My previous favorite was the Natural 4000 Ergonomic, and now the Sculpt Ergonomic. In both cases, I have had keys wear out* and have gone through quite a few, but like them enough to put up with the trouble. Of course, I could get the 4000 for $20; I tend to have to spend closer to $60 to get the Sculpt!
* The Natural 4000 space bar was the worst offender. On my Sculpt Ergonomic, I've lost an 'L' and 'F5'.
- avisser 7y agoI've had mixed results with the 4000. I have a Natural 4000 from 1997. Every key still works great. I also bought one in 2016. That one had sticky keys (space) that never worked themselves out. It was by far inferior.
- bt848 7y agoIn the easy-to-clean category MS Natural wins easily. I never used the 4000 but my Elite (still work after more than 20 years) can be washed in the dishwasher.
- neogodless 7y agoI washed one of my Natural in the dishwasher, and it still worked for a while, but as hard as I tried to make sure it dried afterward, the keys started to feel more "scratchy." It's possible this would all be in my head, but I feel like the water did do some level of damage.
- tech2 7y agoIt might be the heat you ran the wash at, what temp/setting was it?
- neogodless 7y agoAh sorry this was way too long ago for my memory!
