    Looks uncomfortable for me. Never liked these keyboards from MS with that 'ergonomic' layout plus I'm a leftie.

    I tried using ergonomic keyboards, but i still type fastest on a standard keyboard layout.

    They are only useful if you can touch type... which most people can't and so they don't put their hands in the right position.

    Also, wasd at an angle is annoying for gaming.

    My that mouse looks suspiciously similar to a MX1000.

    i use an ergo keyboard at work, i'm a leftie, and i can't touch type.

    it is so much more comfortaable than a regular keyboard.

    it does take a bit of getting used to though.

    For prolonged typing (which I sometimes do), these slanted, anti RSI Keyboards are pretty useful. However, with practice, you can learn to type with your hands at an angle with proper keyboards too. The MS keyboard and mouse both look very nice, although as a gamer I tend to distrust anything wireless.

    :approval:

    My remark about being left handed wasn't directed about using the keyboard but the egonomic mouse. For the keyboard it shouldn't make a difference.
