recommendations for wireless ergonomic keyboards

Question

i am looking for a good wireless ergonomic keyboard and wanted to get some feedback.

Answer 1

I have used the MS Wireless Optical Desktop Pro before. It's very comfortable, actually. Never had any trouble setting it up or keeping it connected, but IMHO none of these keyboards are kind to batteries. Get good Lithium rechargeables and use them, otherwise you'll take a beating on battery costs.

Answer 2

The Microsoft 6000 that I have has real problems with the transmitter. Google or go to Amazon and you'll see complaint after complaint about the transmitter losing connection. The 7000 bluetooth I have is fine.

Consider whether you want to do a proprietary system (Microsoft USB dongles probably won't work with Logitech mice) or if you want to try going to bluetooth. That or the new Logitech Unifying transmitter - you can choose several different mice/keyboards (though only Logitech.)

Answer 3

I've been using Logitech's Cordless Comfort for a few years now. I installed some good quality batteries when I first got it and I've replaced them less than once a year.

I also use Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards and I slightly prefer the Logitech one, but there's not a lot in it to be honest. Certainly the Logitech one is responsive enough that I can play online FPS games and not do any worse than if I had a corded keyboard ;)
