    I've always been a fan of the Microsoft keyboards. Now it looks like they went more for looks than functionality. I'm currently using a Microsoft 6000[^] keyboard with a slight ergo curve to it. I love it, but they don't make it anymore. Anyone have any suggestions on their fave keyboard? I've only had experience with Logitech and Microsoft and I'm not seeing any of their current products that I like. I'm looking for something that's ergonomic, but not full on split keyboard ergonomic, and reasonably sized. Wireless and a reasonable cost are the only two other criteria.

    The 4000[^] is still available at some places. Check the Logitech ones, some are very good as well. If you are after the "crème de la crème", I'd go for Das Keyboard[^]

        What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

        I just even noticed you changed it in the title. Subtle.

              Bit too ergonomic, lol. I bet once you got used to that thing it would be great.

                I'm using a Maxdata Cherry RS 6000 M. The back says it's build for Win 95, but it still works on Win 7 :D It's about 20 years old and they don't make (them like) these anymore. Good luck finding a keyboard that lasts for 20 years of heavy use! :D Not even the letters on the keys have faded! :wtf: Unfortunately, they don't make computers with PS2 connectors anymore either, so I'll probably buy a new keyboard with my next computer :sigh:

                Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.

                Love the feel of the Cherry keyboards, but looking for something a little more ergonomic than their offerings. Btw, you can still get them. :) CHERRY: Innovation at Your Fingertips – Home[^]

                  I paid around $50 for the one that I have and now they want close to $200. Kinda shows that if you just made a good, normalish keyboard that the market is out there for it.

                      Takes some getting use to. I would have liked it if they had kept the control keys in their original locations. It could be worse. I have known people to use the dvorak layout ()[^].

                        It was me. I don't have any of those substitution extensions installed.
