Wireless Ergo Keyboard
on September 2, 2024
Posted by: Mandi
from Spring
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this keyboard but there were a few problems I could not get passed. I did like that it was lightweight and was very easy to set up. I also liked that it had the low battery indicator light. I often need to work in different places so it makes it easier to avoid a dead battery with no way to change them. The wireless connectivity was very reliable. I moved the keyboard around often while using it and it never lost connection. However I really did not like the center scroll wheel. It was not intuitive for me and I could not get used to it being in the middle of the keyboard. Even though I did not need any extra wrist support the position of the keys around the scroll wheel was not comfortable. I also felt that it was too bulky to make sense for me to take with me sometimes. I would have loved if it was slimmer and could fit in my computer bag.

A great upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t really ever consider the need for an ergonomic keyboard before but this has been a great upgrade from my basic flat keyboard. It has made a big difference in the comfortability of my typing by raising my wrists. I like the option to use the legs underneath for more of a lift. I had never used a keyboard with a center scroll wheel before but it is a useful feature when reading a document. Overall this was a successful upgrade.

Keyboard did not work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Wireless Ergo Keyboard is fairly large but I was able to use the feet on the underside of the keyboard to gain an inch or two of space on my very small desk. I was surprised by the design with the scroll bar in the middle and separation of the keys. I don't use all of my fingers to type so it definitely took some getting used to but the scroll bar was nice so I didn't have to use the mouse as much as I liked that the space bar was on both sides. My favorite part of the keyboard was the wrist rest a few inches of space below the keyboard where I could rest my wrists so my hands didn't go numb from pressure on the arteries which happens to me with regular keyboards.

Cool but not for me

from Cerritos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who is WFH I am constantly looking for new tech to make my workflow more efficient. I am definitely more comfortable using a more traditional keyboard but think this design is pretty cool. I tend to use my keyboard for shortcuts along with a digital drawing pad so the split design is a bit uncomfortable. It was easy to setup and I like the wireless but maybe this keyboard is better for someone who needs to type all day.

Unsure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of this wireless keyboard is clean but fairly generic. It’s all made out of the same hard plastic material. I would have liked some more comfort features such as slip resistant or padding for my wrists. I’ve never used an ergonomic keyboard before and it took quite a bit of time to get the hang out it. It slowed down my typing speed a lot just trying to adjust to the spacing of the letters and being and at angle. I use a mouse so much for the work that I do that using the scroll wheel wasn’t really a feature I needed. It would segment my production in a way that doesn’t make sense. I could see how this keyboard would become more comfortable over time and if it were the only keyboard you used for work. I travel with my laptop often and would have to go back to a traditional keyboard regularly it took me a while to get comfortable with the ergonomic design.

Small learning curve but remarkably quiet
on September 2, 2024

from Mechanicsburg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who spends a majority of their day at a computer I'm am impressed with this keyboard! The keys are remarkably quiet when pressed which means I'm able to easily (and quietly) take notes while on calls without having to go on mute. The ergonomic structure of the keyboard did take a little while to get use to as your wrist lay in a slightly different position compared to a standard keyboard. I noticed that I had more typos and was a bit slower at typing for the first week but after that I was able to adapt to new layout and have noticed my wrist don't hurt as much at the end of a long work day. The center scroll wheel is a nice feature that allows you to scroll through documents and web pages without leaving the keyboard but I still find myself defaulting to my mouse. Setup was a breeze and I love that the keyboard is wireless. Overall it takes 1-2 weeks to adapt to the ergonomic structure of the keyboard but the quietness lack of wires and decrease wrist pain definitely makes it a worthwhile purchase!

Interesting layout that falls short
on September 2, 2024
Posted by: H.A.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Comes with batteries wrists feel good on the keyboard easily connects to new computers Cons: Muscle memory is lost. Can't recharge or plug in the keyboard Have to move off of my home keys to make use of the middle scroll wheel. When I first opened up the package I thought the keyboard was larger than expected for a wireless keyboard but I liked how the keys look. Initial use of the keyboard was very clunky. I have to look at the keys to type anything without making a ton of typos. The center scroll wheel is interesting however it causes me to lose my place on the keys every time I use it and I still need the mouse to click other places. I don't currently have a use for just changing the scroll position. My favorite thing about the keyboard is how easy it was to get started with.

Wireless Ergo Keyboard
on September 1, 2024
Posted by: Jean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was extremely easy and hassle free. It took a little while to adjust to the keyboard layout but once you become familiar this product really has some fantastic benefits. Wireless connectivity allows you to move the keyboard around without having to worry about being connected physically. The low battery indicator light allows you to know when to replace the batteries. The battery compartment has a place to store the usb receiver. The keyboard could have been slimmer and less bulky as it limited where it could be placed. If you do not have a lot of desk room you may not be completely satisfied with the product however the center wheel design definitely adds to the bonus of the product. It allows you to move seamlessly through your document or webpage without having to revert back to a mouse or having to use your arrow keys. The keyboard has all your needs literally at your fingertips which is really convenient for someone who is on their computer all the time. The split spacebar is another nice feature. Finally I have to say this keyboard eliminates the need for any additional wrist rest supports you may need. Also there are 3 collapsible raisers at the bottom edge of the keyboard which was really nice as it adjusted the height of the keyboard off the surface even though I found it more comfortable to not have them lifting the keyboard off the table. Overall this product is will receive 4 stars out of 5. Would be nice if the keyboard was backlit or came in a variety of colors.
