Sculpt Comfort Keyboard

I really like this keyboard. I work in web design and use it all day at the office, and I'm actually considering buying a second one for my home computer--and I rarely buy the same product twice. The keys feel really nice when typing. The battery has already lasted months. It's wireless, but I haven't had any issues with lag. And the shape is super sleek--it feels nice to use without sacrificing style, unlike a lot of the clunkier ergonomic keyboards out there.The only thing that's a little funky is, they switched out the "Fn" function key for a mechanical switch at the top right. So when you want to go between default keyboard functions and Windows functions in the top row, it can be a little awkward. So for example, Print Screen is on one setting and F5 (refresh) is on another, so I have to toggle between them to get the right keys. If you're not refreshing browser windows for a living like I am, you probably won't have any issues.All in all, this keyboard is very high-quality for the absurdly reasonable price. I think it's because it's not the latest model, but this is a keyboard not a car, so who cares? Get it!

First thing is the style, the keyboard is slim and sexy nonetheless.After utilizing the keyboard in the office, after a few days of use, my hands and wrists are more comfortable, and less soar. I sit at a 90degree desk, so this is especially helpful. The wrist-pad was annoying at first, but you get used to it quickly and learn to love it.I want to point out that the keys are not in their exact traditional places. The top row is more spread out, as well as the bottom row, and also the Ctrl, WinKey, and Alt keys. This makes doing Ctrl+C, X, Z, etc shortcuts a bit difficult at first, but again, you quickly get used to it and seems to be more comfortable after some use.If you're hesitant in learning to hold your hands a little differently, and having to change a bit how/where you hit the keys, then you may not want to invest in this keyboard. But in my opinion, it's worth the little bit of change.The keyboard keys are pretty quiet, and soft and easy to press. They feel a little plastic-ey sometimes, but better than most keyboards I have tried.I noticed for some reason at first days use on and off, the key input was sometimes delayed, like those old Macintosh computers from the 90s, but maybe it just had to sync or learn somehow, as I haven't seen it happen again since. Or maybe something interfering with the USB RF receiver?All in all for the $60 msrp it is by far my new favorite keyboard. I just purcahsed another one for home use as well. Ford Cars Chevy Trucks, Microsoft Keyboards Logitech Mice (matter of opinion).Notice how I didn't mention the extra backspace key? Because I think it's utterly useless. Learn how to type better vs. having an easier way to backspace even more conveniently. I don't and won't use it. Cool idea though Microsoft. Some people might enjoy it I guess.

First, let me start out by saying that my wrists are very picky about what keyboard to use. Prior to this I used the Microsoft Natural (split keys) and Logitech Wave keyboards. Each had their issues, but they were the only ones that didn't hurt me. The reason for dumping each of those keyboards was that the key action over time degraded to a point where numerous keys became sticky.So far, the Sculpt keyboard works for me in my two primary concerns for a keyboard: comfort and key action. There are feet on the front edge of the keyboard that can be deployed so that the keyboard will tilt slightly away from you - all keyboards should have this. The palm rest is a good size and is just the right firmness. I'm not a huge fan of how the keys are shaped (the overall curve of the keyboard), but after a few weeks of use, still no wrist problems.Even though the keyboard does not have mechanical switches, the key action is good for me. The keys are light, responsive, and quiet. There are full size arrow keys and the "Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn" keys are laid out in a reasonable manner.Problems--------- The Space/Backspace key is a neat idea, but in practice, it was just too hard to get used to. I switched it back to a normal space key (even though I almost never use it).- I would have preferred larger Function keys. Having a tiny F5 key is not great considering I am a programmer- There is a mechanical switch that engages the Function keys' secondary function. Since I almost never use the secondary functions, it's not a huge problem for me, but it is annoying when I have to.So the keyboard is not perfect, but at this price it wins on my 2 key points: comfort and key action. Also, there was a minimal learning curve moving from the Logitech Wave to this keyboard.
