An EXCELLENT Keyboard Choice for Split Keyboard Fans

This is a terrific value for a superb keyboard. If you're a split keyboard fan, you know that once you've tried one, you'll never look back. This is a USB (wired) keyboard. If you are a fast typist, you actually WANT a USB keyboard and not a wireless one. So this is a winner.Here are the qualities I like best:1. Split design. This allows you to relax both hands in a more ergonomic, natural, relaxed typing position. The keys are slightly angled, or splayed, so that your fingers can reach keys with ease. Personally, I find conventional keyboards too cramped and crowded to type particularly fast. With a split board, my fingers fly.2. Two Spacebars. Each spacebar is easy to reach, positioned under each split keypad. More convenient than you know. Also helps speed typing tasks.3. Built in wristrest is positioned "just right." Comfortable, large, and curved.4. Board is "mounded" in the center (the area where the two split keyboards converge is higher than the outside edges). Again, this improves the ergonomics. Typing is faster, easier, and less fatiguing.5. Speed buttons (silver) at the top of the keyboard. These let you quickly launch your browser, search, email, put the computer to sleep, increase volume, decrease volume, and mute your speakers.My Wish List?Overall, I love this keyboard (I also have a 10 year old one by Fellowes on an older desktop). HOWEVER, I would love it if Fellowes would offer a "Cadillac" version. I would pay more for:1. Slightly softer keys (these require a firm press).2. A truly QUIET keyboard. I am among the few, I'm sure, who are somewhat irritated by the sound of keys clacking. This board's not bad, but it's not what I'd define as quiet. I would truly rank this as a PERFECT keyboard if the keys were a bit softer and quieter.As far as I know, this is one of the best keyboards on the market for split keyboard fans. Other brands are more expensive, but many of them have quirks I couldn't live with (like dropped keystrokes). I've never had an "oops" with this one. Any typing mistakes I make with the board are MINE and not the keyboard's. A+; Highly recommended for its quality and exceptional value.Have a question about this keyboard? Leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can.

I bonded with this keyboard instantly

This is a well-built institutional quality ergonomic keyboard. It's not as fancy or loaded with features like the [[ASIN:B004SUIM4E Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for Business], but nor does it have the kinds of issues that people are complaining about when you read the Microsoft product's reviews.It's been a decade since I used the first 1st generation of split keyboard from Microsoft in the early 2000s. I read the reviews of all the ergonomic keyboards sold on Amazon. Based on that I decided it was worth trying the Fellowes.It was amazing upon ripping the Fellowes keyboard of the box and plugging it in, how instantly I was able to type at my fastest speed with no hesitation. Now only that, it's quiet and feels great on my wrists and shoulders.The one thing that required some getting used to was he height of the keyboard (not the height of the keys). Normally, I rest my wrists on gel pad. Since this seems to come with a hard plastic wrist rest, I tried that instead. But it was really awkward. It felt like my hands were going up an incline.What eventually worked for me was to simply rest my elbows on my chairs armrests and from there suspend my hands up above and type on the keyboard that way.Another slight downer was that this us about as dull-looking a keyboard as you can imagine. It's gray and about as far away from iPad chic as you can imagine. Not a big deal, but that's one thing I like about the Microsoft ergonomic keyboards.One thing I've also heard others mention: Yes, I was a bit concerned about the height of the keys. Honestly, in an age of chiclet style keys you often see on laptops, I the Followes keys looked something you'd see on an IBM Selectric. But no...it's just retro styling I guess because the keys successfully register with just the amount of the pressure.If you're considering going egro, make this one of your top candidates. The complaints you hear about the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for Business and its freaky space bar with a mind of it's own, are non-issue with the Fellowes.One interesting bit of trivia to the reviewers who've stated that it has the non-standard keyboard layout. I check out an old 1st generation Microsoft Natural Keyboard from circa 2003 that I have. The layout is the same in the Fellowes is the same. So we might call this standard-retro.
