Which makes me wonder why the heck I didn' t take the dang things back to Fry' s for a refund. I have since replaced one with an Apple keyboard (because I bought a Mac) and I still use the other on my Windows 7 desktop system because it' s my premium ergo setup (with a Herman-Miller Embody chair, yes, I' m that serious) and I don' t use that system so much for typing. After a couple of months, I got so tired of finding typos in my documents where I had just completely missed letters, I gave up.I bought two of these. If I plug the dongle into the back of my computer where it' s a) out of sight and b) not likely to get stepped on or kicked and broken off, I can' t use my keyboard or mouse! For crying out loud.As for the mushy keys, I hate, hate those but figured I could live with it for the comfort factor. I would have thought they would have learned to do RF by now, but apparently I was wrong. While the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 (69.95) delivers on its promise of an accurate, responsive, and comfortable navigation experience, you can get Logitech's superior MX Revolution. The Microsoft® Natural Wireless Laser Mouse was ergonomically designed to promote a more natural wrist posture and help relieve the pressure on your carpal tunnel area while resting your hand on your desk. This is by far the most comfortable keyboard I' ve ever owned.Why the dongle in the front? Because like the other wireless Microsoft wireless keyboard I owned years ago, it has a range of about 2 feet. If you are one of those to start with, and If you don' t mind plugging a wireless keyboard dongle into the front of your computer and you like mushy keys, well then go out and buy this keyboard (and mouse, which is a whole other issue).

Ergonomic keyboards, especially the angled, split layout kind, appeal only to a certain subset of users.
