I find myself wanting to pull up Notepad and MSPaint on short order all the time to where Win > N > Enter and Win > P > Enter isn't quick enough. And then I remembered my amazing awesome Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard has 5 programmable shortcut keys which can, among other things, launch applications. Sooo good now! If only this keyboard were available with mechanical switches.

A tiny bit of liquid sprayed onto my Microsoft Natural 4000 and now multiple keys don't work, so I guess it's dead. Any suggestions for replacements? I really like the ergonomic split keyboard design, I absolutely need the dedicated volume/mute keys, the dedicated calculator key is just as useful, and the programmable top row of keys means I can launch Notepad and Paint with 1 button which is extremely useful. With all that in mind, should I just get another Natural 4000? edit: Best Buy has them for $25 so I'll probably just get another. Part of me wants to buy a backup but that's kinda insane at this time. On the one hand, keyboards do wear out and this one is especially susceptible to liquids, but if it lasts me 4 years like my current one has, it's also reasonable to expect that my preferences might change or Microsoft might come out with an updated version, and even if I don't like the new version, I could buy another 4000 at that time. $25 though...

Rexxed posted:If it's got a lot of features you can't live without you should buy four at that price. You'll be hard pressed finding your list of stuff on another keyboard in the future that's not some kind of specialty ergonomic model with programmable keys. It will not cost $25.

I've had a Microsoft Natural 4000 for 6+ years now (I'm on my 2nd one after my first one died to a spill). I love it for typing and it's good enough for my light gaming needs. Especially nice are the calculator button, the volume/mute controls, and I have 2 shortcut keys set to launch Paint (for cropping/saving screenshots) and Notepad. Is there a "nicer" version? I'm mainly looking for better tactile feedback.
