I just got this in the mail a little while ago.
If it were illuminated, I'd get it in a heartbeat, despite a price that would call EMS from my Watch.

I've had the Freestyle and didn't care for it. Every time I sat down to use it I had to line it up, having been bumped at some point. And stowing it meant positioning again.
I have to conform to a one piece keyboard, but it's the same conformity every time, no fiddling.

I left the image big for clarity. Otherwise I would have sized it smaller.

Hmm... I'm not sure what I think of that one yet. The repositioned keys like space and backspace might drive me to drink in short order, OR adapt... not sure which.

I'm on my 3rd (or 4th?) Microsoft Natural Elite 4000, also. The last one I spilled coffee in, but it was losing key letters. My current one is down to about 50% of letters missing (they just wear off quickly), but otherwise works fine. Fortunately, I'm a touch typist.
I would like a 'clickier' action, but like Paul, I really like the natural position of hands-heading-down, and the 'ergonomic' curvature, too.
Wonder if I could paint new letters on. Then, that price jdc posted is great! I have usually paid c. $55 at Staples for mine.
I'd like to try one of those Kinesis keyboards that Zoidberg linked to, but $350 is a hefty sum.

Yeah, mine are mostly worn off too... but as long as I can sit and put my hands on it normally, I don't need 'em. It's only when I need to type a quick password with one hand or something that it slows me down a bit.
