What you describe is just MS Natural 4000.
There's also MS Sculpt, with better keys: still rubberdomed, but less jiggly and way less clacky. The crowded home—pagedown column is actually alright once you get used to it, and I really don't use ‘delete’ and ‘insert’ much. However, the function-or-media switch is atrocious, pure disgrace as a design decision. I'm using ‘USB Overdrive’ to map ‘calculator’ to Fn instead, but it's still not the same. Might map the separate numpad, once I find batteries for it.
- ripley12 5y ago> the function-or-media switch is atrocious It's so bad. It's unfortunate because it's otherwise a pretty great keyboard; I'd love something similar with an Fn row.
- aasasd 5y agoI vaguely think actually that the switch could be DIY-replaced with a button, to obtain proper Fn (or the reverse). Though this would likely entail some soldering on the PCB, and I'm not good with soldering. Apparently craftier people even mod the controller out and a new one in, to run QMK: https://chrispaynter.medium.com/modding-the-microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-keyboard-to-run-qmk-41d3d1caa7e6 https://chrispaynter.medium.com/modding-the-microsoft-sculpt... (but still leave the switch untouched, for some reason).
