I used the MS Natural 4000 since 2013 and turned down another keyboard until I located this one. I think the Incase is very similar. Missing a few of the feature keys from the 4000 but that's okay, didn't use them anyways. The wrist rest is very comfortable.

After 10 years, my puppy chewed the wire off my trusty Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. I was excited to get this replacement but disappointed as the keys are not as smooth and refined. The 'N' key sticks and takes effort/more pressure to press which results in an uncomfortable experience.

The keyboard itself is good for the price paid. BUT the keys are smaller than the one on the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 that I replaced. I do a lot of fat fingering on the new one when I type faster.

Great keyboard, please keep them available. However, since it is not recognized by Microsoft Keyboard Center, please allow overriding emoji and office keys. If you create uility to do that it will be perfect keyboard.
I tried to override them using AHK but it is buggy and painful, please provide a tool.

This is great. I do like the silent keys compared to my previous Microsoft version. Also, I love the attachment that lifts the bottom part of the keyboard from underneath. It makes it ergonomic. Love it!

I am so glad I found this keyboard again! I bought the one from Microsoft two years ago before they discontinued it. From what I can tell this is identical to the Micrsoft one. I love the layout and the keys are responsive. I'm glad they didn't change it.

My favorite keyboard of all time, the Microsoft LXM-00001, resurrected!!! So happy that you gave life back to this - such a joy to type on. Looks-wise it is exactly the same, and typing-wise it is extremely close. The incase version is also a joy to type on, and the keystrokes are slightly quieter than the Microsoft version which I have right next to it for comparison. ...

If you have been searching for a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard, this is your replacement. It is not identical to the MS 4000, but is very close and better than the others I have tried. It has the center split done properly for my muscle memory. Only time will tell if the keys hold up, but I had to get a new keyboard. Thank you Incase for coming to the rescue!

This keyboard is similar enough to my former Microsoft keyboards to meet the comfort and familiarity test. While I enjoy using this much more than what I had since my last Microsoft keyboard died, it still can improve to gain a fifth star. Backlighting would be a great advancement and would earn that fifth star. A slightly larger Enter key would be nice.

I was expecting the keyboard to be the exact same as the Microsoft one I purchased in 2018. It’s close, but not the exact same. I do like how it’s quieter than the original though bc the keys are flatter. My only complaint is there are no legs like the original Microsoft keyboard has so it can’t be tilted in the same way as my old one. It took me a few days to get used ...

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this keyboard, and I am SO GLAD you were able to take these on! It's the best ergonomic keyboard I've ever used, and I've been ergonomic since 1996. My wrists and elbows thank you!!

As several reviews have noted, this is not a reissue of my beloved model 4000, but is the successor to it. After spending 20 years using the 4000, I’m finding it a little difficult to adjust to the slight differences in the key layout. There’s also no feet to raise the back of the keyboard up which I prefer.
But after picking those nits, I do think this is the best repl...

This keyboard has lineage to the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. The 4000 is a legendary keyboard, I still use it at work, but it is not sold anymore so this is the next best thing that is available.
Pros:
- There is a break-in in terms of getting comfortable with the layout, but stick to it for 1-2 weeks and it will feel like typing on a Lexus.

Familiar design diminished by faint keycap printing. Lack of a backlit option is disappointing.

This is just a fine, comfortable keyboard. - I've already been through a couple of them - they really don't like having coffee spilled in them, so now I keep a hot spare ready just in case.

Great to have Incase take over Microsoft designed keyboards. I was finally able to retire my old ergonomic keyboard.
