Thoughts on the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

What do you guys think of the Microsoft Ergo 4000 Keyboard?

I've just bought it from Newegg (it's on its way)--and I'm wondering if I got the right keyboard for me.
I don't care too much about wired/wireless--I just want reliable when-I-press-'K'-expect-to-SEE-one-'K'-onscreen performance.
And ergonomics is probably a good feature to have.

Still, I hear how this is such a HUGE keyboard, lacks USB hub, can't work with a PS/2 adapter, etc.


Thoughts?

I have it and have had it since its release and it's great. Layout of the ergonomics of the keyboard is slightly different from the norm for natural keyboards, but it took like 30 seconds to adjust. If you have never had a natural keyboard it may take a while to get used to it but after you have it's hard to use anything else because it just won't feel right. no usb hub is kind of a downer but overall it's a great keyboard. Definetly the best natural keyboard I have ever had.

Okay, I just got the 4000 and installed it. So far...I dunno. I'll have to get used to this layout.

The one real problem I'm having right now, though, is this real stiff spacebar. Any idea if this stiffness goes away with use?

On the other hand, some of these programmable shortcut keys are quite nice.
