Reviews of the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 - keyboard , mouse

    CNET Review

    April 24, 2008

    The Good: Easy-to-adjust keyboard height and angle; split keyboard design with raised center makes for comfortable typing; programmable quick-launch keys cut down on mousing; unique mouse design keeps wrist at a neutral angle.

    The Bad: Keys and scroll wheel offer a bit too much resistance for ultimate comfort; mouse is right-handed only; inconvenient thumb-button placement.

    The Bottom Line: Though it may not offer much relief from clinical repetitive stress injuries, the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 will satisfy users who want a slightly more comfortable keyboard and mouse than the one that came with their computer.

    Review Summary: While the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 isn't perfect, it is a good choice if you're looking for a wireless and ergonomic keyboard for regular desktop publishing tasks. It isn't suitable for other tasks such as gaming, but the key layout is ...
