I just got my M$ Natural Ergo 4000 keyboard.
Hmm...
I'm not immediately in love with it.
I think that the pleather wrist rests are cheesy.
I like all the programmable buttons. The key layout is a little different than the last M$ Ergo keyboard I used so it'll take me some time to find the 'Home', 'Delete', and 'End' keys without looking.
The keys don't have as much movement as my last M$ keyboard either. I mean that they don't move down as much. I find that after typing for a hour now the joints in my fingers feel a little compressed because I've been hitting the bottom of the keyboard pretty consistently. It feels like I've been poking an elevator button repeatedly for the last hour. Also, I have to say that the shorter key height doesn't feel as satisfactory when I type. I don't get that manly "yeah, I'm poking you, what you gonna do about it?" feeling.
I guess they discovered that it was better/more ergonomic to require less finger movement.
I don't mean to sound too negative. It is a good keyboard overall. Maybe not as good as my last one. The zoom feature rocks, btw.
