Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 Function Keys

I've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard (4000?) for years. I've found that I need to see the keys more often and thought the old keyboard quite large. While looking for low-vision keyboards I found this illuminated model. I thought I'd never adapt to or like a flat keyboard like this but I was so wrong. This is the best keyboard I've ever used. Easy strike, silent, and I can see the keys without bright room lighting -- even without my glasses! A full numbers layout, easy extra function keys, great configuration, easy setup, and a sophisticated appearance. Love it. Highly recommended for everyone at all skill levels.

Bought this to use with a Mac--first time user switching from PC. Plug and play with the new Monterey iOS. This keyboard is solid and stays where you place it, clicky keys are not too noisy, nice spacing between keys, nice contours of key caps, nice having the sound volume control wheel, and the display bright and dimming function keys. This keyboard has two USB A hubs built into the back side. For now, I've plugged in a new Logitech corded M500s mouse also from BH Photo. So, I do not have to recharge keyboard or mouse--both are corded and work fine for me. Great typing experience on this keyboard and boosts productivity. I do have an Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse. Might use them on occasion, but Das Keyboard for Mac will be my first choice. So glad they make this product. There is also a third-party app that I can load, recommended by Das Keyboard, to tweak other function keys. I am fine as is.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have used a microsoft surface keyboard for the past decade or so, but the keys are starting to wear off and since I got a new Lenovo IdeaPad I figured I'd try this keyboard combo too. I am pleasantly surprised by the premium quality, how quiet the keys are, and how quickly I was able to transition to it. So far, so good, and I'm pretty set in my ways.

I have been using both Microsoft and this mac keyboard. However while the keys on the surface keyboard are excellent. This keyboard is AMAZING! great for all day use strait out of the box. The magic here is in the keys them selves requiring very little to no force needed to trigger a key stroke. This keyboard is a pleasure to use and can see using this for years to come.

Exactly what I wanted from an ergonomic keyboard; compact, has the number keypad, and a good layout. Only downside is these are the squishy keys as opposed to the more tactile keys I like, but you can't have everything.

The ergonomic, lighted keyboard is everything I have been looking for. For years I bought other forms of lighted keyboards. One just had lights under the key section but the keys themselves didn't light up. One lit all the spaces between the keys but nothing ever lit up each letter on the keys. None of the other lighted keyboards were ergonomically shaped. This board gives you varying intensity of the lights, three colors of lights, lights on and off switch and is ergonomically configured. Somebody really put some thought into this keyboard.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like this keyboard. Very solid feel to the keys. Function keys are used to access the different colour modes.

I received this fine keyboard and mouse and find both superb, especially given the ridiculously great price from B&H. Who ever heard of any good computer product for this price? But the problem for Mac users is that there are no usable function keys for all the special Mac functions: EXPOSE and others. After receiving this two days ago, I began using it heavily in my work as a visual artist. The keyboard performs great and so does the mouse. But when I realized I had no special function keys, I immediately called Kensington to see if there were some work-around ways to get those special Mac features. There are not, and the Kensington rep specifically told me they have no keyboards that will provide such Mac features. Instead of trying to return this to B&H, I decided to keep the set because I need a new wired mouse anyway. And a back-up keyboard is always a good idea if you use your computer for work. By the way, I ought to mention that I wanted wired everything because my beloved wife has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, and all wireless devices producing RF are grim for her. I have a special plastic covering the front of my iMac that reduces RF emissions to an extremely low level. So now the whole set-up is safe for her to be near, even though she cannot USE the computer herself. I have now ordered another keyboard from B&H (MAFK318B) that specifically states it supports all Mac function keys. I gave a five-star rating because of the quality of the set. I don't want its reputation downgraded just because it did not work in every way on my computer.

Nice keyboard. It is heavy unlike other plastic keyboards. The keys are very responsive. I like that the shortcut keys on the function keys is active instead of having to do a series of actions to use these functions. I would recommend this to anyone. Nice light functions also.

Love touch-ID, love the full-sized function keys and numeric keypad, love the aesthetics, and love the sound and feel of the low-profile scissor-switch keys. To be honest, I don't understand the heavy mechanical keyboard trend at all, so if you're like me you'll love this keyboard.
