• Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard 7000

With the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000, Microsoft has designed a wireless keyboard and mouse that work well on the Mac, both in an aesthetic sense (especially with the aluminum iMac) and in terms of practical hands-on experience.The Desktop 7000 uses the 2.4GHz spectrum for wireless connectivity, not Bluetooth, so that means you must attach a USB receiver to your Mac. One receiver works for both the keyboard and mouse.

Microsoft claims a 30-foot range; in my testing, I had no problems from about 30 feet in a meeting room, with no obstacles between the Desktop 7000 and my MacBook Pro.There were no Mac-specific instructions in the box, but Microsoft does include a Mac software CD containing the drivers you need to customize settings. Luckily, the hardware and software installation is straightforward.

The keyboardThe keyboard is an elegant black with a smoke-colored plastic frame and a slight curve to make it more ergonomically correct. I’m a self-taught typist (read: I don’t type the proper, traditional way), and I had to adjust to the curve by turning my hands in a slightly different angle than how I usually hold them over a straight keyboard. But adapting to the curve didn’t hinder my typing speed. I don’t find the curve any more comfortable than a straight keyboard layout, but I’ve been fortunate enough to not have any physical problems when using different keyboard shapes. The keys are easy to press and responsive enough to not disturb the flow of my typing. I prefer the feel of the 7000 keyboard over that of Apple’s aluminum keyboard because it feels more sturdy.Several helpful one-touch buttons rest atop the 7000 keyboard. The upper left has a Back button and Home button that by default are designed for your Web browser, a Mail button for launching an e-mail program, and a Live Call button that defaults to opening Windows Messenger (it can also be programmed to open iChat).

All four buttons can be reassigned using Microsoft’s IntelliType Pro software, which appears as a pane in System Preferences. I easily assigned each button to a program; for example, I assigned the Back button to ( ), and the Live Call button to.

The keyboard’s top row also has three touch-sensitive, programmable floating My Favorites keys. With my first test unit of the 7000 keyboard, I had problems with these keys. I didn’t find them sensitive to my touch, and I often had to push a Favorite key two or three times to activate the assigned action. I received a second 7000 keyboard, and the My Favorites keys were much more responsive, requiring only a single tap to active a button's action.You can easily customize the keyboard’s programmable keys via the IntelliPoint software.The 7000 keyboard also has dedicated multimedia keys, which include volume, mute, play/pause, rewind, fast-forward, and a Music button assigned to iTunes by default. If you’re used to using Apple’s aluminum keyboard, the 7000’s multimedia keys are a welcome feature.Other one-touch buttons include My Documents, My Photos, Calculator, and Gadgets (which is assigned to Dashboard by default). Like the other one-touch buttons, these buttons can be reassigned using Microsoft’s software.There’s also a row of F-keys, but like the Apple aluminum keyboard, their use as F-keys is secondary.

I have used the ergonomic keyboards for many years but this one is by far the best one that Microsift has made. It has many new features and is compatible with Windows 7. I purchased this because I bought a new computer that came with Windows 7. I have carpal tunnel syndrome but it just about disappears when I use this keyboard. If you are a new user to the ergonomic keyboard it takes a little bit of getting used to it but the rewards of using this keyboard far outweigh the problems of getting the hang of it. I have problems with the size of the keyboard, not much room left on my keyboard tray for the mouse.

But the keyboard is very comfortable and the aches I was experiencing in my hands, arms and shoulders are lessening. The wireless aspect is iffy. Terjemah kitab ihya ulumuddin jilid 3 pdf. It sometimes does not respond and I just have to wait a few seconds for it to get over it. The mouse takes some getting used to, I have many years of bad habits to break.

And it just seems so big for my tiny hands. They must make these things for big guys!
