[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a person with a desk job comfort at my computer is essential. Connecting the keyboard to use with my computer was a breeze. The spacing of the keys was easy to adjust to and helped my wrists sit more naturally while typing. There are handy tabs on the back of the keyboard for height and tilt adjustments. I’m still getting used to the page scroll roller in the middle and will need to practice with that a little longer. All in all a decent slim ergo keyboard that was simple to set up and use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this keyboard gets the job done. It’s definitely quieter than others I’ve used—though not entirely silent. One drawback is that it isn’t rechargeable which is a bit of a letdown since many keyboards these days are. I also needed to buy a separate adapter to make the USB connector compatible with my Mac but setup was still a breeze. I did appreciate the adjustable tabs for changing the keyboard angle—nice touch! As for the scroll wheel in the middle I found it unnecessary since I rely on my mouse for scrolling though it might be handy for others.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The keyboard looks cool and I do like that it is wireless. It did come with the batteries needed to power the keyboard I'm not sure how long those will last yet. It also has nice wrist support. This keyboard takes a lot of getting used to. My hands don't instinctively go to the home row like they do on the keyboards I'm used to. This causes errors in my typing which I then have to erase go back and start again. The Num Lock also doesn't seem to stay on and I'm regularly turning it back on. I usually type with my two hands but sometimes I have to type with one hand and it was very difficult with this keyboard. I'm going to keep using it to see if I can get used to it a little more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Working mostly from a home office this keyboard was a great addition to my working set-up. The keyboard was extremely easy to set up and is very quiet as well. I have been using this keyboard for about a week and I find it pretty comfortable to use. I am still getting used to the design of the keys being split up into two sections but feel with more time I will get used to it. One thing I will mention is that this keyboard is pretty bulky and you will need to designate a lot of space for it. Having a home office with a fairly large desk this is not a deal breaker but it does take up a significant portion of my desk.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never used an ergonomic keyboard before so it took me a sec to get used to it. But as a programmer it made a huge difference in my work life. Having the convenient scroll in the middle made moving through code super easy. The double space bar is also a huge plus I didn’t know I needed. Now I wouldn’t recommend it for gaming because it was very difficult to manage the layout but for typing-style jobs it’s a game changer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this keyboard is a good addition to a workstation. I really liked the ease and simplicity of set-up. The keys are split into 2 halves which allow your hands to rest at a 45 degree angle while you type. And the typing is so quiet. I think this might be my favorite feature. I also like that it is not wired which means I can move it out of the way when I need to take notes or write things down. However I don't think I would use this as my primary keyboard. I prefer the waterfall-type feature of the old Microsoft ergonomic keyboard (sadly no longer made) which allows your fingers to fall forward. Even with the kick-stands open I find my wrists angled up enough that I cannot type on this for long. If I was to find a desk that was lower and allowed the keyboard to sit slightly lower than my elbows I think this keyboard would be more ergonomic and user-friendly. I have included photos of the keyboard with and without the kick stands open and you can tell there is not much difference. Overall I really like this keyboard and I will definitely be using it periodically but I plan to use my other ergonomic keyboard as my primary one for now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The keyboard was super easy to use I think its super simple keys are bold enough and the keyboard is comfortable enough. I do however this its a little too long which could make it hard to put on those desks that aren't too long or wide. Great noise on the typing doesn't make too loud of sound when typing which is the plus. The keyboard was great and used in my home office but I did run into the issue of it being a little too wide to keep on the desk. However its a great keyboard and if you have the space for it don't hesitate buy it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the slanted middle of the keyboard as it seems to naturally allow for a comfortable resting spot for the hands/wrists when using standard type positioning of the digits. It's overall quite comfortable to use but some keys are a bit out of place compared to what I have been using currently. The scroll function is a bit difficult to get used to. It was very easy to set up. I just plugged in the batteries put the USB in turned on the power and started typing. I actually like keyboards that have a nice noise factor to them. While this is certainly quiet compared to most keyboards it still has a satisfying click and clack compared to similar keyboards indicating themselves as quiet. I used this keyboard at home and at work. I like most that this keyboard can fit comfortably in my lap and I can type efficiently leaning back and sitting further away from my screens.
