Hi all,

After a nice keyboard, main priority is ergonimics and soft touch keys (if that makes any sense)

Main uses will not be for gaming but for typing.

Using a crappy Logitech K120 and my thumbs are in pain from the constant Shift+letter for capitals :p
 
Been using these since 2007 - own 3 of them. No good if your right handed however as to wide. Take a couple of weeks to get use to, but far better once you make the transition. I'm a software developer no issues with RSI or anything like that, do have a left handed mouse also. My 4000 keyboards have had literary thousands of hours use and all 3 including the originals from 2007 are working perfect.

These have a removable num pad making suitable for right handed. They do a version without mouse that's almost half the cost. Never used one but they appear similar to older version above.

Have to agree with Andy, since getting my first mechanical keyboard (Ducky Shine 3 with Cherry MX Blue switches) I've found my typing has become quicker and more accurate, also I'm not suffering from any wrist, finger or hand pains (RSI) like I did with other cheap boards, just my 2c worth :)
