[dba-Tech] A Better Keyboard?

Yup!  These are nice - I'm usually working 60 hours a week and it's all done
using the 4000.

I'm on my 4th one.   Two died for no reason - but one got killed by a beer!

I also use a wired MS Optical Notebook Mouse 3000.  It's the lightest mouse.
It also has a programmable side button which I've set to F5 for debugging in
VS.

Between the 4000 keyboard and the 3000 mouse, I have no wrist pain or
stiffness at all, even working 60 hours/week!

Hi Dan,

yes, the MS 4000 is a fantastic keyboard, I would purchase a mechanical kbd
but I love the layout and the raised front of the MS 4000 so much that I
cannot switch.

My wife works for HP and I bought her the MS 4000 kbd and a really nice
Logitech mouse.  She tells me that when her colleagues come to her desk and
see the fancy keyboard and mouse they all say "ooo, how did you get that
hardware" :)
