Some keyboards clutter themselves with custom keys. But I am good enough with standard keyboard shortcuts that additional keys just get in the way. Other than volume, those are useless to me.

The 7000 has a few custom buttons (features I rarely use). Though there were several improvements to the keyboard layout that followed the 7000 (like the large delete button), the 7000 layout is plain-Jane standard, and easy to use. Laptops always come with some kooky layout that the OEM thinks is clever when it’s plain stupid. I can learn another keyboard layout if I have to do it. This is also why the wrist rest simply has to be attached to the base. But this single, innovative feature has propelled this keyboard into near mythical ergonomic lore. The 7000 reverse tilt is a kickstand in the front, tilting the keyboard away from you. Standard keyboard kickstands are in the back, tilting the keyboard toward you. But, hold out your hands and find your fingers pointing down, not up. You will never believe this until you try it yourself. As a result, as you will read in the next point, when you would elevate the keyboard, the rest didn’t wiggle a bit. This might sound trivial, but the comfortable wrist rest wasn’t a snap-on rest. It allows your hands to rest at dramatically contrasted angles and, as a bonus, drives your typing skills through the roof! This might sound controversial, but insofar as ergonomic comfort, nothing competes with the split keyboard. What do I love about it so much? Not everything, granted. The keyboard gives me amazing comfort and stamina to work. Lots of the key printing has been warn off from use. I have been using this style of keyboard for far more than 6 years.
