Fair warning , this keyboard be not for the point and peck typer . and the touch typer will be annoy for the first week or two until you get use to it . that be say , I have replace all of my keyboard with these . I actually carry one around in my laptop bag , and it do not exactly fit . why be I such a fanatic about it ? simply , I spend 8-14 hour a day on the computer . though I be very athletic , and have strong arm and hand from year of rock climbing , kayaking , and lift weight , all to fight off the typical computer jockey physique , at the end of a work day , my hand feel week and painful . I start use one of these as a last ditch effort to avoid go on disability . the simple fact be that I can type faster , longer , and far more comfortably on these then on any other keyboard I have ever use . no , it do not have a lot of bell and whistle . but I do not need they , or use they . if you can not do it with hot key , you do it wrong . this keyboard be not for casual user , if you want email button on you keyboard , move along , this be not the keyboard you be look for . if you type all day , and you hand , wrist , shoulder and neck be kill you , this be the keyboard for you . there be a learning curve , but trust I , if you be a touch typer , it be worth the effort to get use to they . you will never go back . I know I have not , and I have be use they for 15 year now . simply the best keyboard you will ever buy . now if m 's software be just as good we would really be get someplace .
