I am getting a new keyboard today

technobabble

I need a replacement for my Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro, which is a split keyboard. I can't wait for your review.

I can type faster on a split keyboard and type longer without my hands cramping up, so I am interested in what you think of the product. I not sold on the separate num pad.

This keyboard has some decent reviews

Can't do ergonomic ones. That's why I like the Wave by Logitech, aka K350. A curve but no divide.

@FiyaFly has one that doesn't have any letters or numbers on it.

The Monoprice key is really the best I've ever had. I can't do the ergonomic ones they just feel to weird.

Chalk me up as another person who can't do ergonomic. F[moderated]s with my touch typing speed.

I used the first ergonomic split keyboard Microsoft released years ago. I loved that thing.

I was reading some reviews on this keyboard and a couple people went from the wave to this keyboard and couldn't be happier. There is a learning curve, however.

Yeah, it's the break in the middle that screws me up. Can't do it.

@thanksajdotcom The keyboard is super and I think it will be convenient to use

The main thing is that people who switched to this keyboard said they no longer have wrist pain since its much more natural.

I don't have wrist pain now, so I'm good!

For me getting rid of wrist pain was getting a keyboard tray so that I am up above my keyboard by a bit (of course now my feet aren't on the floor).

I am the opposite. I hate keyboard trays because I am so tall so they always hit my knees.

Minion Queen

Yeah even with a keyboard tray and my chair up all the way... I still don't hit it. The joys of being only 5'4"

Yup, I always have to take keyboard trays off my desks...that's what happens when you're a giant...
