and its clicky, AND the best part is that I have spilled my coffee into it at least 5 times and its still rolling along! I did pay about 189.00 for it though and i bought in on line.
Goldtouch ergonomic keyboard
it looks more square, but its full adjustable from left to right as well as you can angle the entire keyboard toward you or away from you.
Goldtouch Keyboard on ebay - Cheaper!

The title says it all. If you look, you can find a Goldtouch keyboard on ebay for around $50, sometimes less, with either ps2 or usb connectors.
I have one -- they are quite nice and the typing angle is highly adjustable.

How To Help A Sticky Keyboard? Keys Seem To Be A Hard Touch But Jun 22, 2014Seems like for a while now the keys take a harder touch, sometimes they don't connect and I have to hit a key twice.
it's a microsoft wireless comfort keyboard, model 1027. I have taken canned air and blown dust and cat hair out of it, wondering if using alcohol swabs gently in each key mechanism might help?

Microsoft 4000 Keyboard Versus Logitech Aug 28, 2014i have been using the Microsoft 4000 keyboard for quite a few years now and love the shape and features, but it doesn't seem to last more then 5 or 6 months, so when it starts acting up I just order a new one off Amazon and keep the replacement close by until the old one dies. When looking tonight for my next replacement, I spotted the Logitech wave combo mk550 wireless with a wireless mouse. The keyboard is just a little different but the wireless part appeals to me.

Infinity IN-USB-1 Pedal Stopped Working ... Dec 31, 2010In the middle of a dictation when I pressed the pedal it wouldn't stop the dictation. Now it won't play anything. I've had it a few years and never had any problems. I restarted the computer, even did a system restore, and still not working. I downloaded the driver just in case it mysteriously decided to go away.
Is there any way to test to see if it's defective?
