BELKIN COMPONENTS (F8E887) BELKIN ERGOBOARD 2 W/2 USB PORTS
This review is from : Belkin Ergoboard Pro Keyboard with 2 USB ports (F8E887)
Not perfect but decent . Overall this is a pretty good natural keyboard and the additional USB ports for other peripherals makes it a good bargain. I've used it so far with a Microsoft Optical (wired) Mouse but exceeded the USB hub's power capacity when I tried using a smartcard reader (Viking Intelliflash 6-in-1).Pros: * The keys aren't as clacky (noisy on the keystrokes) as other keyboards I've used, although they couldn't be called "quiet" either.* One nice touch is the addition of markings on those keys which become shortcut keys when used in conjunction with the CTRL key. The reference text indicates which letters can be used for Cut (Ctrl-X), Copy (Ctrl-C), Paste (Ctrl-V) and other shortcuts (Select All, Save, Find, Bold, Underline, Italics, Redo, Open, Print, New).Cons:* The unit as a whole feels big, almost TOO big. This is probably due to a) the wrist rest being completely integrated into the keyboard rather than being an flexible or hinged attachment and b) the extra girth on the underside to accomodate the USB ports. If you're looking for a keyboard with a lean profile this probably isn't your best choice.* The USB ports in the back aren't well seated into their sockets so they flex a bit *too* much when adding or removing a USB peripheral. That leads me to believe those ports may wear out rather quickly if peripherals are attached and detached on a regular basis.* There are no adjustable feet to raise or lower the angle of the unit, so you're pretty much stuck with the slant that came built into the keyboard.All in all, though, it works exactly as advertised and so far I've had no problems with its quality or functionality.

Belkin Ergoboard Pro Keyboard with 2 USB ports (F8E887) Reviews
You get what you pay for . Pretty cheap, the first one I got, the USB ports didn't work. The replacement for that one had functional USB ports, but the space bar doesn't always work.
I will likely spend a few extra dollars next time and get a higher quality keyboard.

Belkin Ergoboard Pro Keyboard with 2 USB ports (F8E887) Opinions
Better but not ideal . This keyboard is the best compromise that I've found, but it's not perfect.Pros: ALL keys are in the correct position (I had a Datadesk Smartboard, and the '=/+' key is on the left hand on that unit). Even the Insert/Delete/etc. keys are in the correct position.Cons: The spacebar is a little "clacky" as another reviewer said. The split could be angled a little more -- it's almost like they took a keyboard and pulled it apart in the middle. My unit is wobbly, so I put a penny under one of the feet.Overall it's a good value, but Belkin needs to do a little more work on the design.

Cons Review
This ASIN is for a SPANISH keyboard . I would not recommend ordering this product or from this vendor (PC Universe). I ordered this keyboard and it is for a Spanish keyboard. When I wrote to PC Universe to return it they said I should have checked this UPC on their website to see that it is in SPANISH before ordering and therefore it isn't their problem. I returned the keyboard to them for a refund (fingers crossed they will give me the full refund - since all their emails to me gave me the impression that I'll be lucky if I do) and I am out the shipping costs to me and for the return (to return it, it was $10 alone).
