvantages: - Addictive :). After it, the usual flat ones seem terribly uncomfortable.
- Not fashionable now silver paint; in some places she peeled off.
- Almost immediately fell off legs
- Zoom rocker in the center of the keyboard; It is positioned as a clavia chip for working with word, but it is almost useless and often hurts when not necessary, which is why the scale of displaying web pages changes.
- Player control buttons are there, but among them there are no buttons for browsing songs (forward / backward)
- A lot of gaps in which dirt is constantly stuffed
- Loud, rattling gap; and generally loud

Comment: I took once for 700 rubles ... inflation, figly :)
The next keyboard after this one breaks will be exactly the same. Approved by all 100,500%. The only exception is a newer version of the same keyboard.
I would buy the same white one even tomorrow without waiting for the current one to break =)

Advantages: + full-ergonomic keyboard with split zones for hands.
+ thoughtfully made keys (of different sizes depending on how far the keys are relative to the standard position (empty ndj), the rule is not distributed only to the zones of the right little finger (probably because there are no letters in the Latin layout, and the keyboard is made for the west naturally)
+ multimedia keys are conveniently located (do not interfere with the set)
+ 5 you can program the keys yourself (I programmed one all the same)
+ zoom key (sometimes used when browsing web pages)
+ The stand is comfortable for the hands (with the right set - standard by the rules), the hands do not actually change their position - hence do not get tired at all.

Disadvantages: - the price is too high
- the keys are rattling a lot (although I like it, with fast typing it sounds great, but it will clearly annoy others)
- the paint quickly creeps (I don’t know who has the second such keyboard as my keyboard - the paint on both peeled off)
- fragile legs (if you’re nervous it’s better not to use them, after one blow to the keyboard, they will fall off
- hard to understand - a lot of screws, plus an unusually bolted space
- is afraid of liquids is oxidized and then difficult to reanimate

Comment: I'm satisfied with the keyboard, I type a lot and every day. Hands do not get tired at all, rather the head gets tired. An excellent choice for those who are gaining a lot, the correct blind method. Plus, the keyboard is very beautiful. I must say that she is not a gamer, therefore, her direct purpose is typing - she copes with it perfectly. The keystroke could not be attributed either to pluses or minuses, I think this is purely individual, I prefer keyboards with high keystrokes, rather than low ...

That's all. Have a good shopping! (and I’m still crawling with the keyboard for 1 year and 8 months, I’m not completely satisfied with changing anything, and she has no analogues, all other keyboards are semi-ergonomic)

Advantages: it is very convenient to type blindly, in fact, for this very purpose it is made.

Disadvantages: In my opinion, a lot of extra keys at the top. However, they do not really interfere, except that FLock is accidentally pressed out, and the keyboard itself is somewhat cumbersome because of them. And, of course, very afraid of water, stupid design. But we solve this question (see below).

Comment: If even the minimum amount of liquid is spilled, I recommend immediately turning off the keyboard, turning it over and drying it. And it is better to unscrew, wipe with a damp cloth and then dry. When disassembling, you must carefully pick up the space and unscrew the 4 screws hidden under it.

If this is still not done, and some keys have failed, the keyboard can be brought back to life if there are normal hands. Wipe with water or alcohol is now useless, it is necessary to restore the oxidized tracks. Disassemble, remove the 3 transparent films with silver paths applied on them and find the oxidized places - using a normal multimeter to ring or visually, the oxidized areas become darker. These places need (neatly, so as not to short-circuit neighboring tracks!) To fluff with a conductive marker, sold on radio markets and in electronic components stores. That's all. Do not forget to collect :)

Advantages: Convenient keyboard for speed typing. Silent keys. Customizable multimedia keys. A lot of settings to customize the keyboard. Reliability. Suitable for any purpose.

Disadvantages: Size - with a stand for reverse slope, the keyboard does not fit in the standard retractable keyboard compartment on the table. Although for me this is not a minus - I use it without this stand.
Price - has not decreased since the appearance of the keyboard on sale. On the other hand .. This keyboard is worth it, it has no worthy competitors.

Comment: I used this model for 3 years, now I bought the same one.The old worried about the sea of ​​spilled drinks like Pepsi, juices, tea and others - reliability is amazing, the keyboard could withstand everything and didn’t even think about it! But a thick milkshake is too much, half of the keys began to work incorrectly or stopped working altogether.
Nevertheless, reliability, based on such random experiments, is at its best.
The convenience of the keyboard is a major plus. Sea settings for perfect work. As a result, I received not only a keyboard for the sets, but also an excellent control panel for music, movies, games (including shooters, RPGs like WoW, racing). All these tasks are performed with pleasure. Hands do not get tired for hours. The speed of typing increases by an order of magnitude after the habituation, however, it becomes not so easy and familiar to type on ordinary keyboards.

In general, the keyboard is extremely convenient for typing, as stated, as well as for all types of other tasks. It justifies its cost, because will delight for many years. The only reason not to take this keyboard is if you need dozens of programmable buttons and displays, like on Logitech gaming units, but after all, if you are watching this model, are you hardly interested in hardcore gaming? :)

Advantages: It is very convenient for learning to type in the ten-finger method for typing on the keyboard.

Disadvantages: Badly pressed on the left side of the space bar.
Large occupying area on the table.
The feeling that the price is overestimated by half.

Comment: This keyboard can be recommended only to those who are going or are already typing blind ten-finger method. A set of two fingers with spy eyes will be extremely inconvenient.

Advantages: Best in class. The best of maykrosoftovskih chopped ergo-Klav (I worked on their entire line, starting with the old elites). If you want to take care of your joints, then this is it.

All the functionality works, you only need to put the original firewood. Lever zoom by simple editing of the registry is converted into scrolling text, which is much more convenient to use.

Disadvantages: Somewhere in half a year such a soft sound disappears when clicking, so about once every six months I change it to a new one. But it works much longer.

Comment: They cost us outrageous money. I take in the USA in blocks of 5 clav. Costing $ 25 a piece. 27, if the delivery fee. But there is also free.

Advantages: Ergonomics, my friends. Speaking of purity, I do not know why all the clavs do not do this type.

Mankind invented the wheel, and we, keyboard makers, are still moving in square cars. If to be expressed figuratively.

Unimaginably more convenient, comfortable and easier to work with this clave than with any else.

Disadvantages: It is a little inconvenient to change to the norms of the keyboard, for the reflexes are already hammered under ergonomics. But if you periodically work on this and other (regular) clave - everything will be fine.

Comment: If you type with ten fingers - this is your choice. If you have not mastered the blind method of recruitment - not sure whether it will suit you.

Advantages: The keys are very soft, comfortable, silent and ergonomically arranged, excellent additional buttons, especially "forward" and "back", which can be reassigned at your discretion, supports many simultaneously pressed keys, the zoom lever is convenient and very useful in graphic packages. The quality of materials and assembly is amazing immediately and after getting used to it for a couple of hours of use, you realize that there is nothing to complain about in this keyboard. This is the best model on the market.

Disadvantages: Recently, the price of this model has risen greatly.

Comment: Before you buy, make sure that it fits on your desk, the keyboard is really large. Also, it comes complete with a plastic stand whose purpose is to raise the front part; I did not find an application for it.

Advantages: Comfortable, accurate, soft.

Disadvantages: Krupnovata

Comment: The only way to save the keyboard from beer, wine and even water spilled on it!
Urgently disconnect the USB from the system, disassemble and dry it. There are two screws under the spacebar, so you should not apply power.
You will not have time to get to the service, the tracks on the cable will oxidize within an hour. A little patience and a Phillips screwdriver can save your keyboard !!!
