Fantastic set!!
I have been using this set at work (40+ hours/week) for almost 10 months, and I am SO happy with it!! The complaints I read before purchasing it were mostly about the aesthetics: piano black finish shows finger prints, and the palm rest fades. Neither of these is drastic, in my opinion, and neither bothers me in the slightest. I do periodically wipe the palm rest with touchscreen wipes, and that seems to help a bit with the "graying" areas where my hands typically rest. But, the amount of fading is minimal (and actually looks more drastic in the photo than in person). I leave the keyboard and mouse on all the time, and I just did my first battery replacement about a week ago, so the battery drain is not bad at all. (The 10-key pad uses a button cell, so that one is still going strong.) I first purchased this keyboard set in hopes of eliminating some wrist pain I was having from horrible ergonomics at a previous job, and it did the trick! I still have minor pain now and then (wouldn't be surprised if there's some irreparable damage in there), but the difference was unmistakable after using this keyboard for only one or two weeks. Switching to the split ergonomic style was easy; I had no issues after only a couple of days. The only "complaint" I have (sarcasm, folks) is that when I taught myself to type, I hit the "6" key with my right index finger, and with this keyboard I have had to relearn that and use my left index finger instead! Ha!! Seriously, love at first feel and we're living happily ever after!

Nothing is perfect
I couldn't choose between this one and the new Surface Ergonomic Keyboard, but my desktop doesn't have bluetooth so I ended up getting this one. However, nothing is perfect. But I've read a lot of reviews on this one before buying it so I accept every imperfection of it. There are a few things I don't like about it: 1. No on and off button. If you don't take out your batteries the keyboard will continue working even though your desktop is off. The mouse has a power button, but I decided to keep using my old mouse because I feel more comfortable using it. 2. No caps lock indicator. 3. Palm rest. This is the major reason that kept me from buying this keyboard but I decided to live with it since I didn't pay full price. The palm rest is extremely easy to get worn out. Two days after using this keyboard its palm rest has already started losing color, and my hands are not sweaty at all. I've heard that the fabric on the palm rest will come off too after a long period of time, but whatever. 4. Many people complaint about the dongle. I only use this keyboard at home and I am not taking it anywhere so the dongle is connected all the time. Therefore, I am not worried about losing it at all. The good things: Very comfortable to type on. I totally forgot how to type when I just started using it but I got used to it a few days later. I've tried many mechanical keyboards, and I would say once you get used to this keyboard, you will forget about the mechanical keyboards. Key travel is good, and the feedback is also nice. It is also very quiet except for the space bar. I even use this keyboard for gaming, and it works for me. I could have bought a mechanical keyboard if I focus on gaming, but I type a lot so I chose this one. Overall, it is a good buy for the discounted price. I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't on sale just because of the dislikes I mentioned.

Very comfortable, natural hand placement, get it
I was looking for a keyboard I could use with my laptop. This is perfect! The tilt is comfortable so I feel as if my hands are resting. I have severe carpal tunnel in both wrists. I have had surgery on my right and will have surgery on my left this year. This will make a huge difference when typing for long periods of time which I do for school/work. The keys are easy to get used to, and the keyboard really is comfortable. It is also sturdy, I tend to be heavy handed when I type so this is important to me. I didn't want anything really big so I am glad that the 10 key pad is separate. I thought that using it would be awkward but it really isn't any different than reaching over to use the mouse. Speaking of the mouse, someone mentioned it is huge and bulky. I would disagree. I think that it is comfortable. I would guess that person has smaller hands. I have used an ergo mouse in the past that hugged my hand more, maybe that is something they are used to. For me the mouse functions properly and fits my hand just fine, however I also have an ergonomic mouse pad so my wrist sits up higher. If you are using a regular mouse pad I can see how someone may feel it is bulky. I would recommend this keyboard to others. I will admit I tried to buy another keyboard from another company where I have a prime membership... anyway it was 60.00 and honestly the mouse it came with was worth more than the keyboard itself. It was terrible. You get what you pay for and if you are going to be using the keyboard often, this is a great purchase. I feel it is worth every penny. I took pictures but for some r

Relief for my hands!
As someone who types and 10-keys A LOT for their job, I needed an ergonomic set up after developing pain in my fingers and wrists. After using this set up for two days, I'm very pleased with the results. Yes, it does take some getting used to the different key sizes, but I find myself still able to type quickly and with no pain. The 10-key pad will take a little getting used to as the numbers are spaced out more than they would be on a standard keyboard. It's just a little more stretch than normal but the fact that I can move it around helps my wrist not get strained. The mouse feels great but it is LARGE and definitely not a travel type. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for relief. My job is accounts payable data entry for reference.

Very comfortable
This is the best keyboard I have ever owned. I use it at work 8-10 hours a day and it is super comfortable. Takes a little time to get used to it, but once you do you will never want another keyboard.
