"games use the WASD configuration, which is all left hand, and you've got your right hand on the mouse, so what is the problem? "
I suppose the problem is a 6 year old gaming habit. My right hand is on the mouse, and my left hand is on the arrow keys. After a quick sliding of the keyboard to the left, this setup is comfortable, and I have easy access to many unique keys which I map (Ctrl, Shift, Enter, Insert, Del, Home, Page Up, etc.). Its nice having such intuitive keys: I can map Enter to enter, Del to eliminate, Shift to change, Ctrl to control, etc. My aversion is this setup is simply impossible w/a natural keyboard. But, though WASD and its nearby keys seem less intuitive to map, I will willing to adapt for the other potential benefits.
?I have tried both but sometimes a USB connector can cause delays at startup while it configures in windows.?
Oh, that?s good to know!
Also, my friend is working on his master?s, is a touch typist and uses his (natural) keyboard a lot. He did admit, however, the when switching to a standard keyboard he does sometimes hit the wrong keys! Also, it was said above ?Stick me in front of a normal keyboard, and I type slower.? Hmm? I would hope that adapting to a natural keyboard wouldn?t cause me to type slower on a standard keyboard.
?I prefer natural keyboards as well, but I can't find one to match the feeling of the Logitech Elite.?
If a get a natural keyboards, that is the exact model I will get! FYI: the same model you linked to can be found for $10 less on New egg (retail).
?Are you talking about Ergonomic keyboards??
Ah, yes, that?s what I mean. I thought I clarified what I meant my natural on the top, but perhaps I did not well enough.
?At home I use a standard keyboard which is IMO better for gaming.?
?and there lies my hesitation!
