I think he was suggesting that you try them out to see how it feels to actually type on it. Think back to the old keyboards of 10+ years ago and how horrible it would be to type on them now. Some newer keyboards feel great, and some are so-so to type on. Try to see how it feels to actually use it if you can. As far as the ergonomic keyboards go, I like mine, but I regularly use other computers and it's somewhat annoying to switch between the two.

Someone else mentioned a USB hub. If you have enough USB ports, there is no need for this. If you only have the one extra free usb port, but no other usb devices, then there is no need for this. If you buy something else later that needs a usb port, you can pick up a usb hub then. Also, some keyboards have the hub built in anyway.
