Those with smaller hands will have to remove their hand(s) from home row position in order to access these functions. Users will naturally want to access the Back/Forward buttons using the thumbs but this requires an uncomfortable stretch even for those with large hands. Back/Forward Buttons: These features are incorporated into the integrated palmrest.Web, Search, Email, Favourite Programs, Calculator & Multi-Media Controls: The top of the keyboard includes one-touch keys to give quick access to common functions.It provides users with an intuitive control that lets them zoom in on content for greater ease of viewing or editing of emails, documents or web pages. Zoom Toggle: The Zoom Toggle control is centrally located in the space between the splayed portion of the keyboard.Removable Riser (attaches below the palm supports): Elevates the front edge of the keyboard to create a 7° "negative inclination".Fixed Palm Supports: The Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 incorporates a lightly padded but positively inclined palm support.Partially "Tented" Gull Wing Design: The keycaps transition from a 14° angle on the innermost column down to 0° of tent on the outermost column of keys.Preset Fixed "Splay": The keys are arranged with a limited preset degree of splay to help reduce ulnar deviation.However care needs to be taken to ensure that other issues are not created (see Usage Tips for more detail regarding this).
The "lift" accessory can address this even further by creating a "negative inclination" that actively directs the wrists towards a more neutral alignment. If the spacebar is pressed at one edge, the resistance is noticeably higher than when pressing it in the middle - this is not a warranty related issue.Ĭan Reduce Wrist Extension - The incorporated palm rest can aid users to reduce the risks of Wrist Extension by keeping the wrists from dropping down to the desk or keyboard tray surface. Please Note:Activation of the spacebar on the Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 may feel somewhat stiff or "sticky".

Use of this lifter may require further adjustments of seat or keyboard tray height because it adds another full inch of elevation to the middle of the keyboard and increases the risk of a "pinch point" being created on the underside of the wrists. The keyboard also includes a detachable palm lift that raises the front to create a 7° negative slope intended to encourage better wrist alignment. This elevation may require users to either raise their seats to accommodate the height of the keyboard or to use a keyboard tray to lower their keyboard into their lap. The minimum key height on this keyboard is 1" off the surface on which the keyboard is placed (2" on the keys in the middle of the keyboard).
A lightly padded 3" deep leatherette palm rest is permanently affixed to the keyboard. The control housed between the splayed keys is for Zoom (not vertical scroll as many may assume). The left and right key groups are also splayed slightly outward to encourage a nominally more neutral alignment of the wrists. The design orients keys at varying angles, from a maximum 14° tent in the middle to a traditional "flat" or 0° by the time the outer alpha keys are reached. The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is designed to assist users to achieve a more neutral and natural posture while doing data entry.
