Does anybody know of a "natural" keyboard (the ergonomic design with the break in the middle and the keys on each side angled up and to the side) that natively supports USB? Mine right now is only PS/2, and an adapter will not work for what I want.

all of the microsoft and logitech keyboardse should use USB standard.

Mine has an option for both.

My Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard is PS/2 only.

I don't think I have ever seen one that was USB native without requiring a PS/2 to USB adapter on a single connection.

I've got a Natural Keyboard Pro (microsofts) and it has both a USB cord and a PS/2 on the same line. It works fine.

Odd, it seems the replacement for my keyboard got its USB part removed...

Ahh maybe.. I only buy wireless keyboards and Microsoft's only have a 3' Range according to the last one I bought. Couldn't even put the keyboard in my lap without it getting interference and not working properly. It had an adaptor as did every other model I looked at when I purchased it.

Just got a Logitech LX700 Keyboard/Mouse set to replace it. It also requires a convertor to use it as a USB device.
