I'm a student and long time lover of ergonomic keyboards. I have a laptop that is horendous to type on and I finally got fed up and bought this keyboard. I'm absolutely in love with it! I love the keys that are on it, especially the calculator button, as I use the Windows calculator all the time. Installing the software was a breeze and as far as I can tell the software never pops up with anything annoying unless it needs to be updated, which it's only needed it once. I like the shape, though after so long of not using an ergonomic keyboard (my previous one didn't connect with a USB so I couldn't use it on my laptop) it did take a while. I'm a professional office worker and I do lots of typing and on top of that I'm also a student so I type lots of papers. This keyboard is perfect! It's also got media controls which is awesome and they work with even non-Microsoft apps like Winamp! With no extra programing! The software is also really easy to use. The keys are loud though and when I'm on the phone sometimes people complain about the noise, however I'm a very fast typist and I've had lots of people complain even with my standard laptop keyboard. Over all I love this product!

The space bar is the reason I am returning this. This space bar does not work very well unless you hit it at the very bottom directly in the center. It also does not have a quick repeat because it is so hard to hit. I have to always back space because when I hit spacebar twice after period, it only enters once. For such a large space bar key, it is odd it is just connected underneath by 1 spot at the middle bottom of the spacebar key (hence the reason the right and left are hard to push). Otherwise, I would give this board a 5 stars, but because of the spacebar I can only give it a 2. Think of how many spaces you type a day and is it worth it to keep going back to re-hit it at a diferent spot over and over. Otherwise a great board, and if the spacebar was was fixed I would buy 2 or 3 of them as backups.

          Have been using an ergonomic keyboard for 10 years & love them! Conventional ones are painful for my wrist. I highly recommend them for anyone that's on a keyboard for many hours a day. Takes a week to get used to, but try it, it really helps!

          Once you adjust to the feel of this keyboard, you will never use a "regular" one again! My only complaint is that the letters and numbers on the keys fade pretty quickly on the keys you use most often. Because of that I am on my third keyboard. But other than that, I love it!

            The Look and design features of this keyboard takes a little time to get used to with the slightly raised ergonomic design but once you do it is quite comfortable to use.at the same time this very design can make it a little difficult and time consuming to set up at the start.all in all I find it very capible of performing all of the functions for which I need it and it has replaced an older model keyboard that had ceased to function quite well.My final assesment is to give it 2 thumbs up as they say in the movie business.

                Yes, this keyboard will work just fine with Vista. According to the specifications it's a "plug and play" keyboard, meaning it requires no operating-system dependent software, and will work on Windows XP, as well as Vista, 7, or any other operating system.

              Does this keyboard require the installation of software in order to function as a keyboard? I assume the "hotkeys" wouldn't work, but would the keyboard itself work? Where I want to use the keyboard, I do not have administrative rights to install software.

                This keyboard is guaranteed plug and play (no software install) for Windows XP. Unfortunately it is not guaranteed on any other operating system. That being said it should work just fine as a plug and play with Windows Vista and 7.

                No, it does not require software.
                Turn off your PC. Change out the old keyboard, with the new. Turn on your PC again. It will take 15-30 seconds for your PC to recognize a new keyboard. Then you can start typing.
