Review on Microsoft Ergonomic Black Keyboard by Ewa Baran ᠌

The keyboard takes the place of Microsoft's Natural 4000, which was recently decommissioned and has been in production since 2022. Throughout the review, I'll try to provide a side-by-side comparison of the new and old keyboards and identify their benefits and drawbacks. To evaluate where the buttons are located, I have included thorough images of the various keyboard regions. Advantages: * The keys play less and are pressed more quietly. It seems like the stroke is a little shorter now, and pressing is more difficult. * The cushion under the wrists has gotten softer and more comfortable to touch, so perhaps they will relax up with time. There are worries that the new porous material will become oily and soiled very rapidly. For the new features of Windows 10, there are a number of new buttons. Here, I'll list the ones that are most useful: * The emoji button; amusing but not much more. Perhaps helpful for the next generation. Launches Snip & Sketch when you press the screenshot button. Handy, although the original PrtScn, which still exists, could have been modified. * Workspace switch buttons - never used them, but they might be useful. * Thank goodness for the lock button; the Win + L combo was not the most practical. * Search button - launches the start menu's search box. When you start typing after pressing Win, the same result is obtained. has certain drawbacks The number of programmable keys was reduced from 5 to 3, and the forward/backward keys were removed. They were practical to use in a browser or code editor. * The zoom lever has vanished; it was ineffective but had an odd appearance and function. * A sticker (or indicator lights) are required for the ludicrous triangular empty space that appeared in the place of the lost buttons. * The context menu button is now next to the Win button on the left. It is simple to mix up unfamiliar with. office key. launches the relevant store-installed program. absolute nonsense The numeric keypad now has a Clear button that moves the system keys and Numlock to the left. Though unneeded, the solution looks safe.
