Microsoft has combined tried and true function with today's needs and desires. The Natural Elite will give all you need with none of the extras that most often are never used. Primarily designed with office work in mind, this 104-key board has an ergonomic curve that will help alleviate carpal tunnel and make typing a pleasure again. The attention to durability will make them last through even the most trying of days. This may be the last keyboard you will ever need.

Pros: I don't know how much has changed about this keyboard since I use the OLD E06401COMB model, but the lay out is exactly the same. I am buying another one! The one I bought was a badly abused display model, legs broken off and missing, but it is the best keyboard I have ever owned. All other parts of my machines have changed, but this keyboard has lived through three machines. I know I should take it apart and clean it more often, but in all these years I have only given it a deep cleaning twice and it still functions perfectly! I am NOT buying a replacement keyboard. I am buying another keyboard for a second computer. I would buy it at twice this price! Bless NewEgg that I don't have to!
Cons: Someone complained about the feel of the key action on this keyboard. It is a keyboard with a heavier touch required, so if you like a feather touch key action this one is not for you. Personally I love it, I am not the worlds best typist, not for accuracy or speed but with the deep stroke on these keys I can 'miss' hitting the key directly and still register the right character since the other key I hit at the same time did not sink far enough.
Other Thoughts: Others have complained about the layout of the arrow keys. I think it is a much more natural layout, it makes sense to my fingers, functioning more like a D pad to me. I type a lot and have bad wrists, also chronic tension in my neck and shoulders, other keyboards leave me almost in tears after using them for a long time, not this keyboard! I will never go back to any other type of keyboard, split key or nothing!

Pros: I have 6 of these on all the house computers they are comfortable to use with great action and quite. my 18 16 and 14 year old sons me and wife wont use any thing else but this keyboard nothing ells compares to this keyboard. our house has been using them for 10+ years and will continue to use them until they are no longer made. average life span if used every day is about 3 to 5 years IMO maybe longer if your not as rough as we are. we are all heavy gamers, they work well when you are trying to push the button through the keyboard to go faster, this does not seem to damage it at all lol
Cons: only available in white not cordless if that's a con
Other Thoughts: there is a pro version but newegg dose not stock it

Pros: It is what it is, and if you use the Elite, it is still the same old keyboard. Makes your hands happy after typing all day. I'm a DBA and would not think of doing my job without this.
Cons: None

Pros: it has improved my key boarding a bunch, the keys are where my fingers want to be. Rock solid and likes a heavy touch, like my IBM Selectric III but user friendly...expects it will last like it too.
Cons: Retro...the only white peripheral on my desk top n being retro it as no bells or whistles or short cuts other than progamming your f keys.
Other Thoughts: If it breaks I will buy another. Four stars cuz it is white only n an updated model with short cuts would be welcome.
