I've been using a microsoft Ergonomic model 4000 v.1 for years. I love 
it. I recently looked around for a replacement ( turned out not to be 
the problem). I found that the newer Microsoft keyboards were garbage in 
comparison. The only one that came close was a Fellows for which I can 
not remember the model. I spend a lot of time on the keyboard and much 
prefer the slanted ergonomic layout. It takes some getting used to but 
once you d you will never want to go back to a standard layout. I don't 
understand the fascination with the Dvorák keyboard. While I will admit  
that it is more efficient than the qwerty lay out, this really will come 
into play if you can type faster than 150 cps or so. Who can? Most users 
are lucky to make 40 cps and if programming even slower.

For your consideration.
