It also has a curved layout.

There is a zoom slider feature to help you view close up of webpages and customizable favourites keys.

What Have Users Been Saying (Summary from Amazon)

I just picked this up this afternoon and have been very pleased with it so far. I used it to replace a Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard. The wrist/palm rests feel very nice, and I like the fact that the keys are quiet.... I realize that split keyboards are interesting to a minority of the population (and everyone should use what works best for them) - but if you're one of the split keyboard people, I suggest giving this one a try. - Greg Broiles

I'm one of the many who have been typing for years; from college where I earned money as a typist, to secretarial work, and now as a software engineer and a part-time writer, so needless to say that my keyboard is basically a constant companion. From years of typing I've come to learn my likes and dislikes of keyboards. I was one of those who ordered the very first Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard as soon as it came out, and I fell in love with it. After seven years, my faithful keyboard finally gave up the ghost and so I was forced to purchase another. - Neilisa

In the past few days, I've had an inquiry into whether I'm still satisfied with the keyboard. The answer is a big, bold *YES*. As I was telling a colleague, this keyboard simply rocks. I can type hours on end without pain. My "seat of the pants" impression is that I also type _faster_ with this keyboard. As I pointed out above, I think that most people will have to go through a period of adjustment to really feel comfortable and fall in love with this keyboard, even if you're coming from a previous Microsoft Ergo series keyboard.- Charles Chen

Negative Reviews Summary

Some keys, particularly the space bar, required significantly more "push" than the others. - khyl

The spacebar is practically unusable. If you hold your hands in a normal position then you'll likely hit the bar near the edge. Due to a pitifully bad design the spacebar will bend incredibly far before suddenly snapping and finally registering the keypress. - Ray
