Incase Ergonomic Keyboard – Designed by Microsoft – Refined Ergonomic Design, Built-in Shortcuts Keys, Layered Palm Rest for Elevated Wrist Support, Integrated Number Pad – Black

I am a long-time user of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard, ever since I first experienced wrist pain when typing, decades ago. It cleared up the pain quickly and I never had a problem after that. I went through a few generations of the product, going all the way back to the original white ones. When the wrist-rest on my black Microsoft Natural finally developed a hole in it, I found myself in the market for another one, only to discover that Incase had taken over manufacture of the product. I was nervous about this at first until I learned that it's actually the same patent, so I decided to order. I happen to have a black Microsoft version at my office still so now I go back and forth between old and new. For anyone who is used to the Microsoft, I recommend this version without hesitation. It has the same ergonomics and it is excellent quality. I will say the placement of the Delete and Backspace keys is different, which did require an adjustment that lasted a couple weeks for me, where I occasionally was hitting them both, wreaking some mild havoc. However, after adjustment it hasn't been a problem. At this point, I actually prefer the Incase because they really nailed the "clickiness" of the keys. It's smooth and pleasant to type on this keyboard, in terms of the tactile experience. The Microsoft one I have at work now feels clunky in comparison. The material out of which the wrist rest is made is comfortable, but it is a little more prone to marks and staining then the Microsoft version, for whatever reason. Wiping it down keeps it looking it nice enough though, so it is not a significant problem. Overall, I'm very satisfied. And I may replace the Microsoft keyboard at the officed with this one eventually as well.

Had one of these from Microsoft. Incase is making them with the same feel.

This keyboard really has a nice feel to it. The keys as very quiet and easy to use. My previous keyboard was similar (Microsoft ergonomic keyboard) but old and showing wear. It was time for a new one. This one's quality seems even better than my last one. Its corded so no issues with connectivity or battery replacement. My old keyboard didn't have the optional piece for raising the keyboard up but I tried it and like it. I started using it yesterday and feel like it will last at least as long as my last one.

This keyboard is a great copy of my old microsoft keyboard. My only complaint is that unlike the microsoft version there are no rear feet to flip down.

WOW. I bought two other keyboards prior, and neither had the classy, substantial feel of the keys. This is truly like the $350 Microsoft "official" keyboard in every way. (I'd still be buying the Microsoft product, but after two of them, the "paint" on the keys wore off FAR too soon). This unit has great directions and an optional "riser" to lift the front of the keyboard further if you wish. If you like the Microsoft keyboard, THIS is a GREAT REPLACEMENT...if the keys keep their "paint", it might be even better!
