    As I just killed my laptop's keyboard, I would like to ask opinions for keyboard, budget is around MYR 200 or $50.
    I am thinking of microsoft natural ergonomic 4000:)
    any opinions are welcomed.

    p/s. really grateful to windows' on-screen keyboard:lol:

    peaz and me using the same keyboard! Not bad for the price. RM180 at All IT, the cheapest on Lowyat that I could find.

    Make sure that your hands are okay with the ergonomic design of the keyboard. I'm still getting used to the Microsoft Comfort 2000. ;)

    I got used to the ergonomics very easily, very comfortable. But getting used to the layout is a different matter though... :lol:

    well, at first I was thinking of comfort curve 2000, because cheaper.
    but, after a thought, I like to type where my hand are at the same level with my keyboard as previously I typing on a notebook.
    from there, I end up with natural ergonomic 4000, as per now, looking for some opinion :D

    as for the layout, I'm sure I'll get used to it after some "training" with my assignment ;)

    i have a wireless comfort keyboard 4000
    but when i went to one of the cyber cafe, i fell in love with the wired comfort keyboard 2000.. unlike 4000, when you type ,it almost silent.. plus it only > rm60 in the market now.. and wireless can be quite a problem

    Its quiet when it's new, as usual. :D The rubber hardens overtime.

    Slightly, but my room is extremely hot, any keyboard will harden extremely fast.

    Honestly, i still like my RM 30 Logitech Media Keyboard which i got it AllIT although it's not wireless. One at home and one in office.

    Oh ya... currently Low Yat got a promotion for a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse set for RM99. Is that recommended? I'm not sure what the model is....

    Edit: Just found it from Microsoft website. It's a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700

    as for now, just looking for keyboard, as I already have a wireless mouse.
    between comfort curve 2000, and natural ergonomic 4000.

    any opinion for a portable keyboard?

    how about something like this: Air Touch Flexible Keyboard
    you just fold it up, it doesn't take up a lot of space and you don't have to worry about breaking it....

    but it probably isn't the best thing to write on, ZX spectrum feeling :)

    oh, that one. I tried my friends one, very hard to type on :faint:

    as for now, I decided to repair my notebook keyboard.
    thanks to all who have responded :thumb:

    The natural 4000 is a great keyboard :) and yes. mine's kinda noisy now. waiting for it to fail somewhere before i go exchange it again... for free LOL!

    Too bad the Natural wireless combo (the one with the wireless version of the natural 4000 and the weird looking natural 6000 mouse) is just only available. I'd get that in an instant if that one was available back then.

    is the spacebar needed to be pressed on the center? As I read some review, it is difficult to pressed if pressed from the side. hitting the left side is my habit :mrgreen:
