I'm looking for an ergonomic keyboard for my G3/G4 setup. Has anyone here had any experience with Adesso TruForm or Microsoft Natural Pro keyboards? What did you think of 'em? Does the Microsoft keyboard/driver allow for standard Mac functionality like powering down from the keyboard and force-rebooting, etc.?

Any insights would be MOST helpful!

I have the Adesso Tru-Form keyboard hooked to my QuickSilver G-4 and like it very much. It has a Power Key, unlike the "Pro-Keyboard" that came with the machine. Much more comfortable to type with. The cons are that it doesn't have a dedicated key to open and close the SuperDrive. I have yet to figure out the keystokes so I can program the action to one of the function keys.

I use Adesso Tru-Form keyboards at home on my G4/400, and at work, on an iMac 600SE, and I love them. I sell Macs, so I constantly type quotes, sales forms, and enter my customers into a File Maker database, at work. At home I spend too much time on this wonderful machine, typing these replies , writing on the Mac, etc., so I get lots of use out of them, and I'm sure they've helped keep the wrist pain to a minimum.
