Editing Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 3000 (section)

===Design===
The Comfort Curve Keyboard 3000 is curved both forwards and upwards in the centre of the alphanumeric cluster, described on the box as "Contour Curve Design". The keycaps are generally the standard size, and square or rectangular in shape rather than laterally tapered as with some Microsoft ergonomic keyboards. The box for the German version notes "Für eine optimale natürliche Handhaltung" ("For an optimal natural hand position"), given in English as "Your Wrists Will Thank You". The box also notes that the design is "Ergnomosist Approved" ("Von Ergonomiespezialisten empfohlen") by Dan Odell PhD CPE, Microsoft Design Ergonomist, together with his signature; this however is a conflict of interest as an independent third party was not selected to ratify the design.

Four [[media key]]s are placed above the numeric keypad: calculator, play/pause, volume down and volume up. There is no mute key. The indicator lights are moved down to the bottom right, in front of the numeric keypad.

The navigation cluster has only five keys, with the Delete key occupying two rows and displacing Insert. Insert is moved up to where Print Screen would normally be, and Print Screen occupies the position used for Pause/Break. The right [[Windows key]] is removed, and in place of the [[menu key]] is an [[Fn key]]. The menu key is found as Fn+right shift, and the Pause key (displaced by the relocated Print Screen) is Fn+Scroll lock.

Due to the curved shape, there is no space between the cursor keys and the adjacent keys on either side.

Some common keyboard shortcuts for Windows are provided using [[front printing]]. To save space, the Ctrl keys are also labelled with a symbol (resembling some sort of blend between a cog and a six-pointed star), and this symbol is used for the control-key shortcuts. Windows key shortcuts (E for Explorer, L for lock, D for desktop) are given with the Windows logo. The tab key is labelled as selecting windows with the Alt key, with the word "window" (or below, "Fenster") replaced with an icon.
