Why we should pay about 100 dollars for a keyboard if we can a keyword that has almost the keys that worth only 15 dollars? This question always comes to our mind when we want to purchase a new keyboard. The answer that we are looking for is all about fixing our poor typing posture with better ergonomic design. This is the same case for Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 which is specially designed to cure our hazardous habit - poor typing posture, which can wreak havoc on our wrists.

When I first review and use the Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, I just didn’t feel comfortable with this Microsoft keyboard because of its unconventional design. Nevertheless, after a day or two, I start to appreciate the design of the Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 as I don’t feel much pain on my wrist as I used to have when I use my regular computer keyboard. Besides less pain, the well-padded palm rest that comes with the Keyboard 4000 made me feel more comfortable on my hands after long hours of typing.

The Microsoft Keyboard 4000 attempts to correct our hand positioning in several ways.

First, the keys on the keyboard are laid out in a curve with center keys that are proportionately oversize to compensate for how often you use them. A 14 degree gable separates the two groups of keys, which is complemented by the curved key bed and 7-degree wrist rest. The gable design of the Microsoft Keyboard 4000 allows us to position our forefingers higher than our little fingers, so our wrists adopt a more ergonomic position.

Besides great ergonomic design, the Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 also has five programmable favorites keys for launching applications that you want, a convenient zoom slider button and forward & backward keys for you to go back and forward when your browse internet. All these special keys on the Microsoft Keyboard 4000 makes you do less mousing.

One thing that I want to point out clearly is the Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 only supports USB port, NOT P/S 2 port. So, if you are thinking of getting yourself a 4000 keyboard, please be ready to sacrifice one of your USB port.
