    Ah, I use my left thumb to hit the spacebar when typing. Arse! Why didn't they make it configurable as to which side can be backspace?

    Still, I'm not buying a mushy crap keyboard anytime soon, so it's not a big worry.

    Probably could in software, but yes, this is with the natural keyboards, I doubt it will suit me.

    I've had 'natural' keyboards before but I think the conventional Microsoft Wireless 3000 I've got now is probably the most comfortable I've used.

    First thought that sprang to my mind: "it looks like it's been in a fire".

    Something supposedly this premium from Microsoft - they should have just bought in cherry mechanical keys and been done with it...

    Get cherry switches in there and maybe I'll actually look at an 'ergonomic' keyboard.

    Re: News - Microsoft introduces the Sculpt Comfort Keyboard

    Are there any 'Ergonomic' keyboards that have Cherry black or brown switches AND are backlit? If not, there may be a (small) gap in the market... ;-)

    I loved my old original MS Natural but the series seemed to get progressively worse - I have a 4000 model somewhere that I never really used (it had pointless features like a 'zoom' switch and buttons for 'Favorites' and 'Back' & 'Forward'.

    only use their right hand for space? Didnt check with any WASD gamers then?

    If it aint broke, dont fix it.

    To be honest that looks pants and as mentioned no mechanical switch keys is a big let down. I love my clicky blues

    It shouldn't affect your ability to select the left part of space for 'jump' in any game settings (which is what I assume you are referring to)?
