This is a terrific value for a superb keyboard. If you're a split keyboard fan, you know that once you've tried one, you'll never look back. This is a USB (wired) keyboard. If you are a fast typist, you actually WANT a USB keyboard and not a wireless one. So this is a winner.
Here are the qualities I like best:
1. Split design. This allows you to relax both hands in a more ergonomic, natural, relaxed typing position. The keys are slightly angled, or splayed, so that your fingers can reach keys with ease. Personally, I find conventional keyboards too cramped and crowded to type particularly fast. With a split board, my fingers fly.
2. Two Spacebars. Each spacebar is easy to reach, positioned under each split keypad. More convenient than you know. Also helps speed typing tasks.
3. Built in wristrest is positioned "just right." Comfortable, large, and curved.
4. Board is "mounded" in the center (the area where the two split keyboards converge is higher than the outside edges). Again, this improves the ergonomics. Typing is faster, easier, and less fatiguing.
5. Speed buttons (silver) at the top of the keyboard. These let you quickly launch your browser, search, email, put the computer to sleep, increase volume, decrease volume, and mute your speakers.
My Wish List?
Overall, I love this keyboard (I also have a 10 year old one by Fellowes on an older desktop). HOWEVER, I would love it if Fellowes would offer a "Cadillac" version. I would pay more for:
1. Slightly softer keys (these require a firm press).
2. A truly QUIET keyboard. I am among the few, I'm sure, who are somewhat irritated by the sound of keys clacking. This board's not bad, but it's not what I'd define as quiet. I would truly rank this as a PERFECT keyboard if the keys were a bit softer and quieter.
As far as I know, this is one of the best keyboards on the market for split keyboard fans. Other brands are more expensive, but many of them have quirks I couldn't live with (like dropped keystrokes). I've never had an "oops" with this one. Any typing mistakes I make with the board are MINE and not the keyboard's. A+; Highly recommended for its quality and exceptional value.

Comfortable keyboard at a great price
I purchased this keyboard for my home office, and after a week of use am already feeling less discomfort in my wrists. I was skeptical of ergonomic keyboards, but was curious to see the impact this would have on my typing comfort. After one week of use, I can honestly say that I wish I bought this sooner.Wrist comfort was the main reason I bought this, and it has already proven to help in that respect. I feel less achy after work, making this well worth the price.Typing ease of use is also good. A slight learning curve but it honestly only took me 2-3 days of use to get comfortable typing on this layout. No typos or anything at this point. The only thing I dislike is the arrow keys. Placement is non-traditional and size seems small. Still getting used to them, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this is a non-issue.The size of this keyboard is very similar to a standard keyboard, and the shortcut buttons on the top are nice as well. I use the "sleep" button daily, but the others remain unused. Probably unnecessary, but they don't get in my way.I tried the Microsoft ergonomic keyboard (4000) in-store, but the spacebar was incredibly loud. I looked online and saw other people saying the same thing, leading me to look for an alternative. The spacebar on the Fellowes keyboard is normal volume and probably on-par with my old keyboard that came standard with a new HP desktop computer.Overall, I would absolutely recommend this keyboard for office/home use.
