microsoft ergonomic keyboard 4000 business vs retail

The most important key for startup and shutdown cause there is no sleep key is disabled out of the box. The escape key is tiny and likely going to be the reason this keyboard goes in the dumpster but I will try to nake it work cause the size of the keyboard is awesome on the desk.It is lacking in keys, I click the windows button out of the box and it says 'key disabled'. The keys are in wrong places, I struggle to get a question mark and a unix slash. They don't travel far enough so they are hard to get used to as all are. For a chicklet keyboard the keys are not too bad. I like the keypad disconnected so I can put it aside a bit. The last gen of them was almost straight and embarassing for a company who generally makes great keyboards and once created the best trackball ever until its bearings wore out.This keyboard ? suprisingly little. And they have returned to making comfortable split keyboards again. I am now using this one at least for the time being.Microsoft can now say they are in the chicklet game. Damn Sony for creating the early one and double damn Apple for popularizing them. I bought only the keyboard because I have used a track ball for 20 years and don't need another microsoft mouse hanging around. I have been disappointed of late with Microsoft's no longer ergonimic keyboards which had started to straighten out.
