Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally an ergonomic keyboard for Mac

I've been using Sculpt keyboard and mouse for a few years now. This worked really well, but some keys never mapped properly for Mac. Also, lately it seems like the Mac has changed its driver so the mouse and keyboard aren't responding fast enough. So I decided it was time to look around. Below this keyboard is a physical switch that toggles mappings between Mac and PC. It can also use Bluetooth or 2.4GHz radio. It comes with command and option keys to replace the Windows and Alt keys. This is great as I now have an ergonomic keyboard that really suits the Mac. It also doesn't have a number pad, which is hard to find. On most keyboards, the number pad pushes the keyboard out too far, making it difficult to use the mouse. And I don't really use the numeric keypad for my work anyway. Bluetooth seems to be more responsive. Blue Tooth Awakening works well too. The keyboard itself requires a much fuller keystroke than I'm used to, and I think I like sculpting more while typing. I also wish there was an option to raise the back of the keyboard so it slopes down more. But overall I think it will be a good replacement once I get used to it. I could give it a run of 4.5 if that was an option, but I've rounded up to 5.
