They're lovely keyboards, just don't leave any USB devices plugged into it (if it's one of the hub versions) when you turn your computer on.
Every time I've done that the keyboard needed to be reconnectedd because the USB connection couldn't supply enough juice for both upon startup.

And the Media keys won't work unless you install the software, which is hopefully available on microsoft's file area (if the keyboard doesn't include it).

I've paid north of $50 each for the last two Natural Pro's I've bought, and thought it was worth every penny. So yeah, I'd jump on the chance to get one for under $30.

The software is available at Microsoft's hardware website.

Bah. M$ keyboards use awful membrane triggers. I suggest you buy an IBM series M keyboard which provides a much more satisfying typing experience than the M$ "natural".

I'm adicted to Logitech keyboards. Itouch USB is great and dosen't even need software for it's media buttons to work in some cases. Mine wroks great and so does my mouseman wheele, and some reviews say opti mice spin out a lot, mine has NEVER spun out on games EVER. I have TRIED to spin it out and failed, now my arm hurts from trying! So they are great mice. Plus if you want the logitech keyboards are easy to take the top off and paint whatever color you like if you know how to do it.

yeah i have a mouseman as well, and i gotta say at first it did spin out, but now it doesn't anymore, i love this baby, its real good with a rail gun:D
