Ergonomics take a bit to get use to, but now I can't type without it. The pad does seems as if it will wear out quickly, but it's worth the comfort. The external number pad was an unexpected bonus now that I can use it with my left hand. I did use of AutoHotKey to re-program some of the function keys vs. using the Fn switch.

I have the same keyboard but purchased directly from Microsoft. However, the keyboard from the eBay vendor is actually a French keyboard hence my title. Unless you are interested in learning different key locations on the board, speak French, or are French/Canadian steer clear. I do not recommend purchasing otherwise. I was being cheap and tried to purchase at a discount and not from Microsoft directly.

I've used Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards for over ten years, mainly the 4000, and liked it much more than a standard configuration. But the attached number pad always made me feel kind of a stretch when using the mouse, which I do all the time and only occasionally use the number pad. This solves that completely. The lower profile is great (not as big a hump) and the lower profile, more tactile, less noisy keys are silky smooth. The different key configuration does take a bit of getting used to, including the separate keypad which is very flat, but not a big issue, at least for me. For someone who uses the number pad a lot it could be a bigger concern. Overall I'm very glad to have it and expect to use it for the next decade.

I recently purchased the keyboard being sold on eBay and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. This is actually my third time buying this keyboard as I had previously bought it twice before while living in Ukraine. The second purchase was due to an unfortunate coffee spill by my wife, but that didn't deter me from buying it again)) Now living in America, I'm still enamored by this beautiful keyboard. It's especially suited for individuals who are proficient in touch-typing as it allows you to keep your eyes on the screen while typing. The keyboard is also comfortable to use, and the mouse is just as convenient. The design allows your hand to fit in its natural position, preventing hand fatigue during long periods of use. I discovered an unusual use for the digital module which I find quite helpful. I dictate by turning speech into text, and with the help of a microphone, I'm able to walk around the room while dictating. Instead of using words like "dot" and "comma", I can easily pick up the digital module and use it to add punctuation marks. This has made my writing process much more efficient. Overall, I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone who is looking for a high-quality keyboard that is both comfortable and efficient. It's truly a great investment for anyone who spends a lot of time typing. Read full review

Very comfortable and easy to use. Plugged in the Dongle and the keyboard, mouse, and separate number pad worked right away. The curved keyboard is soooo comfortable for my hands and wrists. I purchased a used set which is missing the cover to the battery compartment on the keyboard, which the sender noted in the description, but no problem. The sender did a thorough job of cleaning all the components. A manual or instruction guide on the keyboard functions would be very helpful but otherwise I am very pleased.
