Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000

The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 sports a novel shape that most users find very comfortable to work with. For those who spend a lot of time working on a PC, it is important to set-up yourself properly and comfortably. This is the only way you will be productive, and the Ergonomic Desktop 7000 makes that a reality.

The Ergonomic Desktop 7000 is designed in such a way that the hands are positioned naturally. There is no twisting and turning at unnatural angles. Every part of the hand, from the wrist to the forearm, sits comfortably. The 14-degree Gable makes the keyboard very gentle on the wrist. There is also the 12-degree split natural act that mimics the curve of the fingertips. The other slope, the 7-degree reverse one, is also for the comfort of the wrist.
The Ergonomic Desktop 7000 works wireless for a distance of up to thirty feet. This is more than enough since few people sit that far from the screen anyway. There is a battery indicator; hence, users do not run the risk of being caught by surprise by dead batteries. A four star rating suits this keyboard well.
