What was the model of the original MS Natural KB? Does anyone know if it is still available anywhere?

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

Hello there, I checked the back of my keyboard and it says Matias 4. So its the most recent keyboard. :-)

Yeah same here. I went to Microsoft's Surface website and found that they must have had this happen a few times. What I did (after I returned one then the second did not work either but worked better). Some quick steps: 1. Open the charm bar and select "Settings" charm. 2. Select change PC Settings. 3. Select Updated and Recovery. 4. Select Recovery. 5. Under "Refresh your PC..." select the "get started" button. 6. follow directions. This will fix up the machine so that recognizes the new keyboard. You will not lose any files. You will have to re-install all your MS updates. 7. If this doesn't work you will want to go nuclear and select the the recovery option of "Remove Everything and Reinstall Windows". I did not have to go nuclear. After this the thing worked great. One thing is that my fist keyboard was completely dead. The second one had a few keys working and it lit up the keys. So I think the first one would not have worked ever. you may want to evaluate that too. Good Luck!

After my experience with Logitech I hate to support them. BUT, i have never found a mouse to equal the Logitech Revolution mouse. I have five them on my home computers and I feel disabled when I have to use a computer with another mouse. (This is the same mouse that comes with the MX5500 keyboard.) I don't think it is still in production, but it is usually available on Ebay. They are on the expensive side if you get them new, but I have had good luck with reconditioned units. Good luck.

Looks like it's available again (5 machines left at this writing). You can always order it at KNKUSA.com, and actually it is an updated version that I wish I had known was coming (it has 3 "treads" instead of 2).

I'm typing this from the Microsoft Natural Elite plugged into a regular Macbook. It also works fine on other Macs I've used. The 'Windows' key becomes the Command (Apple) key.

the one i purchased did not work at all. i sent it back and got one from belkin which is fine. as for what you want to do, it should have no effect. either it will work with kb only, or mouse and kb, or it will not work at all. that means it is defective and should be replaced.

Dear buyer Thanks for your email. Please check the model, size, layout of your original keyboard. If the item is as the same as this one, then you can order this one. Wish we can do more bsiness with you in the further. Your understanding and support will be highly appreciated.

I was disappointed with the keyboard, it had several bad keys and poor touch. My suggestion would be to look for an older IBM model M keyboard on Ebay. The old Model M's will last forever. The one I am typing on now is over 15 years old. If your PC needs USB for the keyboard, there are adapters available from Cyberguys, www.cyberguys.com.

I was watching the Engadget Show yesterday and they mentioned this keyboard does not have a Right-Click button? Can anyone verify that? That would be a pretty big consideration for anyone purchasing this unit for their windows boxes.

They make a Windows version, which I'm using right now. It works fine on Windows that support Bluetooth 4.0. It's the Logitech K810. I've used both this one and the K810, and they are pretty much interchangeable as far as connectivity goes, however they are much different where keyboard layout goes. I've not found anything I can't do on this one that can be done on a full-sized keyboard, but because of the lower-profile keys, I can type significantly faster without the strain of a full-sized keyboard. I have little cartilege left in my hands, and have have had 2 joints repaired with titanium implants. This keyboard is a dream, K810 or K811. They are awesome.

The keyboard is available by itself here on Amazon, but not shipped by Amazon directly (Amazon Prime shows it as 1-2 months out). Today there are two sellers with it "In Stock" with fast shipping (antonline is one of them).

Not this model specifically. Das does make a windows version of this keyboard.

I do not know, but I wouldn't purchase the product again. The one my father uses is working flawlessly but the mouse on mine has already failed (within 4 months of light use) and the keyboard needs resetting every now and then to work. Buy at your own risk. FYI there is NO customer support or warranty.

Best answer I can give you is; you ever typed on a notebook/laptop? Myself, I find this KYBD "soft". I, like you consider myself hardcore typists having cut my teeth on a manual Royal some 55 years ago. At this moment typing your answer I am using an original IBM Mechanical [with springs] White and Red IBM Model M Clicky Keyboard but by no means utilizing legacy PC but a cutting edge custom built machine. If you are interested, here is the url &lt;&lt; www.clickkeyboards.com &gt;&gt; . I might add, this type KYBD is PS2 so if you are utilizing with a all USB system then you will need adaptor/convertor which are also available on the afore mentioned web site under Home &gt; ps2 keyboard to USB adapter converters &gt; ps2 to USB adapter converter for keyboards. I can honestly tell you this, I have not ever been more satisfied than with my IBM Model M whether gaming or working [coding, web design, AUTO CAD]. Good luck in your search.

There is a CD there but it'll contain very old driver/software. Goto http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/g19-keyboard-for-gaming and select "Downloads" from the top menu and you'll easily fing the latest version. It'll be around 60MB
