Belkin
My employer wants me to try using an ergonomic keyboard and supplied me with a Belkin model.
I tried it for a couple of hours and despised it, so I switched back to my regular HP keyboard.
Has anyone else tried a Belkin ergonomic keyboard, and if so, did you find you had to literally slam your thumb into the space bar in order to have it work correctly?
Since I don't like this one, I'm sure they'll want to order me another type. Besides the Kinesis Advantage (which I think they would deem too expensive), any recommendations for an ergonomic keyboard with a nice light touch?
TIA, ladies!!! 
Belkin
If anyone comes across a Belkin ergo keyboard and is considering it, just a heads-up that I had one but the keys required such a forceful keystroke to "engage" that my entire arms up to my shoulders were sore.
Maybe the one I had was defective, but I've steered clear of Belkin products since. I'm currently using a Microsoft Ergo keyboard and it seems to be okay.
Let us know what you come up with.
Where can I buy Belkin Omniview? SM
 A friend gave me one a long time ago, but now I'm afraid it might break and I don't have a backup. I looked at CompuUSA, but they don't carry the quality one I want.
Is there a mail order source? I know I sound like a feeb, but I just don't know where to look to buy this. I'm prepared to pay $300-400 or whatever the cost. I just need a two port one.
I'm not looking to purchase this from someone here, really, I just would like to know vendors that sell this type of equipment.
Thank you.
getting ready to set-up a belkin
this weekend, ps2 ...
will let you know.
I hope someone with experience answers ...
:P
Belkin. Have had it many years with no
problems at all. Have my work computer, home computer and mom's computer upstairs linked to it. Works great.
I have a Belkin and it works great.

Belkin TuneBuds for IPod - sm
I just bought a pack of 5 pairs of these things at Kohls for $10. They are the exact same foam thingies that go on my headset, and they come in fashion colors! Just an FYI if anyone has been looking for foam things.
Anyone here have the Belkin ergo keyboardSM
I just bought one on Amazon.com (it should be here on Friday). Just wondering what you all think of it? I really liked my MS ergo elite keyboard, so I wonder if I'll be disappointed by trying to save a few bucks.
Thanks for your feedback! :)

I use a Belkin wireless router
for mine. Signal is strong from the router to the wireless too. It comes with instructions on how to hook it all up, pretty simple. Remember you have to set up BOTH computers when you do it (router to main PC, then USB card to the other). But I have broadband and not sure how it works with dail-up.
I don't understand why people use dial-up anymore or even DSL with limits. I have RoadRunner via Brighthouse and my entire cable/phone/internet package is $130/mo, and that's with HBO,Showtime,Cinemax. Unlimited calling and no restrictions on my internet usage. Now they offer to bump up your connection speed for a fee but I've never needed anything more than the basic connection.
Thanks for the heads up on the Belkin. I'm crossing
this one off my list for sure...I've had to use that type of keyboard before where you have to push too hard on the keys - not good!
Belkin Ergonomic, Model # F8E208
If you Google it, you will come up with tons of places to buy it from. I bought mine at Target for 30 bucks, well worth it and more.
mine is a Belkin - easy to hook up
think I paid about 35.00 but it is a little white button that you toggle back and forth. Great little thing. I spent forever rolling chair back and forth between computers. Got it at Staples.
I didn't push hard with my Belkin, but
I hated how big it was and how my body didn't like it so well. I recently made the switch to the Kinesis Advantage from my Belkin, and I really, really like the Kinesis. It's so much smaller, the keys are really light to the touch, and I can set it in my lap, which I prefer to the desk. I would recommend the investment for the Kinesis if you can. Besides the thumb keys being the greatest invention ever, the number split is at 5 and 6 like on the Belkin. If you look for a reburbished Kinesis Advantage, it will save $60. It has the same warranty as the brand new one. Mine is a refurb, but it's good as new.
I have had the same issues!!! i am gonna call my router co. too although i used belkin. sm
i have no idea about "networking" but walked myself through their installation. my net speed was horrible, so i fiddled with it and set up new user, etc through network connections. now it doesn't even show a user on my setup but yet daughter is on with laptop. so odd. we need a crash course on networking!!
I had the same problem with the Belkin and sometimes it didn't work at all so I got the Dynex and
That was my solution, maybe someone else has had a better experience with the Belkin than I did.
Google search shows TigerDirect and belkin.com both carry this. nm

I did try the Belkin and I thought it was working but the first time I let up on my foot pedal
it just stopped and froze up my computer. I tried all of the COM ports I could think of. Today, I ordered the Dynex adapter which is the other adapter that Escription recommends and I'm going to try that. I am not giving up. I do hope that in version 8 of Editscript that really do make the foot pedals USB and get into this century. It's almost impossible to find new computers that have the serial ports on them anymore. I will update you on this Dynex adapter when I try it out now. So, for the time being, I am packing along my little portable computer when I travel. It's pretty small but it's just having to bubble wrap the flat monitor that is a pain. At least, I get to work and play. It'd just be nice if I could take my laptop instead..
Escription users- Belkin USB adapter for foot pedal problems
Hey, as most of you know, we're stuck using the old 9-pin foot pedal. Well, I bought the Belkin adapter and set it to the ports as Escription's web site instructed, and at first, it was working when I hit the foot pedal. I heard it, and then my mouse stopped and everything froze. It did this twice to where I just had ot turn off my computer. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, what did you do. It was frustrating to get to that one, have sound..everything...and then froze up the computer completely. Thanks
Yeah I went onto the website and just ordered a Belkin adapter. It's worth a shot at this point.
I'll let you know if it works at all when I get it.
