Mechanical Natural Keyboard - Does it exist?

Hilux SSRG · Jul 26, 2012, 08:03 PM

I've been rocking a Microsoft Natural MultiMedia Keyboard [http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16823109129]for the longest time, but I think replacement is nearing. I have read reviews and comments on the virtues of mechanical keyboards but don't know if any exist with a natural or natural and split keyboard design?

Has anyone got any recommendations? Thanks.

No. That thing is tiny and hideous. Lacks a proper numberpad too. Thanks for the suggestion but would you buy that ever?

BumbleBee · Jul 26, 2012, 09:28 PM

you can buy a mechanical number pad.

yes I would because all the other mechanical split keyboards are used, old school beige or white and command a higher price. as far as I know the Truly Ergonomic is the only one on the market.

I use this MS keyboard. It suits me perfectly and when/if it dies I will get another.

Honestly, its all about the filco majestouch-2 series. Best keyboard I've ever owned. Naturals are nice though, but finding a GOOD mechanical one is going to be hard.

That looks to be an updated version of mine. Just wish MS would make a mechanical key one
