The best keyboard for power users and professionals

I really like this keyboard after a month of use. I had to revert to an ergonomic setting due to pain in my forearms and elbows. This can be caused by holding hands over the keyboard for a long time. The raised palm rest allows me to rest my hands, and the downward tilt of the keys allows my fingers to reach them without stretching my wrist. After a few hours of practice, I was typing quickly with little to no effort on my wrists. By the end of the first month, the pain in my arm was gone. i love keys They're very light and soft, yet strong enough that you don't accidentally press on them, and they provide a decent click. The volume of the clicks is like a decent laptop. I feel like I can type faster and with less effort than the standard OEM keyboard I've used before. The separate keyboard is practical. I like that I can pull it out when needed. Gives me more space for my mouse and tablet. Everything is fine with the mouse. I think it's more ergonomic than a standard mouse. I had to move the USB adapter to the front of my tower case due to connectivity issues. Connection 100% in new location. There is a slightly hidden button in the thumb hole to the left of the Windows logo. It's raised to be touched, but I accidentally touched it a couple of times. Its default behavior is the back button in browsers. I could turn it off The last ergonomic keyboard I used was the Microsoft 4000 Ergonomic Desktop, which also has a high palm rest. It has also helped me with some elbow pain. I think an elevated wrist is very important for those who type a lot, but I haven't seen it work better than either of these keyboards. Sculpt has way better buttons. It requires very little effort to click, which was my main complaint about the 4000. The mouse of the 4000 was like that. not good. I'm a network administrator, programmer, IT professional and I use the keyboard a lot in my free time. I type a lot. I also started using a Wacom One tablet to replace some of my mice around the same time I got this keyboard. With two together, my arm pain was gone in less than a month.

Pros
  • Dome shaped keyboard allows for a natural, relaxed wrist angle
Cons
  • Can hurt
