i was wondering if any of you who own this have any further input on this keyboard? i really want to get a new keyboard for my mother as she's constantly coming back from work with soreness in her wrist and palms, which i can only assume comes from constant work on the computer. would this product be sufficient in possibly helping her work more comfortably?

The best keyboard for ergonomics is the MS Natural Keyboard. The new one (I think it's the 4000) even comes with a special attachment that allows you to angle it down. If your workspace allows for this configuration, this is the most ergonomic option.

I've used the curved keyboards before switching to natural and they offer very little benefit over conventional keyboards. The fact that the middle keys are not separated, but are instead stretched to make the curve just throws off the typing and sometimes makes you reach further for the keys, thus just increasing strain on your wrists.

The best keyboard is the one that fits her, ideally an adjustable keyboard. It is not just the keyboard that needs to be looked at. What about her workstation? The workstation setup is key. She needs to take frequent breaks and stretch and vary her work. If she is covered, she should file a workers compensation claim (WSIB) and ask the company to bring in a certified ergonomist. She needs to deal with this now before it turns into a permanent, disabling injury. A keyboard alone won't do it.

Note I suffer from severe repetitive strain injuries and I find the so-called "ergonomic" keyboards cause more problems for me. A simple definition of ergonomics is fitting the work and equipment to the worker. Since we are all different, how could a one size fits all solution be ergonomic.

It is very comfy and a good deal. The touch feedback sucks though, it doesn't feel like typing.

In the end, I am still using my thinkpad keyboard and Trackpoint

I think the touch feedback is great on this keyboard. I am actually using this keyboard at the moment and it's plugged into my laptop
