What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Matias Ergo Pro Quiet PC Ergonomic Keyboard

I bought them mainly because of the quiet key feature so I can type without disturbing people nearby. These keyboards are great, and the split design is quite comfortable.
Each keypad is very comfortable and being able to adjust their position on the fly depending on how I'm sitting has already alleviated the constant neck strain.
Comfortable, tons of fancy functions. But, the quality of the keys is horrible.

What customers say about "Keys"

Matias Ergo Pro Quiet PC Ergonomic Keyboard

Great keyboard. Typing most of the day and it relieves the discomfort I felt from my wrists, shoulders, chest, and neck when using a ms natural keyboard.
I have a great deal of hand and wrist pain when I type all day long. A coworker told me about this new Matias low force keyboard that helped to eliminate their hand pain.
Proper F keys. I use these quite a bit as well, and while these are serviceable, I would have liked them to be full size.

What customers say about "Features"

Matias Ergo Pro Quiet PC Ergonomic Keyboard

Not only is the quality of the keyboard absolutely superb, but Matias customer service is fantastic.
The usb to micro usb connection that they provide with the keyboard is incorrectly angled.

Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for PC

It can come completely apart and separate into 2 sections. I currently have the sections over 2 inches apart from each other.
Keyboard tray has an adjustable and cushiony wristpad along with a base that can tilt a number of different ways to provide varying degrees of tilt.
The "quick keys" on the left side are far more annoying than useful, unfortunately, and just slow me down.
