Huge decline in quality over time

I bought my first Goldtouch about 4 years ago, and loved it. The posture was comfortable, the keys were soft... my wrist health improved perceptibly. Five stars for sure.

A couple years later, I bought two more (the same product, remember) for other computers. While the posture hasn't changed, the quality of manufacturing has decreased so much that I can't give the current model better than 2 stars. The keys stick, the space bar vibrates, and some keys require monstrous force to activate. One keyboard was so bad that I had to send it back... they were friendly, and happy to replace it, and told me that it had a known "manufacturing defect", but the replacement was only slightly better. All of the Goldtouch keyboards I've seen or owned in the last couple years have had the same problems.

As another minor annoyance, there is a power management bug such that the keyboard doesn't work coming out of standby (you have to unplug it and re-plug it); they have no fix for this problem.

This used to be a great product, and I recommended it to everyone, but now it's at best on par with the MS Natural Elite that costs _literally_ one-tenth the price.

Get your quality back up, keyovation, and I'll start recommending this again!

Not as good as the previous version

I bought this to replace an 8 year old Goldtouch keyboard that had broken (the pivot between the two halves of the keyboard broke...that's the weak point of the mechanical design of this item). So reliability is not a big issue. However, key placement is.

The Home key is now right next to the Back Space key on the upper right side; it wasn't before...I keep hitting Home when I intend to hit Back Space. Also, the location of the Delete key was moved, along with a rearrangement of all the other left-side keys. Control-alt-delete is no longer a strain-free motion with one hand...bad design (especially for Windoze users that need to use that particular set of keys...).

Overall it's the best thing on the market for relief of strain during typing, but the previous key layout was far superior to the current layout.
