Customer Ratings & Reviews

The natural keyboards design is easy on the wrists. This was purchased for a home office. I have a 20 yr old version that still works great.

Works perfectly. The only complaint I would have is that it can be tilted up from the bottom but not the top.

Plug and play, very nice on the hands. Wish it had some form of lights on the keys, only reason it’s 4 stars(hard to see at night)

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.

I upgraded from an older MS ergonomic keyboard and there are a few differences which are not necessarily bad: The keys are a lot softer in surface texture, resistance when pressed and noise. There is no scroll or back/forward buttons in the center gap. I never used them. There are bonus keys to do extra functions. I have not used them so far. There is a backspace key above the delete key, I keep hitting the wrong one. It is a fine replacement if you used MS natural keyboards in the past.

This little keyboard is so darn user-friendly. Had a Logitech go bad, and will not buy another because of the lousy warranty treatment. Bought this while waiting for the replacement for the bad one that might or might not ever show up. This is a far better keyboard, albeit a wired one. This keyboard works for typists, not just hunt-and-peck folks. Love the darn thing. And probably will be much easier to clean that the "upscale" Logi 860 that didn't last a year.

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

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.

Comfortable, light weight yet sturdy. Recommend it to everyone! Wish I got it sooner Helps my carpel tunnel so much

A very good and comfortable keyboard, but is is not fully on par with the MS 4000 Ergonomic keyboard. This keyboard performs well, but transition to it will not be immediate and takes a bit of time to adapt to differnt key placement and alignment. Also, the contect key is on the left just to the left of the Windows key, with the old location having been taken over by the office and emoji keys.

I got this keyboard because I'm working from home and my work tablet keyboard is too small, causing me to position my wrist awkwardly which was uncomfortable. With this keyboard my wrist is straight and relaxed, and together with the wrist rest, makes it very comfortable to type, as compared to a regular keyboard. It also doesn't hurt with the added shortcut keys to get the certain apps easier and faster. Of course it takes some time to adjust to this configuration, but to me it IS worth it in the long run.

I can't go back to regular keyboard layouts now that I've adjusted. The next upgrade I'll make is to Microsoft's wireless Sculpt keyboard with detachable keypad to better suit my ergonomic needs however this is the perfect step for those who use Microsoft Office products as well as using Windows as their primary OS as it has plenty of extra functionality built into it including slots for your top three taskbar shortcuts, search, calculator, and snipping tools to name a few.

Time will only tell - I desperately needed a new ergonomic keyboard. The price was right, the consumer reviews were mixed at best. Would have ordered a Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard but for some reason they stopped making it. It's a Christmas present so cannot attest to the quality of the keyboard. Best Buy came through again, good price, great shipping. I'm saying the quality is excellent but at this point I really do not know.

I have owned a version of this keyboard for the last 12 years. I will NEVER NOT have an ergo keyboard. I sit at a computer roughly 10 hours a day programming and blogging. This is a default purchase for both work and home. Comfortable and keeps my hands at a good angle. Some people think these look and feel weird, but you get used to it and it feels so much better than a regular keyboard. One other great feature is that this keyboard is not a super-clickety-click keyboard, so you will not bother others while you are typing.

Smooth and easy to type on. I liked the prevous model, but this was definitely a step up

My wrists were starting to suffer when I began working more from home, so I looked into an ergonomic keyboard for PC. Didn’t see great things about the Ergonomic Surface Keyboard - mostly about connection issues - so this seemed like the best alternative. The wired connection solves that instantly. I wasn’t sure what to think about the Office and Emoji keys, but turns out you can download a Microsoft app to customize those keys, so I was all set after that. After a little practice, I love typing on this thing!

I purchased this keyboard for a friend for her birthday, and she LOVES it. I'm completely happy with my choice.

This keyboard is great; it isn't lit like my old Alienware one, yet I really like ergonomic and am happy with it. I've had it almost a year and it now has some wear spots on the keys and space bar (yet still works great: no sticky keys, etc...). The wrist pad can sometimes get grimy and dirty: I use rubbing alcohol pads (the ones sold for diabetics) and they clean up this keyboard perfectly. No regrets. Just put the "good" rating since the wear spots started showing up just after a month and a half of use.

Good keyboard but i wish it had the mount in the back and not the front under my wrists. It hurts my writs there

Sturdy, well designed and reasonably priced! I was so happy to be able to pick one up quickly in store with out any issues.
