Also, anyone suffering from wrist pain, mine went away after I bought one of these for use in the office: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000/B2M-00012 http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/natural-ergonomic-... I don't have one at home (they aren't that good for games so I haven't bothered to change my home setup) but just using it for the 8 hrs in the office a day was enough to get rid of the constant pain. Take a little getting used to , but really the way your hands sit on the keyboard make more sense than twisting them in to sit properly on a flat keyboard.

Wrist pain, the Dynaflex and powerWeb and wrist curl bar seem to have helped a lot of musicians, rock climbers etc http://www.guitarcenter.com/Finger-Exercisers-Practice---Performance-Aids,New-Gear.gc http://www.guitarcenter.com/Finger-Exercisers-Practice---Per... http://www.amazon.com/Weider-Wrist-and-Forearm-Developer/dp/B002DHIRX0/ http://www.amazon.com/Weider-Wrist-and-Forearm-Developer/dp/...

I have two of those keyboards, and I really like the layout. And it's one of the only keyboards that gives you a negative tilt angle. But I wish they were available with mechanical key switches. I have gone back to flat keyboards with cherry brown switches, because as good as the layout on the ergonomic board is, the key action is unbearable.

Rearranging the layout of the keys never helped me, but this did: http://specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&p=127 http://specialneedscomputers.ca/index.php?l=product_detail&#... Recommended if you need an alternative to the usual high-force keyboards.

I love my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. Microsoft discontinued the model for a while, replacing it with a smaller, crappy version that had half-sized function keys and non-standard cursor key layout. I actually bought some 4000 models on eBay to scrounge for replacement parts. <:) I'm glad Microsoft has apparently resurrected this model.
