Customer Ratings & Reviews

I know people that use this keep board for the first time get freaked out, and give up on it after a few minutes. But trust me, just force ourself to use it everyday for just 7 days. Then, try to go back to a regular keyboard and then you'll see the clear difference and wonder why you never used this keyboard sooner. Want to prevent tendinitis and other types of soars and aches in your hands? Try this keyboard.

the ergonomic design of this keyboard has help reduce stress and pain of carpal tunnel in my wrists. the scroll tab in the middle of the keyboard is so useful, as well as the various programmable buttons situated around the keyboard within easy reach. I'm am beyond pleased with this purchase and have had numerous colleagues asking where I'd gotten it.

This is now my second one of these keyboards and I love them. Having access to your favorite programs or web pages at the push a a button is great. As a casual gamers the layout is great to and my hands don't cramp up from the angle of the board and keys. I've moved quite a few times and the only thing that died on the last one I had was the USB cord. I wrapped it too tight too many times and broke a conductor otherwise this board is solid. Love it.

Had been quote some time since I had a ergo split keyboard. Had been getting some neck and shoulder pain at work and decided to give this a go. I had forgotten how much more comfortable it is to use one of these, particularly when you work at a computer ALL day. The extra programmable shortcut buttons are a nice bonus. Would highly recommend this.

This keyboard is very comfortable and easy to use. Compared to many of the other ergonomic keyboards out there it is very reasonable in price as well. I would definitely look at buying this model again. The only downside to it that is that the 6 key is on the left half. When doing programming or things that require the use of a lot of numbers I am used to using my right hand for 6 through 0. Now I have to remember to use my left hand.

Excellent ergonomic keyboard, helps eliminate unnecessary key travel, good angle and support at the wrists. Pairs well with an ergonomic char that has adjustable armrests. It can be tough initially to make the switch, but if you stick with it you'll find it very comfortable. Would likely be good for MMO gamers doing repititive tasks, but FPS gamers should probably look for a less pronounced ergonomic keyboard as speed takes precedence over comfort. Excellent business applications as well, should help reduce wrist stress for employees. Spreadsheet warriors and data analysts would also benefit from the added support and optimal key travel for repetitive tasks. On a personal note I've been using these keyboards for years and MS constantly makes small improvement updates without messing with the winning formula. Have one home at home and in the office and will likely be using these keyboards for a long time coming.

The keyboard is ergonomic and has rich functionality. It contains five programmable buttons on the top that can be configured to open programs that are used often. The twelve functional keys double up as keys for frequently used actions in Microsoft Office, email and other software. Take the time to learn all the built-in functionality of this keyboard and you will be saving a lot of time in performing routine operations.

It arrived the day after I ordered it! Nice looking and very comfortable. A little large, but that makes it easy to use. Only disappointment is it came with no instruction book or CD, probably because it was an open box purchase. I haven't been able to download one because my computer doesn't support Microsoft. But that's not the fault of the keyboard. Just can't make use of all the special key features. But overall I love it.

I got this keyboard for my at home transcribing job, and I am SO glad I did! I had used this keyboard at work, where it had taken a little bit of adjusting from a standard flat keyboard, but now I love it. I don't have pain in my arms, which has been a problem in the past as a piano player and with typing for school, so I'd definitely recommend this for anyone who needs to type a lot and doesn't want to feel pain.

I needed a new ergonomic keyboard for my new computer as the old keyboard didn't connect via a USB port. This was one of the two available in the store and looked closest to my old one (also Microsoft brand).I thought it would feel odd being that the keyboard is a bit raised up, but the wrist pads are very comfortable and it's probably even nicer than the old one. If you like an ergonomic keyboard I would recommend this one.

Outstanding ergonomics. Easy to use. Integrated wrist-rest remains soft and comfy after years of use. Absolutely the best, most comfortable keyboard I've ever used. Fantastic comfort even after long hours of use. Negative-pitched incline reduces stress on wrists. Soft and quiet!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this keyboard to use at work. I am a claims intake advisor for a large trucking company and the company supplied keyboards for our at-work computers are not the best. One of my co-workers has one and she let me use it on her day off and I was hooked. My writs don't hurt any longer and I can spend as much time as I need to on the keyboard with no issues. Bottom line.....YES I would recommend this to a friend!!

overall, this is a great product for the price. ergonomic, feels great to type on this and that's the main point. also has some nice programmable keys. one issue with the software, though is that it does not play well with other drivers, namely it kicked off my Synapse Mamba mouse and I had to figure out that uninstalling and reinstalling the Synapse driver software would fix that problem. other than that, the keyboard is a great piece of hardware.

For ergonomics and price this keyboard cant be beat!

As I am still getting used to this ergonomic style keyboard, I have found that my wrist and fingers are not as fatigued as when using a standard keyboard. The keys are soft click style and the wrist padding is a plus.

I recommend measuring your key board tray before purchasing this product. This key board takes up 100% of my key board tray. I could see it not fitting on all key board trays. Also, it has an add on that makes the key board 2 inches high which could also cause problems with a key board tray. I would have liked to have been able to take off the front padding due to size of overall key board.

This is the best most ergonomically correct Microsoft keyboard I've used to date. With the addition of macro and shortcut keys and controls, it sports some added convenience as well. These work good as set up- for things like zooming and web page navigation, or can be customized by the user to execute short macros. The latter is a huge benefit for those performing highly repetitive tasks- and these sorts of things are exactly what is to be avoided for the health of any user, so it also falls right in line with the purpose of an economic device. (E.g., repetitive stress injury.) I have chosen to leave the base attached, which properly positions the wrists at a forward and downward angle, but can be removed for those who may appreciate a less aggressive approach to ergonomics, and less apparent and impactful difference between normal keyboards and these types. I would say this, however: while I highly recommend these to people who know how to type the right way (not "hunt and peck") an ergonomic makes it more difficult to do work if you have to actually look at the keys to find your characters- because of its high stance. Removing the base or typing at the correct keyboard-to-user height may alleviate this issue significantly. While it does take some time to get used to, a professional or power user may actually see an increase in their WPM rate (characters per minute... I am an old guy who learned on a typewriter so.. lol) The only concern I have is for the longevity of the wrist pad. This type of material, in my experience, does wear and deteriorate over time. But I expect, even with this, to get no less than 5 years of daily work out of this keyboard. The pads may be replaceable, and they may be more durable than I expect, for sure. This is really just a stretch almost looking for a problem for the sake of that... but so that you know it will be less durable in this area.

nice rest , good layout of keys, plugged it in worked from the start

Keyboard took a short time to get used to. Better comfort than just a plain keyboard. More functions on this keyboard than what I need but I like it none the less. Soft keys. Curved keyboard allows better alignment for hands and you don't get the kinks in your hands from typing so much. Would highly recommend.

Hands rest at a natural position,easy set up and works with tablet.
