Review on Elevate Your Comfort with the Microsoft πŸ’» Sculpt Ergonomic Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse L5V-00001 by Manaporn A Skuljaroe ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

I have been using the predecessor (Natural Keyboard 4000) for many years, so I will compare with it. The quality of manufacturing and assembly of the keyboard has become better. The keys almost do not hang out, as it was on the 4000th. The travel and hardness of the keys are quite acceptable. In general, the keyboard has become more durable, you take it in your hands and you feel that the thing) However, there are drawbacks. The upper function keys are structurally different from the main ones, and they work indistinctly. When pressed, it feels like there was a click, but the key does not work yet. You have to push her. It spoils the impression. The 2022 characters on the keys are hard to see, they are painted with a duller blue paint than the inscriptions on the function keys. The block of keys Home, End, PgUp, etc. was much more convenient on the Natural 4000. The Home and End keys are located too far from the arrow keys, you have to reach for them and fumble each time. It would be much better to swap Home and End with PgUp and PdDn keys. The Insert key sits right above the up arrow key and is often hit by mistake. The main problem of the keyboard is this block of keys. Getting used to such an arrangement is absolutely impossible. I hope that in future versions of the keyboard these keys will again be structurally separated from the main ones. It is not clear for what purpose the manufacturer writes the word "Enter" on the Enter button, while the inscriptions on other buttons (Shift, Alt, etc.) are not translated into 2022. The mouse is included - for an amateur. The surface of the mouse is made of smooth plastic, because of this, the hand slides off it, and requires more attention to positioning than it deserves. Put the mouse back in the box. Unfortunately, it is impossible to buy a keyboard without a mouse in the load. In general, the impressions are positive, but 100% hit, like the Natural 4000 in its time, the keyboard does not pull at all. | After a month of use, I tried to work on the old 4000th, I didn’t like the course of its keys at all, the keys are too tight and their movement is very large.

Pros
  • Ergonomic keyboard stand and battery covers are attached with magnets. Comfortable island type keys.
Cons
  • * Mouse: too slippery surface, no sure grip. There are few function buttons and there is no way to reassign them. * Caviatura: Function keys work indistinctly. The keys Home, End, PgUp, etc. are heaped together for the sake of beauty and size, which creates inconvenience when editing texts. The function key switch (Fn) is inconvenient to use, in addition to it, a separate Fn key is needed. 2022 characters on the keys are dark and hard to see. From the keyboard at first comes not a strong, but not too pleasant smell of burnt rubber and glue.
