that one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace. Its tiny, tiny function keys didn't endear me, either

I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard... which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels

Its "klacking" aside, pour one out for https://duckduckgo.com/?q=microsoft+natural+elite+keyboard&t... which I loved, although I'll be straight that I love the Surface Ergonomic better because I think its keytravel is much, much nicer and no weirdo + shaped cursor keys, the inverted T like $diety intended

those classic MS ergonomic ones were great. for games, it gave you a ton of easy to hit hot keys with the split down the middle.

trackball + ergonomic keyboard probably makes me look like the equivalent of an old man in a white tee shirt wearing suspenders but it's a great combo
