00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:14.960
I am now on the list for Microsoft Hardware apparently so all I got in

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:21.400
terms of information about this particular guy here is that this is

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:24.960
model number 1482 of a keyboard made by

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:27.840
Microsoft okay this is the 3xj

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:32.920
000019 in terms of the part number and it comes in a brown box this is a

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:38.200
Microsoft keyboard which has a bit of a wave to it let's go ahead and take the

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:43.120
uh plastic covering off here and hopefully at some point we will be able

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:48.000
to find out exactly what this model is ah here we go so apparently what I have

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:53.520
to unbox and take a look at today is the Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard 3000

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:56.000
for business so that is what Ms part

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:01.320
number X 8221 34-5 is look at that the manufacturing

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:05.560
date is like less Le than a month ago very cool all right so let's have a look

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:09.680
at this here product and see if Microsoft includes anything else of note

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:12.560
in the packaging so we do have a product guide with important safety and health

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:17.159
information as well as a limited warranty in terms of warranty I wouldn't

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.400
worry too much oh okay keyboard in uh 3 years

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:26.040
neat okay and and the thing about Microsoft Hardware warranty is that it

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:32.640
is actually one of the best in the biz they are there are me very very very

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.479
many testimonials out there on the inar

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.159
webs about how Microsoft takes care of their Hardware customers when something

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:42.920
goes wrong with a Microsoft keyboard mouse headset joystick whatever the case

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:48.640
may be so let's have a look at the layout overall I was actually one of the

00:01:45.399 --> 00:01:50.079
uh shoot what was that thing called I

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.000
think it was called the Microsoft natural keyboard that that old old one

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.200
that was made of like you know beige old computer colored plastic and it had the

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:03.640
split in the middle right so when you're using it you're like this click clickity

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.240
clickity everyone hated it when it first

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:10.200
came out um well everyone I knew I mean there are lots of people who swear by

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:13.760
those those those ergonomic style keyboards but I loved it I had one of

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:20.000
those original Microsoft ones that I used for years and this is more like an

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:23.680
in between so you don't have that split down the middle of the keyboard but you

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:29.120
can see if you look at it in an angle it does have a bit of a curve so why did I

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:31.200
like it so much I liked it because this

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.640
when you're when you're in your Arms This shape I'm going to point them at

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.800
you is a lot more natural than this in terms of your shoulders and the

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.599
alignment of your arms so they put a slight curve to this keyboard so that

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:49.120
you're actually holding your hands in a more comfortable position while you type

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:51.879
while keeping the keys all together so you don't have that weird on natural

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.560
split because remember not everyone types correctly although using that

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.080
keyboard was one of the ways that fixed my incorrect typing where I was reaching

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.360
over to the other side of the keyboard whenever it was conven venient because the split didn't allow me to do it so

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:09.599
this guy right here just has a slight curve so it's an in between a flat

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.920
keyboard and a large ergonomic style

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.159
keyboard that's what I where I was trying to go with that now in terms of

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.000
the layout we've got a pretty standard layout Microsoft hasn't committed any

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:22.280
cardinal sins on this keyboard so you can see we have a fullsize tab very long

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.599
shift key in order to make sure that you can reach it like no matter what look

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.599
how long that shift key is it's like the longest key on the keyboard than space

00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:32.200
bar okay we do have a fullsize backspace key

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.200
full size Enter key and another long shift key look at these shift Keys

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.799
they're like monstrosities okay we haven't moved around any of the critical

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:46.280
Keys we have nice large delete key home end page up page down are all in their

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:50.599
correct locations the scroll lock insert and insert I like this one up here

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.319
because having the insert up here means that sometimes you can accidentally

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.840
press it when you meant backspace or you meant delete and then you end up typing over your stuff and it compounds a small

00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:02.760
error and turns it into a much much larger error

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.159
uh We've also only got one Windows key so there's a Windows key here and then

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.720
the other one is a function key so using the function key we can access keys that

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:14.879
we otherwise can't access like pause and it looks like that's

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:20.199
actually the only thing it does no it couldn't

00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:22.479
be must be fascinating okay we do have a

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.479
number pad layout a number lock and we have a couple media Keys as well so we

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.320
can access the calculator that's good for business we can also play pause

00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.960
reduce the volume and increase the volume of the music that we are

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:40.080
listening to in our office which is bothering the others next to

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:41.360
us and that is pretty much all that I

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:45.800
have to say about it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.600

00:04:50.039 --> 00:04:56.000
feature so it actually shows you see there's a little star on the control and

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:59.440

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.880
think about it at all look at that I didn't even know Windows d goes to the
