I was in Fry's Electronics today shopping for a new printer cartridge and wanting to check their price on the Logitech MX610 wireless mouse. While in the aisle looking at the mouse I peek over at the keyboards and notice a new natural keyboard from Microsoft. The first thing I do is check the two primary key clusters that I use as a developer:  the page up/page down and the arrows. I had to pick the box up and look closer to make sure I was seeing it correctly. Yep, all looked good! No more huge delete keys like on the Natural Multimedia Keyboard and the arrows were in the standard upside down T (unlike the Natural Keyboard Elite).  I'm still using my Natural Keyboard Pro from 2000 but I'll be keeping my eye on these.  Some of the keys on my keyboard stick from time to time and are noisy so now that there is a viable alternative...

I've been a big fan of Jeff's article on the keyboards earlier this year and guess what, he's already acquired one of these bad boys.  His review is very positive.

ps. The mouse was on sale for $39 (from $59) so I'm now able to retire my original Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer.
