I've been using ergonomic keyboards for some about 20 years. Started with a logitech (IIRC) and then was forced to move to the M$ 4000 as they were the only game left in the 'reasonable' market. The last one is a Kensington but the last 3 M$ and this Kensington - - - they're real cheap POS! Its gotten to where 24 months is a great lifetime for a keyboard. I'm a fairly quick touch typist but I'm also seriously multi-lingual so a good keyboard is quite important. Crap - - - the old manual typewriters were far easier on me than these new items!! To get something that is going to last a bit better - - - is the only option the quite pricey items where they use the mechanical switches? Suggestions - - - - TIA
