Hello,

I need to get myself a new split keyboard, cause my new job is giving me karpel tunnel (well, not yet....)

I use a MS Natural Pro at home, and it rocks. Unfortunately, it's replacement, the MS Natural Media, has messed up positioning for insert/home/end/delete/page up/page down.... fine for my gramma, but horrible for anyone who doesn't use the mouse 99% of the time.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this, so what are people using now for a split with normally-placed insert/.../page down keys????

Thanks

I just recently, withing the last two weeks, purchased the standard MS Natural keyboard from one of the local shops here, http://www.dataccomputers.com/

They're still out there, ya just gotta hunt 'em down! :)

I use their (Belkin) ergonomic keyboard. It isn't bad.

I've been looking for a good wireless split keyboard? Does anybody know off a good one? I too use the MS Natural, but would like to refrain from doing so. How is Logitech's keyboards? I have a Logitech mouse and it rocks! :D

Too bad, 'cause this is one of the best keyboard.

I agree that it is a great keyboard, but I hate to support the "enemy" ;)

The first split keyboard I've used is the Belkin ergoboard. It's a great keyboard, and allows you to give it negative tilt(which really really helps the wrists a lot)

I'm buying a jet black one with my new computer. Did you know that there are $500 keyboards out there?

Thanks for the ideas. I checked out that Belkin Ergoboard, and it looks really good... exactly what I want. Now I just need to get my hands on one.

And of course, getting a non-MS keyboard is the best option :)

Office Depot should carry the Belkin Ergoboards. If you live in Canada, and don't mind buying online, then definately go to www.vibecomputers.com. Their service is very very good.
