Customer Review: BEST ERGO KEYBOARD FOR THE MAC
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the BEST!!!
Well-made, well-designed. Solid-feel, with easy, light key action, and great adjustment features. Takes up little desk space, even less than the Apple keyboard because I can slide the top of my Wacom tablet under it a little (which I use that to relieve mouse strain in my overworked right hand). This model has all the keys I need without the numeric pad which I never ever used anyhow. I do miss the F13 key, but have selected the F1 key to take it's place. The keys are beveled as on the Apples. I've tried other ergo models by other makers which fell apart within a year and had heavy key action that did more damage than good. Highly recommended!
Customer Review: very light touch!

Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this keyboard for a few months.
The good: it feels good in the hands, I like that the angle is customizable, the keys feel great, though I'm not entirely sure I couldn't get the same level of comfort from the microsoft natural I used to have. One thing this has over the natural is this is made for a mac.
The bad: The control key, as someone else mentioned, is in an annoying location, and as an emacs and heavy shell user I'm constantly using the control key. furthermore, the 6 key is on the wrong side. Also, it's pricey.
That being said, I still like this keyboard well enough to give it a 4 since I was able to work around the control key issue and it is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for otherwise. Incidentally, I don't use the option key very often and it it happens to be exactly where my pinkey lands when looking for the control key. It was quite easy to remap the keys under the system preferences->keyboard & mouse -> modifier keys. I actually use this with my macbook pro and it's pretty nice that you can set profiles for different keyboards. I can leave the internal laptop keyboard mapped standard, and this external keyboard mapped with ctrl and option swapped. Still blows my mind that they would be so careless with their placement of the control key, but it's easily fixed in my case.
Customer Review: Very happy
Summary: 4 Stars
After my carpal tunnel became no longer ignorable, I made some major changes to my work space, one being the purchase of this keyboard. I love that I can split it in the center and raise either end. It works well with my Apple iBook and I was delighted to find I could use it with my HP Pavillion laptop as well.
Only 4 stars because if I bump it, the arch in the center can flatten somewhat despite being locked. I find I have to reposition it every once in a while.
Overall very pleased.
