Update: the problem with this keyboard is...
Update: I loved this keyboard at first but, after using it for a while now, there is a huge problem. Look at the right and left halves of this keyboard. Notice how much WIDER the right side key area is as opposed to the left side. The problem is your right hand has to stretch frequently to hit the backspace, =, underscore and so on. I'm a software developer and hitting these keys is a frequent thing. This has caused a repeated-use problem on the outside-right of my right hand. I'm selling this keyboard and trying out the new Logitech Ergo K860 to see if it works better. The other issue with this keyboard is it's just spread out. This means you have to reach more which means more repeat use injuries, and I have LARGE hands. The other thing to note on ALL of Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards is pressing the keys is kind of like walking through ankle-deep water. The keys should have a click-on and bounce back feel. These keys feel mushy and require effort. This makes my whole hand sore after a while. If you want one of these keyboards cheap, mine is for sale! I am writing this review on this keyboard now! I had the Microsoft SURFACE ergonomic keyboard prior to this keyboard (the gray one) I never could get used to that keyboard. The flat surface of the keys never agreed with my fingers, the spacebar had an annoying squeak and the bluetooth was irritatingly slow to connect. With this keyboard the keys form a cup and my fingers land exactly on the keys I expect them to. I have way fewer typos and though the keys have more travel and feel a little more klunky than crisp I am able to type much much faster. I do prefer the chicklet style keys that are slightly clicker but I'm not going to get that key style with a cupped layout like this keyboard has. I also like that this keyboard is wired so no waiting for bluetooth connects. The wrist pad on this keyboard is very nice as well. I'm definitely "at home" with this keyboard, it feels comfortable and familiar without a huge learning curve. Thank you Microsoft! I would like to see backlighting on this and a tiny bit more crisp feel but those are not dealbreakers by any means. UPDATE: Backlighting would be very helpful on this keyboard. Sometimes it's difficult to see the Fx keys.
