In "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000" the Button "6" is in incorrect place.
My left hand's index finger have to do lot of task then.
Does anyone know about split keyboard with correct position of keys ?

Why do you want to buy a better one? What's wrong with your current one?

zer0 is correct, if you switch your typing will go to crap till you get used to it. Which is not really a downside, but working in IT there is a downside to using this keyboard. Not all of my users have split keyboards, so when I am at someone elses terminal, my typing is crap there due to being used to split keys. Something else to consider for you.

Blasphemy!
I must be racist because all keyboards are not created equal.

Sure they're not equal. Some are better, some are total shit. Some glow, some roll up - but if he's just buying another keyboard with no good reason (half broken keyboard, slow response times, ugly) then it's just a waste of money. I could see if he were going for a keyboard to do gaming with, that's acceptable to a certain point... but a new one just for typing?

Still using my Logitech el cheapo $15 keyboard with them build in multimedia keys.
Next may be either their wireless solar keyboard or their G110.

Keyboards are overrated, I'm using a logitech media one (low-profile) cost me about $15 bucks..
I think I type faster on low-profile than on high though, and (taking a wild shot here) I do believe that's generally the case, but yeah.
There are websites where you can train yourself in typing though, e.g http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/

It's pretty painful that you have to resist the urge the smash your keyboard
when you know it's really expensive.

Is it true that "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000"
spacebar is hard to press. and their keys are also not smooth ?
"I cannot check it by myself.. as I don't have any good computer shop nearby I have to buy it online."
And Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 vs Logitech Wireless Keyboard K350 ?

Don't get a wireless keyboard unless you're planning to use a laptop - waste of batteries.
I broke my keyboard last night and just ran out to get a new one, something simple & cheap. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-Keyboard-K120/15050908 - keys are super quiet and easy on the fingers to press. Has a nice feel to it overaall.

I don't recommend G15 or anything similar to it from Logitech. Reasons:
- Poor design
- Poor grade materials used to bridge the extra keys.
- Poor support from Logitech with issues.
My keyboard is almost still in mint condition from when I got it. I just recently started using it more frequently. Given that I have actually put it to use now, I'm starting to notice various buffer issues with the G keys, as well as the standard keys as well.
I made a post on Logitechs forums about it a while back to only get told 'buy the new one its better' from a tech rep. Pro quality support telling me to buy another product from them. Needless to say; I didn't. And wont.
Another thing to keep mind is all the extra buttons can be handy with gaming, but the LCD screen is useless. You will NEVER look at it. So don't waste your money on a keyboard with extra crap like an LCD screen thinking it will be amazing. You will literally never look at it.

I have heard some bad reviews about Microsoft ergonomic 4000.
1) It's spacebar and some keys are stiff and hard to press.
2) the labels on keys wear off early..
But i really want an ergonomic keyboard.. As I have to code.. 12-14 hours a day.

How to make a gaming keyboard 101
1. Use cheap parts
2. Add some bling
3. Jack up the price and justify the price with bling
4. Idiots will come like flies attracted to that blue light in a electric bug zapper.
