Difficulty in using my new "curved" 1cent keyboard >

It only cost me a penny, but Ive lost productivity due to the stupid curved keyboard:

From the MS site:
Comfort Curve Design
Designed by ergonomic experts for enhanced comfort and style, the Comfort Curve Design keyboard helps your hands rest in a more natural position.

I dont mind the "split keyboards" but this curved type is affecting my touch typing. Im going back to my old regular keyboard - or as the new keyboard types it the "refulas" keyboard, since I have to go back fix most of the words.

And the dlete buttin is much too small/

Yeah Im giohgn to fionce it awahg sinoce I not small most worklds wrong duoe to theo curbge.

Its like putting an "ergonomic" triangular steering wheel on a sports car. I just cant get used to it without really slowing dowm/

Its a very nice looking keyboard but that curve most takle sokmetimoetoget used to.

And again the delete button is too small so its difficult to even go back to retype the words.


New: Sorry about that Im not selling or giving the keyboard away. Its going to my neighbor or his kid or someone at work for free after I tell them its too hard to use. I only bought one, or I would be happy to give the other one away to someone on this forum.

relax, like ergonomic keyboards before this, it just takes some getting used to. ;)

I got this PM deal too. At first, I didn't like the keyboard either, but I quickly got used to it. I actually find that my typing speed has increased thanks to the curved shape. The leather-like armrest makes it very comfortable to use. I'm liking the mouse's shape too. Overall, this was the best free thing I've ever received. Thanks Staples!

remember u paid 1 cent :lol:
Haha ... what you pay for is what you get! :)

Once you got used to it, you're typing speed would actually increase.
It's been proven that curved and ergonomic keyboards result in increased typing speed.

[D-Sisive]

heh, if you typed properly, you wouldnt have a problem

keyboard peckers are hilarious :)

maybe you should return it to the store. or sell it on eBay.

I was just wondering since the keyboard was sold for 1 cent or 5 cents, who loses money? the manufacturer of the keyboard or Staples?
