  • F$%$^$^ Microsoft Natural Keyboard...

    Well let me chauk up another dead MS Natural Keyboard Elite. In the past 18 months I've winded up killing two of these POS keyboards.

    Thankfully that I kept the old Microsoft Natural keyboard that those other two where supposed to replace. This thing is about 6 years old and still kicking. Anyone else run into these problems with The MS Natural Keyboard Elite crapping out on them?

    Yes, I have repaired both of my co-worker's, it had a problem with the wires breaking where they go into the keyboard.

      Were you using one of the new USB Natrual Pro's? Cause I just got one and I'll be very upset if it breaks any time soon.

        I wish they would bring back the old Natural Keyboard. I really like mine. The one at work is an elite, which is much lighter and seemingly flimsier, with some keys annoyingly reduced in size. I don't like it nearly as much.

          Nope it was one of those OEM deals with a PS/2 connector and I think an optional USB converter. I was also looking at getting one of those USB MS Natural keyboards (they have the inverted T for the arrow keys like the orginal MS Natural Keyboard) that has the 14 additional keys for the internet (like I'll use them!) and 2 additional USB ports, so I can make my mouse plug into my keyboard like a MAC .

            I've still got one of the original MS Natural keyboards.

            I briefly owned a MS Natural Elite, but I took the POS back to the store the same day that I got it. They totally screwed the pooch on that one. The arrow keys are totally unacceptable. I don't know its ultimate fate, but it is somebody else's problem now.
