However, as some have noted, the movement keys (arrows, home, end, pg up/dn, ins, del) are rather small compared to the average straight keyboard, and they're all reorganised, too. Apparently this has been fixed in more recent editions of the board, but on this one, the Insert, &c. block have been ordered into three rows of two, rather than two of three, and this can make finding the delete key by touch, for example, a little difficult. Not only have the arrows been moved into a cruciform arrangement, but they're also about half the size of the rest of the keys, which again makes them hard to find.
However, the keyboard as a whole is a responsive, pain-reducing, joy to use. Now if only their software were so good. . .
Arrow keys are almost obsolete with a scrolling mouse, and I don't miss the big space hogs at all. This is a good product overall, but I dock it one star for a mushy space bar.Good for people who type and type and type and.... I've had this keyboard for about a year and use it for at least 8 hours a day while at work. I'm going to buy another one for home use too. I was having trouble with carpal tunnel, which was my primary reason for buying the keyboard. After about 6 weeks of using this keyboard I had fewer problems with my wrists. I haven't escaped it completely, but as a programmer that is something that will probably hang around for life.
Getting to know the repositioning of the keys was less agrivating than I thought it would be and I can still use both a straight keyboard and the ergonomic ones with very little difficulty when switching from on PC to the other.
Hooking it up was literally just unplugging the old keyboard and plugging this one in. After a year I've had no trouble with it.
If you type a lot, I would pick one of these up.
