Great ergonomic keyboard - two issues

I like this ergonomic keyboard, it has helped me with shoulder and arm strains. 4 stars because I have two problems with it. 1) The F7 key is on the left side and its presence there makes no sense. I'm used to F6 being the last key I can reach with my left finger, so I get confused when I have to press the F keys. I'm used to pressing F5 when refreshing the page without looking, now I have to waste an extra second to see or feel the F7 key. 2) There are two additional columns of keys on the…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not sure

The Fn key ruined everything. Blue version is better (fixed Fn key)

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
