I was very skeptical about the whole "ergonomic" thing when I purchased this keyboard; I thought it was just marketing hype. It took a little to get used to but it really is more comfortable. I can type roughly 5wpm faster and my wrists feel much more comfortable. The only significant things I warn about are the different key configurations. Some people (mostly gamers) just can't live without the traditional "inverted-T" arrow key configuration. Also check out the augmented HOME END DEL etc block and the function key configuration that I'm still getting used to after six months. Again, it will take a little while to get used to, but after the initial breaking in period I'd bet 90% of people would love this keyboard. (...)
