Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for Business vs Retail
144216
Okay, having owned both the retail and the business versions, here's the difference: labeling and durability. Seriously, that's it. The retail version has a bunch of labels on the sides and bottom of keys (e.g "cut" is on the side of the X key), while the business version doesn't have it. The other difference is a slight durability difference; the business version has a slightly stronger build on its functional (control, alt, windows, etc.) keys because business people tend to do more macros. That's it. That being said, I'm on my third 4000 keyboard in six years, and the only reason why is because I wore out one and my wife accidentally spilled something on the second. These keyboards run great and anyone who says they're trash, I believe, is mistaken.

no its not, and its an ok keyboard, not as good as a Microsoft one but half the price. Has a nice light action.

It is not - you are not going to get a weighted keyboard at this price point. They will cost significantly more.

Call any of your local 2nd hand computer shops...or go to Wal-Mart,Future Shop,etc...good luck...shouldn't be hard to find (bring keyboard with for size).

I use blues, but I don't smash the keys, so the sound is more about clicking than banging. I work next to a guy pounds a rubber-dome board all day, and he's definitely louder. For the amount of typing I do in the office, blues are the best choice, but a lighter sound might be appropriate, depending on the background noise.I have used quieter cherry switches. They were quieter, but not much.

I used a few sets of keyboard and mouse combo (e9060), at work and at home. I like the light but sure key strokes. I think e9070 is the model with keyboard only; you can also check in Amazon page.

I typed the product name into Google, then clinked on the link at microsoft.com. I found my way to the links to update the keyboard software for Windows 10 and for the Quickstart guide. There is also a larger Product Guide but haven't downloaded that one yet.

The retail or home keyboard often have extra dedicated keys for you mail program, sound volume, DVD controls, etc. Business keyboard are just stand 101-kyed boards.The connector you are looking for is a PS2 round connector. You can get an adaptor that accepts the now-standard USB flat connector and allows you to plug into the round, usually purple PS2 keyboard connector at the top back of your computer.

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

yeah there is probably no deference, also sometimes business keyboards come with the numerical keys added to the side but again this type of keyboard probably doesn't have that option.

Louis, I do not have an HP so I can't help you. Current keyboard is a Microsoft from amazon and it tuned out to be very good. I hope that is of some assistance. Andrew

I wanted to replace the Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard as it takes quite some effort to type (cleaning the keys has not helped significantly). The Microsoft sculpt worked better in that respect but since it broke down so soon I am going to stick with Logitech mouse and keyboard.

Yes, I use the Microsoft natural keyboard elite with my Windows 7 and love it.

I would suggest checking into the MSI Wind. I personally haven't had the pleasure (or possibly horror, but let us hope not) of using any of these products yet but I am looking into them for the same reason as you. Currently I am leaning towards the Aspire One, but I have gone back and forth with the MSI Wind. The Aspire does offer CF slots which are fairly cheap to expand. Also if you are technically inclined you can replace the hard drive to which it is equipped with an Ipod (ZIF) hard drive. With all of that said rumor has it that the Dell "E" is being released on the 15th of August with a base price of $299 USD. The most important qualities for me are a lengthy battery life (which the aspire does not have with the included 3 cell battery, ~3 hours) and a solid comfortable keyboardfor extended typing sessions. Good luck in your quest!

There is no difference. They both have the same keys, I use the Business one at work and I dont see any difference.

I can't really answer your question but my business version hasn't got media keys or other extras, just a basic keyboard with calculator on the right side, really basic.
