I'm surprised the original[1] MS Natural Keyboard is not listed in the mass-market page. Maybe it's because it's not made anymore. I still have mine, it's years old, but it still works and I still love it, it seems to be the perfect angle for my hands.
Even though it is absolutely enormous.

- martin_a 6y agoI think that list is for "cool" split keyboards. The Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard seems to still being manufactured, see here: https://www.amazon.de/Microsoft-LXM-00006-Ergonomic-Keyboard/dp/B07XVRSLQS/ https://www.amazon.de/Microsoft-LXM-00006-Ergonomic-Keyboard...
- LeoPanthera 6y agoYeah but the current models are quite different from the original one. Mostly in size - they shrunk them down to more acceptable dimensions. The original is notable just for how enormous it is.
- martin_a 6y agoAh, just had a quick glance and thought they look similar in size.
- Mister_Snuggles 6y agoI couldn't touch-type until I got a Microsoft Natural Keyboard (the very first version listed). Eventually I got its successor, the Elite, then the 4000. Interestingly enough, the touch-typing skills that I didn't develop until getting the MS Natural Keyboard translate back just fine to regular keyboards.
- markmark 6y agoI bought a 4000 when I decided it was finally time to learn to touch type properly so that I'd be force to use the right hands for each half (I tended to use my dominant hand far too much). It worked great for that, and now I use a kinesis advantage, which I love.
