Yeah, I don't quite understand this attitude. If you use a computer as much as I do, you deserve to have a nice keyboard. Maybe not $2000 USD nice, but still decent.

I had gotten nearly two decades of use from the three of my Microsoft Natural keyboards (the original one). They weren't that expensive at the time.

I'm currently running a pair of MS Natural 4000s (one bought used from eBay) that are each approximately a decade old. I had to take them apart once to clean the key membrane, but they've been fine since. (Just looking at one of them now in front of me... it could really use a good vacuuming.)
