Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

Strengths: Price!, Sleak, quiet, calculator shortcut key, spill resistant(probably)

Weakness: PS/2 adapter will not work, USB ONLY

I bought this keyboard after I saw one at work and liked it. I had a PS/2 adapter with my old keyboard, and it would not work with this one. The price was excellent, best around, and shipping was ultra-fast.

Go ahead, spill your soda!!

Strengths: Spill proof (have not tested this feature) ;)

Weakness: No wrist guard, USB only

I just got this keyboard from Office Depot. They're clearing them out for $10. Use the $5 PriceGrabber bonus rebate if still available!! I tested the display keyboard and it felt pretty comfortable. Having it on my desk now is going to take some adjustment since it's like typing on a laptop keyboard. My previous keyboard was slowing dying, so this replacement will do for now.

Very good keyboard

Strengths: Ergonomic design allows for more comfortable typing, especially when you usually are at the keyboard for a large part of the day.

Weakness: It does not include the gel bottom part where you could place your wrist.

This keyboard is well-designed for typing at the beginner to moderate level. It feels better than a normal keyboard and functions quitely. I like the extra buttons at the top as they allow you to manage sound effects using a simple button. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a quality keyboard.

Comfort Keyboard

Strengths: Very low typing noise. Nice layout with right amount of hot keys.

Weakness: Doesn't work on all PS/2 USB converters

Nice keyboard for the money. Light weight and low noise while typing. The keys are like those found on notebooks; you don't have to press very far. The keyboard doesn't work with two of the USB to PS/2 converters.

Excellent semi-ergonomic keyboard at a great price

Strengths: Very nice key feel; I don't own a laptop so I can't compare, but this keyboard feels like a keyboard 'should' feel like; This keyboard should be standard equipment for some manufacturer's PC package.

Weakness: There are no weaknesses that I've been aware of.

I own a MS4000 board and bought it for the ergonomic design, but I actually like this one better. The feel of the keys is just fantastic! It feels like I only have to 'think' a letter and it appears on the screen, it just feels the way it should feel. Like I said in the Strengths block, this keyboard should be OEM on somebody's PC. I bought this as a replacement for the Dell OEM and there is just...

Nice, but not outstanding

Strengths: Looks good Nice features for the price Low profile keys

Weakness: Can't angle up too much

I purchased this keybaord to replace an old Dell one. First thing that pops in your mind is, "Man this thing looks cool!" Aside from looks, the keyboard does have some nice features. The curved keybaord does help and does not take the "getting used to" time as some of the others in this class. The low profile keys are nice to look at and the feel is good as well. Plus much quieter than what I was...

Great, Quiet Keyboard

Strengths: Very quiet and user-friendly. There's not the multitude of buttons on the top of the keyboard, which cuts down on the sheer size of the thing.

Weakness: A little hard to get used to typing on it...but after a day or two - you will be fine.

I've typed on this keyboard for about a week now, and it's a definite improvement over the Dell keyboard I had in the past. It takes some getting used to, but once you get used to it, it becomes more comfortable and user-friendly than any keyboard I've had.

MS Comfort Curve 2000

Strengths: Great if space is a concern - very thin. It is probably the most portable keyboard I have ever used. Price is right for the keyboard. Keys are very quiet (except the space bar).

Weakness: The keyboard would be nearly perfect if the space bar was as quiet as the rest of the keys. The curve is great, but it is still not as ergonomic as the natural keyboards.

I have been using this keyboard for over a month and I am very impressed with the quality of the keyboard for the price. I was able to get it for $10 (office depot sale). The lack of a wrist rest is not a big deal because it is so thin. The inclusion of multimedia programable buttons on a budget keyboard is also impressive. I ended up exchanging the first one I bought because it was not...

Good Keyboard, very quiet and comfortable

Strengths: Very quiet keyboard, especially good for shared rooms. The look is also sleek. The multimedia button on top is also useful.

Weakness: The curve takes a bit of time getting use to.

I bought this keyboard to replace my current, standard Dell keyboard. With its sleek looks, multimedia keys and the curved design, it is really worth the price. And it is also spill resistant :)

MS Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

Strengths: Very slim with low height keys, allowing easy to press keys and comfort without use of wrist pad. Quiet keys good for lenghty write ups. Very comfortable as entitled with the curve.

Weakness: Would like to have usb ports attached that is included with my other microsoft intelligent keyboard, which allows easy connectivity for my microsoft mouse.

Overall good for its price and very easy on the wrist for long write-ups. Would recommend as is easy to use and much cheaper than standard generic brand keyboard. Has extra functions which is a plus: back/forward keys, play/+ and - for volume control, and easy keys for web/search/mail.
