don't bother [Posted on 2008-02-26]
Buying this keyboard was a mistake. Yes, the keypads are separated, but flat isn't great if your wrists really need ergonomic. More annoying is the poor quality--one of the keys doesn't have a spring, meaning you lose quite a few letters while typing.
Okay, but not great [Posted on 2008-05-29]
I've had other ergonomic keyboards before from Adesso and really enjoyed them. This keyboard however is flat, which is not at all what I wanted. The function key support is alright, but sometimes malfunctions. As has been noted previously, the 6 key is on the wrong side of the keyboard. The software interface for the keyboard is patchy at best and does not always work well. The USB ports on the keyboard work okay as long as you're not plugging in external storage devices; for some reason, the devices have a nasty habit of disappearing from the desktop. About all that can be said is buyer beware, this may not be exactly what you think.

I've been using this model for years. It's not only more comfortable but has a bunch of specialized function keys that are quite useful.
Adesso ergonomic keyboard [Posted on 2008-07-28]
I think this has made a difference in my hands, which were cramping up on the Mac-provided keyboard. I can't understand why Apple doesn't make an ergonomic keyboard, but at least we have Adesso. I never need the calculator part which makes it awfully wide, but oh well. I do like very much having the "home" and "end" keys, as I'm always adding stuff at the end of long "journal" entries.
Well, it's the ergonomic keyboard out there... [Posted on 2008-10-22]
There aren't a lot of ergonomic keyboard choices for the Mac, so it's fortunate that this is an acceptable keyboard. The hot keys are pretty much useless (pity they're not recognized and programmable in USB Overdrive!). However, the angle of the keyboard itself is pleasant enough. After a year, the spacebar is a little worse for wear but still works with some vigorous force; other keys are fine, and I'm a hard typer who usually wears out a few on any keyboard.
