Decent keyboard with some issues

Compared to Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard, this is a worthy replacement. There are some minor issues that are a bit annoying. Firstly, unlike the Microsoft board, this board is tilted downwards and doesn't have little jack feet on the front to lift it up. There are two legs in the back, but what's the point? You have to be ahead. So if you have a waist-level plank on a table shelf, the palm rests are utterly useless when using those rear legs. Even if you put it on a table, they're still useless as you have to bend your wrists to use them. Of course you can remove them and partially use the support bar, but the wrists are still slanted, not straight, which is the point of the bar in the first place. Bad design idea. The arrangement of the Home, End, Delete, Page Up/Down and Insert keys is not very practical for the more familiar keyboard layout, as they are vertical instead of horizontal. I usually know exactly where they are and I don't have to look. With this board I do every time until I get used to it. After all, two places are a bit tight, at least for me. The left likes to pretend that sometimes it needs a little more pressure than usual to come down. They work well but their movement could be smoother. Those issues aside, I like the board, but would like to raise the front end so the wrist rest area is useful.
