It's crazy really to use an ordinary keyboard. It's basically the same as when the keyboard was invented. At that time there was some justification for having to fit your hands to the machine. Now there is none really. The Microsoft one is pretty cheap. If I have to use an ordinary keyboard now it feels fine for the first five minutes but then I start to feel what it really is - cramped.
I feel the same way about QWERTY -- I've been typing in Dvorak for ten years now, and on the rare occasions I have to go back to QWERTY on a full-size keyboard it feels like I'm tying my fingers into knots.
