Again I beg the question, what is MSFT smoking?

They are trying to keep some sort of ergonomics on their keyboard. I really wish Apple would release an ergonomic keyboard, like they did for ADB in the mid 90's.

Well, I admit I use a Microsoft keyboard (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043) that I love. That said, I just thought the keyboard above was the most awful thing I have ever seen in my life. At least mine doesn't look THAT bad...

lol your keyboard is no better than the one you linked to in the OP. I cant stand these "egro" KBs. They look ugly and take like all the desk 🙄

I was thinking about buying one for my mpb because the normal keyboard is killing my thumbs. I see you can reassign keys. Can I map the three bottom most right keys to ctrl, option, command like they are on a mac? Do they let you remap anything?

actually I much prefer Microsoft's keyboard to Apple's.

As someone who works with computers alot and has developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, an ergonomic keyboard is a necessity. I hate that Apple refuses to take care of its hurting customers! 🙁

haha thats funny

This is another reason why apple is better than windows. Look how much more simple each keyboard is described. Apple gives nice clean details while microsoft is pointing all over the place
