Microsoft Natural Pro (B61-00002) Keyboard

Pros: Keys are in the correct (classic) position.
Cons: The depth of the keyboard requires more space.

Unlike other clones of this keyboard, it is faithful to the classic style keyboard in the sense that the PageUp/PageDown, Insrt/Delete, Home/End, and the arrow keys are where we've been used to (been using computer keyboard since the IBM 5150 days). So ...

Pros: ergonomic layout. good for you some shortcuts are actually usefull. volume button, mute, sleep, etc
Cons: layout takes time to get used to. some buttons key assignments are limited.

I have been trough many keyboards.
basic ones do what 90% needs.
some boards have too many functionalities which you only use once.

I think this keyboard has got a nice balance.
Usefull buttons and they can be customized.
...

Pros: Generally good ergonomic design
Cons: The '6' key is on the wrong side. Who taught these guys to type?

This would be an excellent keyboard, except for one major flaw. The '6' key is on the left side. Who taught these guys to type? Having been taught, like all others who took actual typing courses rather than using "hunt and peck", that you use your right...

Pros: Great features, keys arent too loud, nice feel.
Cons: Price, maybe? That's about it.

The Microsoft Keyboard Pro was a great investment for me. I was looking for a new keyboard (replacing my compaq internet keyboard), and I was just going to settle on a new internet keyboard. Well, once I found the Keyboard Pro, I knew I was onto...

Pros: Comfortable Layout, USB Ports, One Touch Hot Keys
Cons: Takes Some Getting Used to, High Profile

I have been using computers dating back to the first Atari in the late 1970's. I've seen quite a few designs come and go in that time period. This latest design by Microsoft is a rather unique one. As most people are already aware, the Natural...

Pros: Ergonomics, USB connection, integrated USB hub, hot buttons
Cons: Size (very large), Ergonomics not so good for someone with small hands

First, let me say, I love this keyboard. I have been a fan of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard layout since the original Natural Keyboard came out several years ago. When I upgraded my computer recently, I decided to upgrade the keyboard as well, mostly...

Pros: Ergonomic Design, 2 USB ports, Hot Keys
Cons: Ergonomic design changes layout somewhat

We recently had the opportunity to purchase several new keyboards at work. After a couple months of use, I can report wildly mixed reviews. Most users either love them and won’t give them up or they hate them and demand the old keyboard back. Very few...

Pros: wonderful hand/wrist support, easy to use, quiet
Cons: expensive, breaks easily

I received a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro as a Christmas present from a friend of mine who knew I'd been eyeing an ergonomic or 'split' keyboard for quite some time but was reluctant to replace something if it didn't need replacing.
A few months...

Pros: MacOS support, helps reduce fatigue, CTS, RSI, other computer related problems.
Cons: None so far...

If you've got one of those earlier iMacs/G3/G4's with the smaller keyboard and puck mouse you'll be glad to know that finally there's a keyboard worth buying that can allow you to put the original away - for good!

After a year of recurring...

Pros: Ergonomic build, 2 USB ports, lateral firmness of keys
Cons: Rather large and bulky

Fortunately, I am able to write this review while using my Natural Keyboard Pro, so I can continually observe it as I type. Unlike many microsoft products, the benefits FAR outweigh the costs.

Most obvious about this keyboard is the shape....

Pros: Added Hot Key row; USB; Full Size; CALCULATOR key!
Cons: Hot keys not color coded/fully reprogrammable; Media not manually changeable

The full sized natural keyboard is NOT DEAD!!!

History
A few years ago, Oct 1997, when buying a new system I saw the (then) new Microsoft Natural Keyboard. I am a programmer and spend all day at work, and all day at night on the...

Pros: Sturdy keyboard with extras like programmable hot keys and 2 USB ports.
Cons: Can't think of a single one.

Before my current position, I worked as a medical transcriptionist (MT) for 10 years. MTs are heavy keyboard users and typically spend 8+ hours daily transcribing medical dictation. As a result of my heavy keyboard use, I would go through a keyboard at...

Pros: 2 USB ports.Hot keys. Good feel to the keys.Cheap Carpal Tunnel prevention!
Cons: Smaller than the original. Doesn't feel as sturdy.

Ok. Who stole my aircraft carrier?
Several years ago Microsoft introduced a wonderful new keyboard. The Microsoft natural keyboard. According to the claims made at the time, not only would it make you type faster, and more comfortably, it was...

Pros: Hot Keys, Key placement, Sturdy, competitively priced.
Cons: None yet

Out of the number of keyboards we all have used at one time or another, this is one of the best. I spend on the average about 12 to 14 hours a day working on computers and have never used something that is more relaxing to use (that is I mean for typing)...

Pros: great ergonomic design
Cons: space bar feels a bit weird..maybe it's just me..

I remember buying the ORIGINAL microsoft natural keyboard. It was big...it was very big.. and it cost me $99 from walmart. I bought that in 1995 and I've grown to love it. I replaced it with the smaller, lighter and more responsive MS Natural Keyboard...
