Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

I would recommend this keyboard to anybody, especially if u are still stuck with the standard keyboard that came with your computer. Its really comfortable to use, and it looks great. The calculator button on the number pad is great and the LED lights for 'Caps Lock', 'Num Lock' and 'Scroll Lock' look great. The media buttons are very useful, although it could do with 'next' and 'previous' track media buttons, but that is not such a big issue. Another bonus is that you adjust to this keyboard naturally, because of the positioning of the keys. Also, the keys are great because they are so soft to touch, and halfway between a standard keyboard (eg: one you get with a dell etc.) and a notebook keyboard.

Overall, a great keyboard, especially for the price.

A bit about me I spend all day at work on computer and when i get home i usually have a minimum of 3hrs per night on a MMORPG or a FPS and my hand is always positioned on WASD, I had been after a Zboard Merc but funds are limited at the moment had a few quid spare in my playtrade so thought i would give this keyboard a try.

Wow is all I can say the persitant pain in my left wrist is gone as my wrist is no longer kinked at a 45 degree angle I have noticed a upturn in my FPS kills and deaths due to being more comfortable and not getting a shooting pain just as im pulling the trigger, the key action is very nice for a non gaming keyboard add the calc key and a full set of multimedia keys that instantly worked with my 30000+ i tunes collection the very second i plugged it in. Earlier reviewer said no forward back but it does have them the internet back forward acts as them if a browser isnt open.

I have since ordered a second a spare for home, I rate the keyboard that highly, for anyone experiencing any left wrist pain due to prolonged use of a keyboard be it work or gaming and dont want to get a split key ergo or fork out for something like a Zboard merc or fang then the comfort curve keyboard is for you.

This is a very nice keyboard. I love the soft laptop-feel of the keys - not the flimsy kind, the good solid kind. Build quality is also great, noticeable from the cheaper keyboards. The curve takes some getting used to, but once you're used to it it's a dream to use. The multimedia keys on the top of the board also come in really handy when listening to music, especially the volume and play/pause buttons. At £11.99 it is also excellently priced, and you're paying for a brand name as well.

Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase. Far better than the bog-standard keyboard it replaced. Will be ordering another one for work as well. 10/10!

After reading the other reviews for this keyboard I was content with ordering this keyboard. I wasn't disapointed when it arrived. Plugged it in immediately and I was away. All the keys worked straight away and to say its a microsoft keyboard play has set a very reasonable price. I do spend alot of time on a certain MMORPG and due to my low budget I decided to purchase this. Even though it's not a gaming keyboard its works great for me! So thankyou microsoft for creating such a great keyboard!

So overall it's not bad for the price.

Here is a quick overview:

The keys are pretty low-profile and are alos quite quiet while typing. As the keys are laied out in a curve, some are stretched out to fill the space meaning that some keys end up being placed differently to compared to keyboard with "normal"layout. That results in some mis-spellings, though you could say that after a bit of time you can get used to it. However right now I'm not quite used to it yet - does not quite feel right, "just yet" hopefully.

The sound of the keys is almost satisfying, but there is just a hint of clacking in that "ruins" it a bit for me. One of the main niggles for me is that the left arrow key does not seem to press in as much as the right arrow key - a bit tighter and that can get a bit irritating for me while playing racing games that can be played without a wheel resonably.
The response of the keys is okay, but I think it might be a bit too soft - they almost feel loose comapred to say a laptop keybaord. The left Shift key is quite small compared to most other keybaords I have used, so that might be a problem for some people, as I htink it might be on the verge of being a problem for me. :p
So, was the £11.99 well spent? Hmmmmm.

That's as much as I can say right now I guess.

Had the keyboard for about 1.5 days now.
