Rating: Summary: There must be better ergo keyboards out there. Review: All the keys on my right hand are in the wrong place, especially the bottom row. I have to lean to the right to get my right hand in the right place to hit the keys with reasonable accuracy. The keyboard could probably benefit from an additional 10 to 15 degrees of "split". The keyboard is just too straight to use the straight-back key layout. This keyboard is a neon pasty white that will not match any of your other devices or furniture for that matter. It is a brighter pastier white than the iPod. Finally, this keyboard (while it does have a nice feel and doesn't squeak) makes enough noise so that it sounds like a team of tap dancers.

Rating: Summary: Dont waste your money. Review: Butter, silk, velvet; these are the words that come to mind when typing with this keyboard. WHY HAVE WE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG? Almost every other Natural, ergonomic, or other completely misnomered keyboard has the left leaned keys you have to twist the wrist to catch. Not this baby! If you were to put your fingers in a comfortable position and then paint a new keyboard with easing strokes of your hand, this is what you would end up with. It's almost as if microsoft and the plethera of HMO's are in bed together to make money from purposely maldesigned keyboards. Trust this one thing, your fingers and wrists will never stop saying thank you!

Rating: Summary: The best ever!! Review: I am a professional musician and am constatntly on the lookout for ways to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. This keyboard just feels great to use. It is a mechanical keyboard, and there is a click that allows you to know just when you have engaged the key enough. This allows you to learn how much effort it takes for a keystroke, which is not much, and by learning this efficiancy, you can give you hands and wrists a welcome break. I use many different programs and it is not the best thing for programs with highly specialized key combinations, like games or some graphics programs, but for touch typing of text, it is the best!! I have one at home that is ADB, that I am going to have to replace for use with USB/OSX (note: because I am giving up on the drivers for the iMate in OS X 10.2.3+, not because of the keyboard) and one at work that is PC/USB which is newer and seems to be a little more responsive; perhaps it is a result of customer feedback. It is noisy with all the clicking, but is kinda cool when you are really moving along. For reason, perhaps because it is such a great product, they are always out of stock. I am looking forward to having a USB keyboard at home so that I can easily switch between the Smartboard for text work and the Apple one for programs that use different key combinations.
Rating: Summary: Dont waste your money. Review: I like the feel of the keys when they are depressed, its just that they are attatched so weakly. Ive already broken off the right shift, return, and delete key, and ive only been using this thing for less than 2 weeks. I also have a big problem with the layout. Alot of they keys are just put in random places. It almost seems like they just couldnt figure out how to put them where they normaly go so they just put them somewhere that was easy for them. I hate to say it, but go with microsoft :(
