What do people say

I code a lot and I email a lot, and I can type on this thing for hours without any wrist or hand strain. The only real drawback is that it’s ruined other keyboards for me. When I use a standard straight keyboard, I’m now much more aware of just how awkward and uncomfortable it is. When I use any Apple keyboard, for example, my wrists hurt and my hands cramp after a few minutes.

I (and my wife) have been using this style keyboard for years including a custom, pull out drawer specific to this shape (that is no longer made). The space bar on one stopped working after more than 5 years of regular use. I’m glad this keyboard is still available. I thought Microsoft was going to drop it years ago, but perhaps there were enough complaints to confirm the demand. I’m a large fellow, and my hands don’t meet on a standard keyboard without significantly distorting my wrists, so this Natural keyboard is the answer.
