Unfortunately, it seems to draw a lot of electricity & the IM folks think that is why I keep having 'Blue Screens of Death' and why the breaker in the PC keeps going out. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Also, I would like to know what the touchpad on the Adesso's feels like. I tried a MicroSoft ergonomic keyboard, but the bumpiness on the touchpad bothered me. It makes a big diff if the touchpad is smooth. Thanks. I’ve had an Onmikey Evolution by Northgate at work now for a few years & really like it.

I have two ergonomic keyboards, the second of which I bought because I thought the first one was wearing out. Come to find out the problem wasn't with the keyboards but rather with software. My old Adesso PCK-308B has fewer events of keys stopping working than the newest PCK-308W. Their Support Dept. gave me the run-around too and I haven't been able to resolve the problem. Any recommendations for a light-touch ergonomic? Microsoft keys are too stiff for me. Thanks. I’ve had similar problems with support from Adesso.

Back to the drawing board. I think I might trythe microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard, I'm just not really sure it will work with my mac Thank you Susan, I’m looking for a very durable keyboard and I have the habit of hitting the space bar a bit harder than the average user when I’m typing real fast.

The right spacebar on the Adesso broke after only a couple of months of use. Obviously, I liked it, so I bought another one with similar results . . . a spring right space bar. I contacted Adesso and got the run around and a lot of foot dragging. I ended up having to send both keyboards to them as proof of what happened and at a cost of around $35 including packaging which was not reimbursed. It is my opinion that this keyboard uses substandard switches, but I never got any feedback regarding the keyboards I sent them.

I have arthritis and tendonitis, and since using this, I haven't need a single cortisone injection. I've been through three of them, and I only wish that they would make them more durable. I'd gladly pay twice as much for one that would last a lot longer, but that's the disposable world in which we live. It would also be nice if they had a higher end (say $300) one that had an adjustable split.

Last year I got rid of my old keyboard and standard Microsoft mouse and purchased an Adesso keyboard with a Glidepoint touchpad built in to the center. Besides having a more natural key layout, the touchpad in the center means I am not constantly shifting my hands around to use the mouse. The downside is this should take you several days to get used to, and you may even feel a productivity drop for weeks.     [...] [...] The second thing is to make sure you have a good ergonomic keyboard.

Hi ya'll this is Peggy Ross, I wish to share with you my experience with one of the most ergonomic chairs i have come across in my entire life, you might wonder what makes me qualify for such a claim so here I am to tell you a little bit about my Sciatica problem and how these ergonomic chairs at http://www.ergo4me.com website helped me ease my pain. I have lived with Sciatica since 1980 I slipped and fell and ended up rupturing my L5/S1 disc (lumbar area). At the time, I went through physical therapy and the first of five surgeries. I could still work, but it was so very painful. In 1995 I woke up, and realized that I had lost 5 years of my life due to the continued use of the pain pills and was still in great pain. Luckily I ran into this company by the name ergoGENESIS based in Navasota, TEXAS and I was introduced to the wonderful concept of Ergonomic Chairs. Ever since I bought one of their chairs my lifes completely changed and now I can proudly say that I am able to work full-time from home while sitting on this amazingly comfortable ergonomic chair and still put in 10-11 hours per day and trust me prior to this that concept was like an untouchable dream for me LOL !! work that many hours with my Sciatica problem. So I wish to share this experience with ya'll and recommend to you these chairs, and ease your pain cause I know what it feels like since i have lived through it for quiet a few year. visit this URL http://www.ergo4me.com to learn more !! and help yourself..
