Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan ku dhammeeyey iibsashada Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 . Kiiboodhka qaabaysan ee ergonomic oo leh hawlo badan oo warbaahin ah oo aan meel badan ka qaadanayn miiskayga oo caddeeyey inuu yahay qalab aad u fiican oo lagu qoro maqaallada Muwaadiniinta Dijital ah^{(Digital Citizen)} . Laakin aynu dibiga geesaha qabsano oo aragno waxa kiiboodhkani uu u hayo isticmaalayaashiisa.

The Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 waxay ku timaadaa sanduuq casaan iyo caddaan ah, oo xoogaa caadi u ah kiiboodhka Microsoft . Baakadu waxay aad ugu egtahay kiiboodhka Microsoft Sculpt Comfort^{(Microsoft Sculpt Comfort)} ee aan dib u eegnay wakhti ka hor.

Markaad furto sanduuqa waxaad ka heli kartaa kiiboodhka oo ku duudduubay bac ka hortag ah oo ay la socdaan hagaha alaabta iyo dammaanadda.

Keyboard-ku waxa uu leeyahay 104 furayaal oo QWERTY ah, waxa uu ku xidhayaa kombuyuutarka iyada oo la sii marayo dekedda USB 2.0 waxana uu ka kooban yahay afar furayaal oo kala duwan: laba si loo xakameeyo mugga, mid lagu ciyaaro oo lagu joojiyo codka iyo mid lagu furayo Xisaabiyaha Windows^{(Windows Calculator)} . Furayaasha warbaahinta badani waxay hubaal ahaan u noqon doonaan kuwo dheeraad ah isticmaaleyaal badan, maadaama Microsoft ay ku jirto oo keliya afarta furayaasha warbaahinta badan ee la isticmaalo, halkii ay ka ahaan lahaayeen saf sare oo buuxa oo inta badan kaliya luminaya booska iyada oo aan si buuxda loo isticmaalin.

Kiiboodhka wuxuu leeyahay 3 tilmaame oo LED ah oo loogu talagalay ^(LED)Qufulka Koofiyadaha^{(Caps Lock)} , Num Lock iyo Qufulka Qufulka^{(Scroll Lock)} .

Waxa aan aad ula yaabay cabbirrada kiiboodhka, maadaama uu aad u khafiifsan yahay oo dhuuban yahay. Marka aad ka rogto, waxaad ogaan kartaa shan cagood oo caag ah oo shaqo fiican qabta oo ka ilaalinaya kiiboodhka inuu u dhaqaaqo miiska. Marka la eego qaabka ergonomic ee kiiboodhka, Microsoft waxay dooratay inaan lagu darin cagaha la laaban karo runtiina ma dareemin baahida noocaas ah isticmaalka maalinlaha ah ee kiiboodhka.

Inkasta oo qaabka kiiboodhka uu ka dhigayo mid ku raaxaysan in la isticmaalo, haddana dhinaca hoose ee hoose ayaa ah balaastigga dhalaalaysa ee uu ka samaysan yahay, kaas oo ah faro weyn iyo magnet boodh. Waxaad hoos ku arki kartaa sida ay u egtahay ka dib dhowr toddobaad oo la isticmaalo.

Ku rakibida Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 gudaha Windows 8.1

Maadaama darawaladu ay horey ugu jireen nidaamka qalliinka, Microsoft ma soo dejiso wax CD ah oo wata darawallada kiiboodhkan.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Microsoft waxay bixisaa codsigeeda Mouse iyo Keyboard Center^{(Mouse and Keyboard Center)} , taas oo, aragti ahaan, waa inay ogaadaan dhammaan jiirarka iyo kiiboodhka. Ku rakibida codsiga Windows 8.1 wax farqi ah ma samaynin software-kani ma ogaanin kiiboodhka. Marka la eego qaabka aasaasiga ah ee kiiboodhka, ma arko sabab kasta oo ay ugu baahan tahay software gaar ah si kastaba.

Isticmaalka Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000

Qalabka Comfort Curve 3000 ee Microsoft^{(Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000)} ayaa ahaa kiiboodhkayga ugu muhiimsan in muddo ah, sidoo kale waxa aan ku dul qoray dib u eegistan. Waxaan si gaar ah ula dhacay sida uu u aamusan yahay kiiboodhkani, xataa marka la barbar dhigo kiiboodhka laptop-ka chiclet. Furayaashu waa adag yihiin oo fadhiyada dheer ee qorista ayaa aad ugu farxay kiiboodhkan. Sawaxan aad u yar iyo wax dhaawac ah oo cudud ah oo ay ku mahadsan tahay naqshadaynta ergonomic.

Iyadoo qaabka qaloocan ee furayaashu ay qaadan karto waqti yar si aan ula qabsado maalmaha ugu horreeya ee isticmaalka, waxaan si degdeg ah u maareeyay inaan iska ilaaliyo qoraallada oo aan dib ugu soo celiyo xawaarahayga wax ku qorida sidii caadiga ahayd.

Kiiboodhkan waxaa loogu talagalay in lagu qoro iyo shaqada xafiiska tanina waa ay sii caddahay haddii aan eegno "hoosta ka hooseeya". Si ka duwan bulkier, kiiboodhka qaaliga ah, kani wuxuu ku salaysan yahay nidaamka qubbad caag ah, halkii uu ka ahaan lahaa mid makaanik ah. Oo tani waa meesha ay tahay inaad fiiro gaar ah u yeelato, gaar ahaan haddii aad tahay ciyaaryahan. Waxa aan u isticmaalay kiiboodhka qoraal ahaan iyo ciyaarista labadaba, ciyaartu waa halka ay ku gaaban tahay. Heerka rooxaanta ee furayaashu waa mid aad u weyn oo marar badan waxaan lahaa waayo-aragnimada ah in aan farta ka soo qaado furaha jihada ka dib markii aan hayay in muddo ah oo aan arko dabeecadda ciyaarta oo u sii socota jihadaas ilaa aan mar kale riixay furaha. Tani waa wax inta badan dhaca, markaa haddii aad gasho ciyaaraha PC, gaar ahaan kuwa wax toogtay, tani waxay noqon doontaa dhibaato weyn. Hadday arrintu sidaas tahay,

Xukun

Haddii aad raadinayso kiiboodhka ergonomic oo leh qaabaynta caadiga ah oo leh kaliya furayaasha warbaahinta badan ee ugu faa'iidada badan, markaa Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 waa bang aad u fiican lacagtaada. In kasta oo tayada wax-ku-dhisku iyo khibradda wax-ku-qorista ay labaduba aad u wanaagsan yihiin, maskaxda ku hay walxaha dhalaalaya ee ay ku ciyaarto iyo xaqiiqda ah in aanay u fiicnayn ciyaaraha PC-ga. Mar labaad, looma jeedin in ay noqoto kiiboodhka ciyaaraha, markaa tani run ahaantii ma ahan hoos-u-dhac weyn.

Reviewing the Comfort Curve 3000 - A Silent Keyboard from Microsoft

Having used laрtоp keyboards for the past few years now, as soon as I decidеd to build a new PC I was faced with the overwhelmіng choice of kеyboards for dеsktop computers. Ergonomic keyboards, mechaniсal keyboards, gaming kеуboards and whatnot. Since I didn't want to sрend too much money on it and having been satisfied with the quality of Mіcrоsoft's keyboards in the past, I decided to check out their offers. And so І ended up buying the Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000. An ergonomic shaped keyboard with multimedia funсtions that doesn't take up too much space on my desk and haѕ proven to bе a great tool for writing articles for Digital Citizen. But let's grab the bull by the horns and see what this keyboard has to offer its users.

Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 - Unboxing and Specifications

The Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 comes in a red and white box, somewhat typical to Microsoft's keyboards. The packaging is very similar to that of the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort keyboard that we have reviewed some time ago.

Since I didn't have a proper photo camera around, I used my smartphone's camera to shoot the pictures below, so please excuse the poor image quality.

Once you open the box you can find the keyboard wrapped in a protective plastic bag together with the product guide and the warranty.

The keyboard has a 104 keys QWERTY layout, it connects to the computer via a USB 2.0 port and it features four multimedia keys: two for controlling the volume, one for playing and pausing audio and one for launching the Windows Calculator. The multimedia keys will definitely be a plus for many users, since Microsoft included only the four most used multimedia keys, instead of a full top row that usually just wastes space without being fully used.

The keyboard has 3 LED indicators for the Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock functions.

I was rather surprised by the dimensions of the keyboard, since it's very lightweight and thin. Once you flip it over, you can notice five rubber feet that do a great job keeping the keyboard from moving on the desk. Given the ergonomic shape of the keyboard, Microsoft chose not to include foldable feet and I really didn't feel the need for such in my daily use of the keyboard.

Even though the shape of the keyboard makes it quite comfortable to use, a big downside is the glossy plastic it's made of, which is a big fingerprint and dust magnet. You can see below how it looks like after a couple of weeks of use.

Installing the Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 in Windows 8.1

The installation of the keyboard under Windows 8.1 was almost instant. I plugged the keyboard into the USB port and the operating system automatically installed the drivers for it and set it up correctly.

Since the drivers are already included in the operating system, Microsoft does not ship any CD with drivers for this keyboard.

However, Microsoft does offer its Mouse and Keyboard Center application, which, in theory, should detect all of their mice and keyboard. Installing the application on Windows 8.1 did not make any difference as this software did not detect the keyboard. Given the basic layout of the keyboard, I don't see any reason why it would need a dedicated software anyway.

In case your system doesn't properly detect it, you can download the software from the official download page for both Windows 7 and 8..

Using the Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000

The Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 has been my main keyboard for a while now and I've also written this review on it. I was especially impressed by how silent this keyboard is, even compared to a chiclet laptop keyboard. The keys are sturdy and long typing sessions are quite a pleasure on this keyboard. Very little noise and no wrist injuries thanks to the ergonomic design.

While the curved layout of the keys might take a little time to get used to in the first few days of usage, I've quickly managed to avoid typos and get my typing speed back to normal.

This keyboard is destined for typing and office work and this is even more obvious if we take a look "under the hood". Unlike bulkier, more expensive keyboards, this one is based on a rubber dome system, rather than a mechanical one. And this is where you should pay attention, especially if you are a gamer. I've used the keyboard both for writing and for playing games, gaming is exactly where it falls short. The ghosting level of the keys is rather big and I have often had the experience of lifting my finger from a direction key after keeping it pressed for a while and see the game character keep moving into that direction until I had pressed the key again. This is something that happens quite often, so if you're into PC games, especially shooters, this will be a big problem. If this is the case, I strongly advise you to consider a mechanical or a gaming keyboard.

Verdict

Microsoft has managed once again to build a quality product and offer it a very decent price - around $24.95. If you are looking for an ergonomic keyboard with a standard layout and with only the most useful multimedia keys, then the Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000 is a great bang for your buck. While the build quality and the typing experience are both very good, do keep in mind the glossy material it sports and the fact that it's not a good choice for PC games. Then again, it was never meant to be a gaming keyboard, so this is not really a big downside.
