   It’s a keyboard. Though when the specs say: …limited functionality with Windows 8.1 and 7. they mean that since Win 7 is no longer supported all the customizable functions will be unable to be accessed on a Windows 7 device (They don’t have the program Win 7 compatible) . Otherwise it does what it says, you press keys and it types.

   Went with the MS version based on previous experience. I;ve used others but the quality for the price is hard to beat.

   There’s a learning curve to this, for sure. I’ve always been a fan of Microsoft’s ergonomics, and this is definitely a good one. If you don’t touch type, you should not even be looking at it!

   The looks and key feel are improved over the older MS Natural Ergonomic 4000. Unfortunately, they added a few new, pretty useless keys. Worst is the Office key, which is a dedicate launcher just for MS Office apps. I never use this and hitting it brings up a slow launchpad application. It feels like an ad right on my keyboard. I was able to disable this in the registry fortunately. There’s also a new emoji key. Since win+period already does that on Windows, this key isn’t that useful for the space it takes. By having the extra keys it pushes the menu/app key to the left side of the spacebar, which screws up the sizes and positions of the primary ctrl, windows, and alt keys. After a few weeks I got used to the new keys (i.e., I work around them but never use them). Otherwise, this is a very comfortable keyboard, so it’s a real shame they added these gimmick keys.

   This is a pretty nice keyboard at its price point. The wrist rest is soft and almost oversized, keystroked are nearly silent, tactile feedback is ok, and quality and appearance is good.

   I’ve been using MS ergonomic keyboards since 1997, and subsequent versions are not as good as my first one. In 2006 I bought a second one for home use. That one was excellent but after 14 years it finally died. In 2917 I bought another MS ergonomic keyboard and that one was okay except I kept missing the space bar. Prolly due to the lack of slant. A couple months ago I bought a third MS ergonomic keyboard. This one is missing all the goo-gahs of the previous one, and the slant is almost non-exsistent, but I guess it’ll hafta do. The riser bar was made for the part nearest the user and it should have been made for the part farthest from the user. The keys are just about level, requiring me to stretch to reach the number row. I can verify all the other negative comments I’ve seen about this keyboard. The keyboard arrived in excellent condition and only 3 days after I ordered it from B&H.

   I purchased the MS Ergo KB along with a trackball mouse because I have Carpal Tunnel and Radiculopathy and the combo is making time at my computer less stressful 🙂
