Ergonomic keyboard

The single biggest advantage of using ergonomic keyboards is to avoid Carpal Tunnel syndrome. This is a medical problem that plagues people who spend hours typing in uncomfortable positions, and its chances of occurring are severely minimized with the help of ergonomic keyboards. Ergonomic keyboards also enable the user to type faster and with more accuracy, while they also make the position of the hands and the arms less awkward than what they normally are.

The only disadvantages are that the best ergonomic keyboards are quite highly priced, and they also take up more space than regular keyboards. In spite of this, you can still find some ergonomic keyboards that are reasonably priced, and fall in the same range as your regular keyboards. With that being said, here are some best ergonomic keyboard reviews for you to decide which model will suit you best.

 

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Table of Contents

This is one of the first ergonomic keyboards that hit the market, and it is pretty pricey at $64. It also tends to take up a lot of space on the desk, so not many people are happy with that fact. But apart from that, the positioning it offers is very useful for the wrists. It reduces the stress on the wrists by a considerable margin, and this is what makes it the best ergonomic keyboard around.

Moreover, it also has 5 programmable favorite keys, dedicated front and back keys for surfing the web and tons of other function and shortcut keys that regular keyboards do not have. This connects to the computer with the help of a USB cable, and the software CD comes in the package as well. Also look at the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 and the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000, after consulting Microsoft ergonomic keyboard reviews.

Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Keyboard

 This is a model that cannot be ignored in any wireless ergonomic keyboard reviews from all over the web. It is relatively cheaper at $49, and you also get a nice ergonomic MX 1100 mouse in the package (the package costs $130). The size is also considerably smaller than the Microsoft keyboard, and the best part is that there is no wire that needs to be attached.

This increases the ease of use and the comfort of the device by leaps and bounds. The curved design gets more and more comfortable as you start using the package, and you can either use batteries in the devices, or you can charge it via a USB cable. The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and the Logitech Wireless Keyboard K350 are also worthy purchases. You may also like to read about ergonomic keyboards Vs traditional computer keyboards.

Kinesis Contoured Advantage Keyboard

Ergonomic keyboard reviews often throw up some familiar brand names like Microsoft and Logitech, but this specific model by Kinesis is also worth looking at. This is a very different looking keyboard, and the keys are bunched on both the sides of the device, leaving a lot of empty space in the middle. The disadvantages are that it takes a while to get used to the new layout, it is expensive (coming in at $299) and it has no 10 digit number pad.

If you can manage to adapt to the different layout then you will realize the comfort and relaxation derived from using this unconventional ergonomic keyboard. Some more unconventional ergonomic keyboards that you can make use of are the Belkin Nostromo n52te and the Wolfking Warrior Xxtreme Command Pad.
