Product Description
To design a more comfortable keyboard, Microsoft conducted extensive ergonomic and usability research. The result is the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite.

The built-in palm rest provides a comfortable place for your hands when you're not typing.
Amazon.com Product Description
Microsoft's Natural Keyboard Elite features ergonomic contours that comfortably accommodate not only your fingers, but your whole hands. A built-in palm rest and adjustable keyboard legs help you work in comfort, and two connection options give you the ultimate flexibility: either a round PS/2 port or a rectangular USB port for plug-and-play convenience with the latest PCs. With its improved space-saving design, the new keyboard takes up less room on your desktop and fits easily into keyboard trays. To use the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite, you need one of the following operating systems: Microsoft MS-DOS 3.1 or later, Windows NT Workstation or Server 3.51 or later, Windows 3.1 or later, and an available PS/2 or USB port (USB requires Windows 98, 2000, Me, or XP).

 love this keyboard!!! November 14, 2008
I've had my new keyboard for several weeks now and I love it. I have used several different ergonomic keyboards both at home and work, and out of all the ones I have used (and I have used some very expensive ones), this one is still my favorite. I had one of these at work for several years, until one too many cups of coffee was spilled on it! The keys are 'light', you don't need a lot of pressure, and it's pain free for my wrists. I highly recommend this keyboard, both for its features and the price!
best keyboard i've ever used. November 12, 2008
This is the best keyboard I have ever used. I suffer from arthritis and am status post bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. This keyboard keeps your hands in a normal anatomical position and is very easy to get used to. Excellent product. I highly recommend it.
almost perfect October 26, 2008
The Microsoft Natural Elite is my favorite keyboard by far. I have been using one since 1999 (about 9 years now). Although I can probably type just as quickly on a straight keyboard, I am definitely more accurate on the Natural Elite. I have also used a Logitech "ergonomic" keyboard, but I didn't like the feel. One of the best things about this keyboard is the complete lack of extra buttons, switches, and clutter. It would be nice if they made one in a different color (mine is looking somewhat dingy after many years of use). Also, mine is a PS/2 model and I don't know if I still have the USB adapter that it originally came with. I'm not an expert on ergonomics so I can't help you there. I am a touch typist and I do quite a bit of writing (PhD student) and I can sit at my desk for extended periods of time with little difficulty.
Overall: great quality, great feel, great speed, great reliability, and no extra junk.
All too easy October 2, 2008
I ordered a Split keyboard from Amazon because I couldn't find it either in stock or reasonably priced in stores in my area. After 10 minutes on Amazon I had found the keyboard I wanted for a price I was happy with I ordered it without a hitch. It was waiting for me after work just a few days later and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Saved my hands and wrist August 30, 2008
I write for a living. My left hand and wrist were forever damaged by an inattentive truck driver who hit me on my bicycle. Trying to type for any length of time on a straight keyboard with my wrist turned outwards even a little bit all day had me in pain all the time. This keyboard allows my wrist to stay at a natural angle so I'm not in pain. This is truly a lifesaver! It does take a little getting used to, but that lasts only a short time. Just don't look at your hands while you type and it'll be faster.
