Some nice features for a basic ergo keyboard
on November 2, 2024
Posted by: T.S.
from San Jose
[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.

Weirdly cool

[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.

Soft and comfy ergo keyboard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been enjoying using the Staples ergo keyboard since the moment I plugged it into my laptop! The set-up was a breeze - plug and play! The keyboard has a split design but it’s not as pronounced as in some other keyboards I’ve used so it would be great for someone just starting with this type of keyboard. The keys are super soft and quiet- no one will know during virtual meetings if you are multitasking and typing! :) I work full time from home and this keyboard was a great additional to my ergo setup!

Solid ergo keyboard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not new to the ergo keyboards I have been using another brand for a few years. It did take me a few days still to get used to it as there is still a difference. It is a quieter keyboard than my other which is helpful for remote work and not hearing the typing as much through the call. I like the battery indicator. It has a scroll wheel on it which I did not use very much because my mouse has one. I feel like most mouses have one so I’m not sure the purpose on the keyboard. I wish there was a lock button. My other keyboard has a lock key to lock my desktop. Would also be nice if the arm rest was padded. I don’t know if it was a setting but when I did some of the ctrl short cut with the number pad it kept routing me out of the system I was working on which was really annoying. I’m not completely sold on it but it’s a solid choice for those wanting to try it out ergo and not spend a lot.

Comfy and Easy to Use

from Germantown
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started using this ergonomics keyboard after seeing a coworker using one. I was a little hesitant about it but I’m so glad I decided to use this! It took me a day or two to get used to the split down the middle of the keys but now I’m back to my fast typing. The space below the keys is also helpful for keeping my wrists in a relaxed comfortable position instead of in an awkward angle. I use a number pad frequently so I’m glad this keyboard includes one. I love this and recommend it to my coworkers frequently.

Sleek and ergonomic keyboard

from Saint Paul
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using this keyboard so far. It’s much different than what I have used in the past and the ergonomic design is really comfortable. I especially like the double space bar. It has taken some getting used to but this is a definite upgrade from the standard keyboard I had been using. It feels really nice when typing and I can tell it is a high quality by the feel of it. It also has some additional features like the scroll which I haven’t used too much but it’s nice to have once I get used to it more.

Great budget Ergonomic Keyboard
on September 4, 2024
Posted by: A.G.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For context I've used strictly ergonomic keyboards for the past ~20 years. My experience with them have ranged from $30 office type basics to the ~$100 medium range standards. I've never used the more wild or high end ones. Overall this keyboard feels like a solid entry into the budget friendly market and for under $50 I would recommend this to others. A few things come to mind that could be improved though. My initial gut reaction was a little unpleasant. With typical keyboards and ergonomic keyboards the bottom row of letters is a little offset so that the keys sit just left of center of the keys above them. With this keyboard however the left set of bottom row keys directly below the row above it. (see image) This was my initial biggest gripe but within a couple weeks of use my fingers have adjusted just fine and it's no longer even noticeable except when I come back from using my laptop for an extended period of time. They key response is very soft and because of that I think the key travel is a bit too far for my liking. This keyboard feels a bit mushy for lack of better words. That said it's as fine or better than some other common ergonomic keyboards you might find in this price range. The keyboard comes with a scroll wheel in the center which feels like a nice option but frankly I've not once used it. By default or habit I'd probably just use the mouse instead. I've seen a lot of keyboards try to fill the space with things just because the gap feels like wasted space but frankly I want my keyboard to be a keyboard. You don't have to fill the space. Or at least fill it with something more useful that's not typically on an input device like a "lock screen" button monitor brightness controls or similar. I also would've loved a bluetooth option. USB outlets are prime real estate these days on an all-in-one desktop. The ergonomic layout palm rest and overall feel has been perfectly fine to use. If you need an economic ergonomic keyboard I would definitely consider choosing this.
