As a long time user and owner (since 2003) of the Ergonomic 4000 keyboard by Microsoft, I decided it was time for an upgrade at work. (New job...needed an ergo keyboard anyway) I was ordering a 4000 when I stumbled across this pretty thing. After finding hardly any major reviews on it, I took a leap and ordered it. The difference between this keyboard and its much older brother is substantial. Several features are different: specifically the location of the 10 key and the wireless capabilities. I find the keyboard to be just a touch smaller than the 4000. Most of the major keys dont feel that way, but some areas--specifically around the arrows--feel much more cramped. The Delete key and its brothers being out of the rows they have been assigned for ages causes me to have to hunt for them like a beginner again. Which is a little unfortunate.I actually like the 10 key being removed it allows my mouse to be much closer and therefore more economical--that is until I need it and I wish it was attached. (I do alot of finance work, so Im still up in the air about it being loseable). FN switch is a nice addition, instead of a light on or off, while undoing when you meant to rename, that feature has been switched to a toggle that keeps its setting. Most of the isolated media keys, zoom, home key, search etc. are gone. I like the action the keys have. It is a shorter stroke that makes the keyboard a little nicer to type on. It does take some getting used to however. The keyboard pad feels nicer than the 4000. More firm...but it is coated in something that absolutely loves dust, dirt, and crumbs. The piano black is an unfortunate choice it ultimately makes it look cheap while feeling very well built. I honestly think they could of left the layout alone and it would of been fine. I like this reboot, I just wish it had a full size version of it without the piano black choice. EDIT: 8/15/16 After several months of use, Im disappointed with the rubber that acts as a wrist pad for this keyboard. It is easily stained by your hand oils, so this keyboard looks like it is MUCH older than it actually is. I like the design of this keyboard, and I still feel that is an improved version of the 4000, but be warned, after little use, it wont look as pleasant as you would expect.

Install Flash Player I thought I would love this keyboard after messing with it in Best Buy. The action of the keys feels really nice -- you can type super fast on this thing. It is also very modern and clean looking. The detachable number pad seems pointless. I guess its nice if you dont want to use it at all and need to free up space, or perhaps if you are an accountant, but otherwise it just feels like one more piece of something to move around and keep managed on your desk. I have read a complaint from an actual number cruncher so I wouldnt count on the latter. The biggest glaring flaw is the function keys. I am used to having multimedia keys on my keyboard. This keyboard has special function keys, but you have to toggle a switch every time you use them. SUPER ANNOYING. This alone (potentially) ruins this keyboard. The function keys are also very small. Some smart guy somewhere decided there shouldnt be a function key on this keyboard. Instead they put worthless keys (like a context menu button). It has been years and I dont see Microsoft ever resolving it. As a programmer your day looks something like this: Press F5 to refresh page, etc. Oh... I want to pause my music... Find tiny toggle switch... switch over... Press special function key to pause music Switch the tiny switch back so function keys can behave normally.... later on... need to play music again... hmmm is the key switched on or off (I cant remember where I left the toggle)?... let me look.. cant tell from the tiny switch.. guess I will press a key and see... oh I guess its toggled... oops... repeat cycle all day .... Imagine if every time you wanted to use your shift key for instance, you have to toggle a switch of pressing a key. Then you had to toggle the switch again to turn shift off... Thats basically what this is like. At least if they were gonna make it so freaking annoying, they could have use a button to toggle instead of a tiny switch. If you dont ever play music, youtube, facebook videos, etc., on your computer, then maybe you will love this thing. UPDATE: So here is a solution for those who want to hold on to this thing but really need the multimedia buttons to be easily accessible: 1) Go and download autohotkey. I did some research and this program is open source and seems safe. It also have decent community on stack overflow, but feel free to do your own research. Create the following script: <#F11:: Send {Volume_Down} return <#F12:: Send {Volume_Up} return <#F9:: Send {Media_Play_Pause} return <#F10:: Send {Volume_Mute} return This will basically map the Windows Key to serve a function key. I only updated the multimedia buttons, but feel free to check our their docs to alter the other buttons.

What I like about it: It feels good to type on it. Very comfortable, even if it looks a little weird. The separate number pad is nice too, since I rarely use it, but when I do the rest of the keyboard tends to be superfluous. The key action is smooth and quiet; the unit is light, but stays steady under my hands. It also looks cool. What I dont like about it: The communication with the dongle is for the birds. Ive never experienced a wireless device (and Ive had quite a few) that would hesitate and malfunction the way this one does. If I dont type a key for 5 seconds, the dongle apparently shuts off. I wouldnt have a problem with that if it werent for the fact that when it turns back on, it at least remembered the first character you typed; it doesnt though, so I have to constantly backspace to add the first character I typed back into my typing; its a very jarring experience. Additionally, some times when I "wake it up", it goes crazy, and starts auto-repeating characters across my screen. What the heck? Also, Ill be in the middle of typing and the dongle will just... stop. The only way to get it to work again is by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Infuriating. Ive read on the internet how to disable the power-save feature, but that does not seem to solve the problem. Ill be looking for a new keyboard now.

Im an IT Professional with 20 years experience, and Ive been using ergonomic keyboards with my Macs for all 20. I started with the Adesso Tru-Form, then several models of Microsoft Natural keyboards, and Ive now owned 3 of these Sculpt keyboards. Im shopping for a 4th keyboard in 2 years and Im sad to be going back to the old 4000 model. Sad because, when its working, this is a lovely keyboard to type on. I like the short travel, and Im able to comfortably type 100+wpm, sometimes for most of the day, with minimal fatigue. Its fairly quiet and it looks cool on my desk. Unfortunately, there are several unforgivable flaws with this otherwise perfect keyboard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problems with the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard: (in order of grievance severity) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - USB Dongle Trouble pt1: The little USB wireless receiver is permanently paired to the keyboard at the factory and not replaceable. When I got my laptop stolen (with the dongle in the port), it added insult to injury that my brand new keyboard that the thieves didnt take was (as confirmed by Microsoft) at best a doorstop or a toy for my toddler to bang on. - Layout Trouble pt1: The Page Up button was displaced by the much-less-useful Home and End buttons, and even after 2 years of use at home and at the office, Im still not used to it. And similarly... - Layout Trouble pt2: I accidentally hit the Insert key (adjacent to the Enter key) at least 4 times a year, and have to figure out why my text is being deleted as I type. I spent an hour trying to find a way to disable this useless key through terminal commands or 3rd party utilities but was unsuccessful. - USB Dongle Trouble pt2: Minimal reception strength. Ive experienced issues even with the dongle only 3-feet away. I use a USB extension cord to get the dongle as close as possible to the keyboard. - Keyboards dont need to be cordless: My keyboard doesnt ever go anywhere. I can accommodate a sit-stand desk and sliding keyboard tray just fine with a USB extension cable. I dont want another device that can run out of batteries. I want a keyboard that never has connectivity trouble. - Style: The piano-black finish and padded wrist rest are gorgeous... until you start using your keyboard. Its still a beautifully designed keyboard, but it gets dirty easily and the wrist-rest is quickly stained by the oil from your skin. - Theyre not as durable as they used to be. My home Sculpt keyboard is only a year old and has so many weird buggy issues: It sends messed up signals to my computer (lots of beeping), every few minutes it misses input (causing me to wri mesd up sentces) even with fresh batteries and the dongle 6-inches away, and it goes through batteries in 30 days rather than the 90-120 that I used to get. - Pursuing Microsoft warranty support is a nightmare--Its easier just to throw the busted keyboard out and buy a new one. Only this time, Im not buying another Sculpt.

I bought this keyboard due to wrist pain I have been experiencing while typing lately (I spend most of my work day on a keyboard and mouse). My hope was that this keyboard would help alleviate the wrist pain, which it has to an extent. Here is the good and bad with this keyboard: PROS: - This definitely did seem to help with my wrist pain issues, even after just two weeks. - The keyboard is easy and comfortable to use. CONS: - It takes some getting used to, which is to be expected. I am still getting used to it, and maybe my opinion will improve as I gain more experience with it. - The function keys dont depress in the same manner as the other keys, which I dont like. I use a lot of function keys in my daily use, and I just dont like the feel of depressing the ones on here. I like consistency across the keys, and Im not sure why the function keys have a different method than the other keys. They dont really depress as much as click. I like that feeling of knowing that I pressed the key, and I dont get that with the function keys here. If you use the function keys a lot in your work, this could be an issue for you. - In addition, the function keys dont always work unless you press them perfectly in the middle each time. If you press on the end or in a corner (not in the middle) you will get the feel that it was pressed (it will click), but it wont actually register. This probably happens to me about 3 times a day in the average work day. - I frequently wind up inadvertently pressing a combination of keys that activates some short cut, forcing the computer to do something I dont want. Just in typing this review alone I have three times now inadvertently activated a set of keystrokes that opened a new blank tab on my browser and took me to it. Several times a day while typing emails I will inadvertently activate the "select-all" short-cut, and then when I resume my typing after unknowingly doing so it winds up deleting the entire text of the email (thank heavens for "undo"). I think this issue has to do with the placement of shift key, because it always seems to happen when I need to use the shift key to capitalize a letter. The shift and control keys on this keyboard are setup in a little different positioning than my old keyboard, and the control key on this one is quite large (square as opposed to rectangular on my old keyboard). I think I am inadvertently hitting the control key instead of the shift key, and this is what is making my next key stroke, in conjunction with the control key, activate whatever shortcut is associated with that letter. It is very frustrating. I probably inadvertently activate short-cuts twenty times a day. Maybe (hopefully) that will go away as I gain more experience on this keyboard and get more used to it. But I never used to inadvertently activate short-cuts on my old keyboard, so I am a bit concerned. - I only have this keyboard at my office, and from home I type on my laptop. Last night I had to type on my laptop for the first time since getting this keyboard and I found it very difficult. It seems Im currently in a position of not being totally used to this new keyboard yet, but used to it enough that it has screwed up my ability to type effectively on regular keyboards. If you are someone who will have to frequently still use a normal keyboard on a regular basis, you might want to consider that issue before moving in this direction - it could cause some frustration. Overall, I purchased this to relieve my wrist pain, and it has helped with that. I can feel the pain lightly right now as I type this, but I know if I was on a regular keyboard the pain would be 5x worse. Whether I keep using this keyboard or not remains to be seen. It may come down to whether I can accept the cons above in exchange for some wrist pain relief. I will give it a few more weeks, and then make a decision I guess. Ive attached a picture of the shift-control key placement on this keyboard vs. my old so you can see the difference in setup that is causing issues, at least for me.

I loved this product for a few months. Then, unexpectedly, the keys (although they dont actually stick) remain selected and repeat letters indefinitely and I am constantly having to go back and edit my text. For example, if Im am typing "This product sucks," I end up with "Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" until I hit backspace and erase it. It makes using the keyboard an absolute hassle. One other note... I bought a warranty on it through Square Trade. I submitted a claim which was immediately rejected because the device is still under manufacturer warranty. Fine, no biggie. Then I realized ****IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT HOW TO SUBMIT A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH MICROSOFT!**** Finally, I got the following number: Call a toll free number: (800) 642 7676 / TDD/TTY 800 892-5234 (800) 642 7676 / TDD/TTY 800 892-5234 From there I was transferred to the "Supplemental Parts Order Center" at a different number: (800) 360-7561. First, I will get an email from the rep I spoke with. Then I will have to send them my receipt for verification. Next, they email me return shipping instructions. I HAVE TO PAY TO RETURN THE PRODUCT. Once they receive my defective keyboard, they will take another 7-10 days shipping to get the replacement to me. Not sure what Im doing for a keyboard in the meantime but I guess its good that they are honoring the replacement. I will reply back with an update as time progresses.

I purchased this to replace my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000. This keyboard is better than the 7000 in almost every way. Pros: 1) Separating the numeric keypad is great. I can center the keyboard and have my trackpad within easy reach. 2) The key presses feel so much better than the 7000. 3) The front riser attaches via magnets. This is such a nice touch. 4) The battery cover attaches by magnets. 5) The receiver is so tiny. Be careful, you could easily lose it. There is a nice storage area in the battery compartment though. Cons: 1) The biggest issue is the palm rest. Ive only been using the keyboard for a few weeks now and there are permanent discolored areas where my hands rest. I had the 7000 for years and this never happened. 2) The Esc key and Function keys are about 1/3 the size of the regular keys and they can be harder to press, especially the Esc key because of its location. 3) I do find myself missing the separate Function and media keys. You have a flip a switch to change the Function keys to their secondary functions. The bottom line is that for everyday typing this keyboard is far superior to the 4000/7000 models that came before it.

Ill list the highlights first, then get into the descriptive details for keyboard aficionados. PROS: - Size – compact, comparable to MS Elite - Arrow key configuration – standard - Key type – chiclet/laptop - Key noise – quiet, gentle “thunking” sound - Key tactile feedback – firm, satisfying - Key travel – a bit shallower than Elite but more than a Mac keyboard or many newer laptops. It reminds me how laptop keyboards were 10-15 years ago - Ergonomic curve – comparable to MS Elite, but even more comfortable - Detached num pad - Num pad backspace key - *Padded palm rest, feels a bit like suede (see note at end) - No dedicated media keys (there IS a Calculator key)–which I realize would be a con for some - Strong signal / dongle (NOT Bluetooth) - Detachable riser CONS: - Detached num pad - F key split between F6 and F7 - F key hard click - PgUp/PgDn/Insert key configuration UNKOWN: - Battery life First, I want to say how much I *LOVE* the arrow key configuration. I could write a freaking sonnet about how happy this arrow key config makes me! As is, I will just write a thorough review of all the reasons I am very pleased with this keyboard, and the few things I don’t care for much. I was trained to use keyboard shortcuts as a transcriptionist, including shift+arrow and CTRL+shift+arrow to move quickly through text while editing. The tiny diamond config arrow keys of the Elite keyboard have been the biggest problem for me since being trained/forced to work that way. You can’t easily keep the left hand on the CTRL and shift keys and the right hand on the arrows, using 3 fingers to easily arrow L, R, U and D without making a very tight, weird “claw” that gets uncomfortable quickly. I had to switch to the MS 4000, but that was too big–on my desk AND for my petite hands overall–and the keys got harder to push the older it got, which led me to replacing it with the Sculpt. Ive had carpal tunnel syndrome (and surgery) -- and Im educated in ergonomics and proper technique. This keyboard is the best investment Ive made in an ergo keyboard since the MS Elites I bought years ago and which died. I have done a lot of research on ergo keyboards over the past 10 years. I’ve tried a couple different Kinesis boards. I’ve tried the Goldtouch Pro. I’ve used the MS 4000 extensively after the Elites were no longer available at my old employer. I’ve used an Elite at work and at home off and on since 1998 (20 years). It’s been my favorite keyboard, yet it’s so hard to find and expensive, it was tough to need a new ergo keyboard yet again and decide “now what will I do?” Recent research determined there are even fewer truly affordable choices for ACTUAL ergonomic keyboards than there were 10 years ago. There aren’t many under $300, and even fewer under $100. Finding this one under $75 and ending up loving it was pleasantly surpising. Most of the actual ergo boards are mechanical (clicky) keys, which I cannot stand anymore. I used to love how they felt when typing, and the sound didn’t bug me. But when you listen to people talk 8 hours a day for a living, and your employer rates you on how accurately you hear them, you really need to eliminate other noises which can interfere with that–but I digress! My research led me to the MS Sculpt being the closest in size to the MS Elite, and it had the traditional arrow key configuration which was top of my list of “must haves” as I scoured the interwebs for my options. I have been using the Sculpt for a couple months at home for light business and personal use. It is quite solid, which surprised me given its slim profile. Despite its low profile, it still achieves good ergonomic positioning. It has a detachable riser for the front. I hate those things, but I know a lot of people like them. MS was nice enough to give us the option on this, like with the MS 4000. Its keys are flat, WITHOUT sharp edges that so many chiclet keys have these days. They are low profile but sturdy, like a high end laptop used to feel. They feel a little further apart than the MS Elite keys (which I currently have at work again), but I havent actually measured or compared them side by side. Its very slight, though. Not enough to throw me off more than a few seconds as I get acclimated again each time I sit down at it. It’s a nice compromise between the MS Elite and the MS 4000. The only keys I am still getting used to are the Delete, Insert, PgUp, and PgDn keys–and if I wasn’t switching back and forth between the Elite at work and Sculpt at home, I probably wouldn’t still be struggling. Essentially, this keyboard combines the standard arrow configuration of the MS 4000 with the relative size and curvature of the MS Elite, and the key style and feedback of a well-constructed laptop of the late 90s. The membrane switches are stiff enough to give good feedback without requiring pressing too hard. The detached num pad is a bone of contention for some users, and I cant quite decide how I feel about it. Sometimes I like that its detached and I can move it up when I know I wont need it, moving my mouse closer to the keyboard (reduces neck/shoulder/arm fatigue). Sometimes I need to use it, and I can pull it back into position beside the keyboard. But sometimes I forget and grab both ends--like I would my MS Elite--to reposition it, and it doesnt work. It annoys me a bit that I cant pick "it" up because "it" is a "them"... and I have to pull them back toward me. I have a tendency to push them a little bit forward as I work because my work surface at home is a rather slick table. I am going to get an extra-large mouse pad type thing to put under the whole keyboard and mouse. I have one at work under my Elite, and other than when I bump it with my chair or something, it never moves. Given how well the MS Sculpt stays in place on the "slickery" table, I am confident the mat will solve my issues as well as the one at work did with the Elite. So, once I do that, I think my overall feeling about the separate num pad will be that it’s actually more helpful than annoying. One VERY cool positive that this num pad has, which many do not, is the BACKSPACE key at the top right. I freaking LOVE when keyboards have that! It also has a Calculator key to launch that app. It’s the closest thing to a media key this set has. I know a lot of people love media keys, but I loathe them. They’re a waste of space for me. I don’t use them except when I unintentionally bump one. I’m glad this keyboard doesn’t have them. It makes the keyboard more compact, and it keeps me from wasting time closing programs I don’t use. The media keys are integrated with the F keys, and you slide a tab to select regular F key use or secondary use of media keys, monitor settings, etc. The F key issues are minimal for me. I quickly get used to the fact that the F keys are split like the actual number keys – between 6 and 7 – instead of between 5 and 6. Again, it’s mostly an issue because I am switching between a Sculpt at home and an Elite at work. However, given how much I love the Sculpt, and the fact that I have had several problems with keys on my Elite activating as I typed and edited this–I will probably be replacing my work keyboard with a Sculpt really soon! Battery life is difficult to judge. I’ve had it a couple months, and I use it between 8-24 hours a week. Haven’t had to change batteries yet. If I don’t have to change it for 3 more months, I’ll be satisfied. Two AAA batteries every 3-6 mos is fine with me. I’ll try to remember to update the review after I’ve had it longer, or after I have experience using one at work, which would be extensive use 8-9 hours daily, 5 days a week. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this keyboard, and I wish Id gotten one sooner! I have spent SO much money on ergo keyboards over the years, though, which were such disappointments, I was quite gun-shy on trying this one. Im quite glad I took the leap, though. Also -- I highly recommend getting a “Protection Plan” on this, or any electronic item you invest more than $50 in and NEED to have. For a few extra bucks, you can get easy, hassle-free replacements of products. Electronics are like the people who make them -- imperfect, and occasionally you come across one thats a dud. I figure that if youre spending over $50 on a keyboard, its because you are choosy enough or have physical needs which require something specific. The protection plan is an investment in your own peace of mind, health, and well-being. A few bucks for a guaranteed replacement if it goes belly up? Worth it. *Padded Palm Rest “PRO”– Palm and wrist rests are only supposed to be used for pauses *between* typing and mousing, not for resting or pressing on while performing the actions. While this keyboard’s lightly padded, synthetic leathery feel is nice, you should NOT actually rest your palms on it WHILE typing. That is how I exacerbated my carpal tunnel syndrome to the point of needing surgery–by subconsciously pressing on the palm rest while typing. The more busy and stressed I was, the harder I pressed. AFTER my CTR surgery, I realized I had been doing that, and I retrained myself to stop it. I also had an ergonomic specialist consultation (thanks to my employer!), and they told me my fingers should dangle from my hands, which should be held above the keys, with my arms at a 90-degree angle (L-shape) as seen from the side. Rest between typing only. If you need support, get a chair with arms or get arm supports that attach to your desk. The support under your forearms can relieve a lot of shoulder/neck tension and strain. But that’s too much weight to put on small points such as the wrists or palms.

Honest review of my experience, without any edits to show is problems [I pressed t and pressed . but they didnt register] I bought this either here or at BestBuy. At first I liked the keyboard, but over time it has proved frustrating. PROS: First, the shape and size is nice, but thats really all that there is to like about it in my opinion. CONS: I have two main problems. (1) Theres a alag between the receiver and the keyboard, I assume, so that keys repeat or are drod [dropped - lol that it didnt receive "dropped"]. I have a PC and I can plug the receiver into one of the front USB 3.0 ports, which is closer to the keyboard, and it works a little better. But, if I do that it causes different problems (see below). (2) In Windows 10, when I wake from sleep, theres a repeating key (I presume because theres no way to check). My password field is full of dots that are repeating. If you do a google search for this problem, youll find that many users experience this. Also, after waking from sleep, the Backspace key no longer functions. Additionally, functions like CTRL+D do not work. If I got to a keyboard testing program, the program provides an audible tone indicating that a keyhas been pressed but theres no inpt. ITs bizarre. You can plawiththe drivrs [play with the drivers] or change sb [usb] settings in theeDevice Manager. But nothing changes. Cannot recommend. Its simply a bad product.

I bought this keyboard after looking for an ergonomic KB that was quieter than what I had. What I had was an original MS "Natural Keyboard Elite" which Ive been typing on for many years. In fact, its so old, it has a PS2 connector instead of USB and I had to use an adapter to make it work. It was also very noisy when I typed which was never a problem until I started working from home. When on conference calls, I couldnt take notes because the old keyboard would drown out the conversation. My wife also complained which, of course, was the tipping point. I wasnt looking for wireless but it was all could find in a "Chiclet" style keyboard. I find the "ergonomic" shape as comfortable, if not more, than old Elite and the chiclet style keys are MUCH quieter. The keys are mostly in the same configuration so Im not hunting for delete, home, pgup, etc. But, Im not able to type as fast as I did before, for some reason. I suppose its an adjustment. I didnt think I would like the detached number pad but have grown to really like it. For one, my mouse is much closer to the keyboard now so less reaching for it. Secondly, you can pick it up and use like a calculator if you have some numbers to crunch. I also like theres a button to launch the Windows calculator on the KB and the num pad. Overall, its a great replacement for the old Elite. I would have given 5 stars but it didnt sit level on my desk at first. There are 5 padded feet on the bottom with the 5th in the middle front. The KB was bowed just slightly and the foot didnt touch the desk which made the KB rock a little when typing. However, I found I like the riser that attaches under the wrist rest so the unevenness is now moot. But, for the price, you would think the it would have been made better. I havent seen any other complaints on this so I must have the lucky KB!
