Love it--easy push buttons & kind to wrists

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2003

Verified Purchase

Love the Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard. At the top, you push a button to start music playing, call up documents, mail, etc. There's even a volume regulator within a finger span reach. I've gotton lazy, and I love it! The only improvements could be a 2nd usb port that another MS model has, but I wouldn't give up my keyboard-I lay a gel wrist rest and just drop my hands down for stress-free typing! Try one in the store--you'll either love it or hate it--it seems to be a quick reaction. I agree with an earlier comment about the touch of typing on the Elite natural model--it's type touch is softer, while this MultiMedia model is crisp. If you like your gadgets, this one is for you!! PS the blue is true medium blue at the top--if you're color coordinating, this can be difficult.

blatant disrespect for previous MS natural keyboard users

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2003

First of all this keyboard is not bad in itself, the key action is alright. HOWEVER there are two things about this keyboard that have caused me to lose some productivity when using this keyboard: 1. MS decided to change the layout of the home/delete/end/pgup/pgdwn/insert key group AGAIN! 2. MS decided to delete the right windows key. I had used a windows natural keyboard before this and had just begun to get used to the alternative key-layout. Now they have changed it AGAIN!... If this would be your first MS natural keyboard it's probably alright for you but I feel MS is unreliable when it comes to adhering to one layout. MS does not seem to care that it's customers lose productivity when they have to use a keyboard with a different layout (especially when you're a touch typist like me)... My next KB is not going to be a MS as I don't trust them to keep the layout the same.

Ok for a novice, but bad for a power user. Poor quality?

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2004

This is an ok keyboard. The keys feel nice, the position of your hands feels more natural.
BUT! The way the function keys work really really sucks. The F Lock key may be good for novice users (which Micro$oft seems to be targeting nowadays) but really blows for anyone who has used a keyboard before. And even with the F Lock on, the function keys don't work in some applications.
Also, I don't like how the function keys are so close together, or how it's got the 'enhanced' function on the top so you can't read the fn key number. I also used to be able to tell which fn key I'm pressing by the grouping the key is in.
I got used to the 'enhanced' home/end/page up/page down/delete (notice no insert) relatively quickly though.
Overall, if you've never used a keyboard before, or don't know what a function key is, this keyboard is ok.
Oh yeah, after only 2 weeks, the keys don't feel as smooth as when I first got it. So maybe the overall quality is questionable.

Decent Natural keyboard ruined by removing one Windows key and goofy Home-keypad

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

What I like:
- Microsoft Natural-style ergonomic keyboard
- arrow keys have the standard layout (compared to the diamond layout of the Natural Elite)
- multimedia functions are a nice bonus
- well-built like previous incarnations of Microsoft's Natural keyboard line

What I don't like:
- only one Windows key! -- which makes it impossible to lock your workstation with a single one-handed keystroke (Windows+L) unless you have gargantuan hands
- goofy layout of the Home keypad (Insert/Home/Delete/End/PgUp/PgDown) and a couple other keys makes it difficult to touch-type if you're used to the more standard key positions

A great piece of equipment

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2003

I love this keyboard. One of the main reasons why I bought it it's because its split in the middle, allowing the user to be able to type and rest the elbows on the chair, like I do.
I think the added keys are great and time saving. These keys include my documents, my pictures, my music, mute, play, stop, vol +, -, fwd, rew, media (to open the media player), mail, web/home (to open browser), messenger, calculator, log off & sleep.
I'll say that I use most of these keys on a daily basis, the one I use the least is the log off key & the calculator, but I do appreciate they are there.
This keyboard also has an "f lock" key, where the "f" keys can do a double function depending on which program they are being used.
Most of the times I work with this key "on", locking my "f" keys and leaving them in the standard mode. I am very used to pressing F5 to refresh a web page, or F6 to type in the address bar, F3 to do a search, etc.
When the "f lock" is not activated, the "f" keys can use the purpose of undo, redo, new, open, close, reply, fwd, send, spell, save & print. Most of these commands can be used with outlook or word or pretty much any program that has any of these commands.
Now the bad things.
The keyboard is a bit tall. Putting on the stands can sometimes be a little too uncomfortable, as it is already elevated. Also if you decide to put on the keyboard stands, you may have trouble sliding it in the keyboard drawer in your desk. So I got used to not having them on. Another thing is that you have to know how to type correctly..."tip-toeing", or so I call it, with the usual typing finger on the keyboard will not get the user very far. You have to lay your hands on it and learn where the fingers go before you can take full advantage.
This is in no way a discouragement for a user who does not know how to type without looking at the keys, but it's kind of a warning.
Also, you have to turn on the "f lock" key every time you start windows, or you won't be able to use the "f" keys natural functions.
Do this: If you decide to buy it, first try it out. Do what I did. I went to my local store and tried typing in my name and a few other things on this keyboard while being on display just to see how it felt to work. Then I started typing random sentences. It felt natural. So I took it.
In overall, my personal experience is great. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

Love this keyboard

I have used a wireless version of this for 6 years, accidentally spilled juice on it, it dried out and started working again, I could not find a replacement anywhere so I went on Amazon, they wireless version was not available but does not matter this one is the exact same as my wireless version. I just hope they never stop making this design as transcribing would be very hard to relearn on a different keyboard.

only 84 dollars??? lol

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2007

84 dollars for this keyboard is the worst ripoff I have seen all year.
