Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this keyboard. Bought this to replace the wireless one I had due to Windows Bluetooth issues.

I much prefer this type of split keyboard and they aren't always easy to find which is why I ordered this one before I even need to replace my current one. My biggest complaint, and the reason I took off one star, is because Microsoft keyboards are notorious for the letters wearing off quickly. I'm also sad that they did away with the zoom button that was in the open split area. But overall it is a very comfortable (for me) keyboard and works just fine.

Ease of touch, illuminatd keyboard and typing enhanced design. Over-all highly functionable, with attractive, smart design.

Fortunately I was able to find a new device in a sealed factory carton. These are no longer being made. And it was on sale.

Very smooth and updated from prior version. Works great for me. So glad the price dropped also when i needed to replace my old one.

I love this key board but the space key is not working, is not broken but its hard when i push it down, it’s clean.. any suggestions on what to do?

bought this to replace my old ergo keyboard when the keys started popping off. it's pretty good but my only one had audio pause/stop key functions that i really miss on this one.

I love the feel of this keyboard. It did take a day or two to adjust to it, but it is a great purchase once the adjustment is made.

This keyboard is a great value for the price. The keys are a little clunky, but I’m no longer experiencing nerve pain, so it has accomplished what I needed it to!

Comfortable and easy to type on. Keys aren't crowded. I was happy to find this one because it matches the one I have at work.

I've been recently having carpal tunnel related pain, and while I do have wrist braces to help alleviate that pain, this keyboard worked wonders in helping to almost completely cut down on the pain altogether. The split section of the keyboard did throw me off a little at first, as my stupid touch typing self usually used my left hand to hit the Y key, but it was simple enough to relearn how to properly type again. As for the key press sounds, it's fairly quiet. All in all, this keyboard is amazing, and I fully intend to use it until it breaks down completely.

Very comfortable and set up is easy. Has a soft front for the wrists and is ergonomically correct for your hands during typing.

I've been using MS Ergo keyboards for years. This need edition holds up great. It is different than prior models - the controls in the middle of the palm rest are gone (Scroll Up/Down and lights). The keys up top are a different style, but overall very easy to get used to. Also, the key "action" is a little softer, but I don't mind. Standard keyboards make me catch cramps after an hour or so of coding. Also, on sale at the time I bought it - makes it a very good deal!

How many times does your palm or finger inadvertently land on the alt or control keys? I dunno, because it doesn’t cause any problems when you do. But this keyboard has a button right next to those that breaks you out of any other app and tries to open office 365, or since I don’t own that product, it is pretty much an advertisement for office 365. It would be one thing if the button was up on the top header row above the fn keys or something, but it’s right in the middle of where your fingers always are. Absolutely horrible to use. Will never buy a MS kb again while they have that button right there.

It works great. The keyboard tension is good; easy to use. More comfortable to use than the traditional rectangular keyboards and the laptop keyboard.

Comfortable keyboard for long periods of typing. Natural angles for hands and forearms. Reduces stress on wrists. Not bluetooth. Needs USB.

The heal pad is the perfect softness/firmness for comfortable all day typing. I do have to get used to the Function keys being so close and not separated by space. A very minor issue. The elevated attachment was easy to install and it's quite comfortable. I have an older MS keyboard it this one is comparable. The Caps Lock key lights up with is a plus compared to an older wireless board. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable wired inexpensive keyboard.

This is the third Microsoft ergonomic keyboard i've owned. The only reason I've replaced the ones before it was because I'd worn the letters off and the rest of the family couldn't use it. These are well built and long lasting, Each one I've owned for several years before retiring it. I have owned other brand ergos in the past that did not have the staying power or longevity I've gotten from the Microsoft branded Ergo keyboards.

In trying to find a replacement for the wonderful previous version of the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard that has been discontinued, I decided to try this...and I don't like it. It's somewhat comparable but smaller. The keys are soft touch, which I don't care for, rather than the "noisier" keys of the older style. The caps lock light has been moved from the middle bottom of the Microsoft 4000 to the left side of the keyboard, hidden by your hand. The smaller format of the keyboard will take a little time for your muscle memory to adjust to. The worst part is that the back (top) of the keyboard no longer has the little feet to tilt it up. It can sit flat or tilted away from you. That's not working for me ergonomically. It's painful, at least for me. Overall, it's aesthetically a nice board but I don't like it and won't use it for anything other than a back-up, and my search continues. I have no idea why Microsoft discontinued the old professional ergonomic keyboard but I'm definitely not happy about it. I'm a 20+ year professional transcriptionist and that was the perfect board for me. This new version is a big disappointment.

Using this now to type the review. Classic ergo design, comfortable and easy to 'clean'. Elevated wrist support is most beneficial.
