08/25/23 - Update - Very happy with this keyboard. I wear hearing aids and my old (and abused)keyboard made a tremendous racket. I quickly adapted to this specific layout and other than missingmy center keys on the 4000, this has been a very good purchase with a convention layout. No weirdkeys in strange places.With a great deal of regret, I was forced to replace my 9 year old MS 4000 Natural Keyboard, which Microsoft discontinued years ago. They are still available, but sellers are asking $800 !!! for NEW models. I simply won't play that game. Used ones are always a gamble My own keyboard had millions upon millions of keystrokes and was falling to pieces. It also was deafening when I was doing high speed typing. With a hearing aid, the racket was insufferable.So, after giving up my pursuit of a new MS 4000, I stumbled across this very inexpensive similar style keyboard. This model has a split space bar which takes a minute to get used to, but after a couple days I'm back up to my usual speeds. The key touch is very soft which my cracked finger tips love.Even under a full on ten fingers of doom assault, this keyboard remains amazingly quiet. Perfect if you share a room with others. The cord connector is standard 5' long USB. I did not find a wireless model which I would have preferred.The palm wrest pad feels very high quality and hopefully will hold up for a very long time. The overall footprint is about the same length as the MS 4000, but the width is about 20% smaller, which on my TIny Desk (tm) frees up some much needed room. The layout itself is bog standard, so you have a middle group that handles the nav keys and a right group that is a standard keypad. No funky, weird layouts.Standard complement of 12 F keys that do double duty. Status lights are very small and discrete, and nicely located at the top of the keyboard. They are not obnoxiously bright like other keyboards, and the placement makes it a snap to see key status. The keys are a comfortable size with a tactile feel. Travel length is good.All in all, I am really liking this keyboard. So much so that I may want to buy another one for when I inevitably kill this new one. You can also raise the back of the keyboard, which makes it easier to type on.As a person with a very big rib cage, I simply cannot use any other style of keyboard. I look forward to years of use with this pup. Definitely a five star rating. Does anyone want to buy my small wireless MS Keyboard + Mouse????

I work from home 4 days a week and go into the office 1 day a week. I had a keyboard from work to use while in office, but hated it. Even though it is "ergonomic", it is very cramped and feels more like trying to type on my laptop keyboard. I am a touch typist, and have used ergo keyboards for decades now (MS Naturals was a fave). This X9 keyboard reminds me of a lot of what I loved from my old MS Naturals. The touch is soft and very comfortable and the key layout works perfectly for my touch typing. Definitely give it 5 stars. It really is a great keyboard at a very good price.

You know why we're in the market of a new ergonomic keyboard. That's because your Microsoft Natural 4000 has died after all these years. And the replacement has died as well. And then those used keyboards from Ebay have died as well - those which were working, I mean, because most of them conveniently come already broken, so you don't have to break them yourself. And now you're looking at the five dead keyboards, which are impossible to assemble into a new, or at least into a working one. I know how the frustration feels.So this keyboard is 90% similar to what I was looking for. The keys shape and size closely resemble the Microsoft keyboard. And the keys are in the proper place! The keystrokes are a bit different but after only a few minutes you'd get used to it, and the blind typing speed comes almost to where it was.The wrist pad is good. It's soft. It's not too soft. The shape is very familiar, and that's excellent.What is not so good (maybe it's possible to get used to it later):* Absense of the media keys. This issue would be solved with a separate device. Here's the magic word: "Macropad". The sound knob is there, pressing the sound knob would mute/unmute, the three buttons out of how many you have would be play/pause, previous track, next track.* There are some hotkeys disguised as media keys - at least the calculator button is fine, but the buttons for brighness are pretty much useless. And I'm not used to Fn button, being spoiled by the Natural 4000 keyboard.* The backwards angle at this keyboard is absent. That's the bummer. I bet it's possible to 3d-print some kind of support, but for now the temporary solution is two whatever little boxes supporting the keyboard to make it lean away from me. It's 0.8", give or take, and that makes it feel like it should be. Even though there is nothing more permanent than temporary.* The space button, being two separate buttons, feels a bit awkward. It's just not the same feeling that it should be. Minor issue, most likely it's possible to get used to it.Overall, the keyboard feels solid, the keys are positioned nicely, it feels good (well, good enough, and better than the most, almost all, other keyboards). I'm keeping it for now and trying a few others. But it seems like this one takes the place of being my next favorite.Just remember to keep an eye on the manufacturer and pile up the replacement keyboards if this one gets out of production. Fool me once, Microsoft, shame on you.

This is almost better than the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard that I have used for the last decade or more. You won't be disappointed. Don't even bother buying the newer Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. It is absolutely awful and will cause you much distress.

If you are coming from the MS ergonomics keyboard, this one feels very much like it. The first thing I noticed was that the very left column of keys are slightly shorter than the MS keyboard. For that reason, your left palm kind of feels like being on the edge; may just take a bit getting used to. The gaps between the keys are bigger and it may be a challenge to keep it clean. Space keys feel OK for me. Build quality feels solid. Pretty quiet and good feedback.

I love this keyboard! It is a great alternative to the MS 4000 ergonomic keyboard which is no longer available. This X9 keyboard has the 'kick stand' at the back to tilt it upwards like the MS 4000 does. Too many other ergo keyboards do not have that feature.I was so happy with this keyboard that I bought a second one for my home office.
