- Microsoft Natural 4000
- Posted by Hat on January 12th, 2006
I was looking to get a new ergonomic keyboard; I currently have a
really old Natural Keyboard Pro. I love the ergonomic design, so I want
to get one of the same kind, and saw the Natural 4000 while reading a
mag. There are about 3 versions, but I narrowed it down to only 2. I
would a) like to know the difference between these two (
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...SubCategory=63
) and b) like to know if anyone has tried/has this keyboard, and what
they think of it.
I read one review that said it has a "Non adjustable step for lowering
and rise for ergo". I'm not sure if I know what he's talking about but
if you look at an image I believe it's the part under it that slants in
then back out again.

Never tried it, one of the above is an OEM and the other
"retail", meaning it comes with a driver CD. If you can
find Intellitype Pro on MS' site for download, you don't
need the driver CD.
it generally means feet that flip out, which are on most
keyboards... no idea if the ones on above keyboard are extra
special or not.
In general MS products are fair quality though past
disassembly of some has shown they had inferior switches to
MS... but that's not this model, they may be better or worse
in it.

If you take a look at this image:

I was wondering if that was the "step". Do you think that the bottom
part with the Microsoft logo on it is removable?

yes, that probably is but the palm rest isn't
I don't know for sure but it wouldn't seem to make any sense
to have it permanent.
