I read the reviews about the spacebar, and found them to be true. The difference in pressure required distracts and gets in the way. The keys in general I found to be oddly placed, unreliable (sometimes a given key didn't work - not sure if that's the brand or the specific keyboard I had).Aside from that, the keyboard looks great, and I loved the palm rest. But as a keyboard, where the Natural Elite excelled, this one failed. Ended up going with a Perrix as a close replacement for the Natural Elite.I hope Microsoft gets their act together, their hardware is usually a pleasure to use, and well built.
