Looks like I need a replacement. Absolutely love this keyboard specifically. Does anyone have this in a decent shape? The internet is going crazy with insane prices on this keyboard (wtf?!).

Thanks!

EDIT: Found a decent shaped, actually 6 of them. So I bought them all for the future. - eBay!

THANK YOU ALL! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Isn't it crazy how good old tech was? I can't believe how hooked I am on these keyboards. The new ones seem to have key space (key travel) of a mini laptop.

Yeah, the box on mine says copyright 1998,1999.

I have an early white Natural Pro at work, a 4000 in the basement, and a new one at work as a spare just in case either fails. Someone stole all the rest I had stockpiled in the office. Love those things!
 
i wish microsoft do like logitech that get standard usb receiver. i got lots of logi keyboards, on thift shops. i see couples of those never take them because that.
 
I still have a couple of well used MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboards (that aren't for sale and wouldn't be worth buying) just in case. For me it was the best keyboard layout I've ever used and wish I could get a quality mechanical with the same layout.
 
I have one but the letters have worn off. It works great otherwise. I went to replace mine and now they cost in the hundreds. Where they discontinued? Anyway, I use a Corsair Mechanical for gaming but picked up a Nulea to replace the MS Natural and If you like the MS natural, you will love this thing. Its only 50 bucks. It is both blue tooth and wireless USB. I love it in that I can toggle between my laptop and main rig using the function w or e keys (Bluetooth). 1 month of use so far and it shares many of the same attributes for much less money and with added convenience. You could use it on a third machine using the supplied Usb wireless dongle and function Q

Thanks for the tip on the Nulea. Yes they were discontinued, and as soon as they were discontinued they went through the roof. The 4000 seems to be the priciest of all.

How is key-travel/key-space between the keys in comparison to 4000? That was my biggest concern, I do a lot of CLI and hate fat-fingering commands and arguments.

I was able to adjust after about 5 minutes and now prefer it. To be specific, a tiny bit more travel however better feel.
