Review on πŸ’» Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 4000 (3.0) Silver PS2/USB Mac/Win - Efficient and Versatile Desktop Solution by Mat Thompson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Keys sticky, mouse buttons hard to press, unresponsive

I've been using the Natural Wireless Keyboard for a long time, but it broke and I was looking for a replacement. I bought this keyboard thinking it would be a good keyboard and boy was I wrong. First of all, if you're familiar with natural keyboards, these are the ones that have a split keyboard and the keys are spaced at least an inch apart down the middle. The comfortable keyboard isn't split down the middle, it's just curved and should feel the same, but it doesn't. I typed about two letters and my hands were starting to hurt. The mouse is bad too. The keys are very hard or firm. I had to press very hard for the buttons to work. The scroll button was also very stiff. I had programmed a scroll button to be used as a back button and it almost never registered that functionality. I had to return this keyboard and instead purchase an upgraded version of my original keyboard, which is now a Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard with the Intellimouse Wireless Explorer to match. 2.0 I am so happy with this keyboard and my hands are fine now even after typing this long review.
