Review on Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 (PP4-00001), Black: Superior Ergonomics and Performance by Octavius Webster

Update: After using this keyboard for about a month, I've noticed that this keyboard is actually not as ergonomic as I thought it would be. . I still have one of these, and one weekend I noticed my hands were all tingling trying to type fast on this thing. I stuck with it for a while but found that I wasn't really getting what I really wanted from this keyboard, which was something I could type a lot on and feel comfortable on for a long time, and at the same time be able to type very quickly. I've also kind of developed tendonitis in several fingers from using this and other so-called "ergonomic" keyboards. Your mileage may vary, but this whole experience made me realize what's ergonomic for some people may not be so ergonomic for others, and that just because a keyboard is more expensive doesn't mean it's a guarantee of quality. I know I can, with the Logitech MK120 keyboard and now the K740, which I love to type on. As for the Comfort Curve, I'll probably keep it as a backup and sell the extra one I have in my room, but I won't miss it much. The keyboard was mediocre at best. I found the Ergo 4000 with its super soft keys even worse, and I had problems with the RSI several times when using it. I'm very picky about the keyboards I use because I type a lot at work and also program after work, so it's very important for me to have something I can comfortably type on for hours. Ende and unfortunately I don't think this keyboard is really best suited for such a purpose. I've never used a mouse for these and have heard it had a lot of problems. This is the best keyboard I've ever used. hands down The buttons feel just right, and for my little hands, everything about the design just works super well for easy access to the buttons without having to think too much about where they are. I'm a very fast touch typist and I've tried other keyboards but they kept slowing me down and irritated my hands a lot like this mechanical keyboard I've been using at work for a while. I tried the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for a month and couldn't get used to the split design and always felt like I had to press really deep for something to register on the screen, which made my hands really uncomfortable. I recently tried the Logitech Comfort Curve for a few days and found it better than many keyboards I've used, but couldn't stand its noise and the keys were too hard for my liking. I use it with a small Logitech mouse and was happy to be typing again because the keys are so nice, soft and comfortable and very reminiscent of the keys on my MacBook Air that I had before. They also don't bother any of the RSI issues I've had in the past. Works great with Linux. All you have to do is insert the batteries, plug the dongle into the USB and you're done. I can't imagine using anything else now. Useful for all the marketing and copywriting I have to come up with every day at work, and then for all the coding and programming I do when I get home, so with all the typing I do every day needs to do, a great keyboard is mandatory. Here's also a tip if you're looking for an ergonomic keyboard. What is "ergonomic” for one person may not be for another. Go to a store like Best Buy and try on a keyboard before you buy it, and if you find one that looks amazing, go for it. That's how I found out that it's actually the right keyboard for me without wasting more time ordering online, using the keyboard for a couple of weeks and then realizing that it's still not the best choice for me.
