This one lasted a bit longer, 2 and a half years... No doubt because it hasn't been plugged in/out as much as the other one; but we're still getting there, the keyboard no longer works (the numeric keypad does); what a shame, it's great! but the price is light years ahead of the quality... :( :( :(
In principle, the keyboard is pleasant to handle and type on.
Unfortunately, this is already the second time in 2 years that some keys simply stop working.
This is normally Microsoft's top of the range keyboard, and it's not much better than a €20 keyboard.
Comfort: top notch, the large wrist rest is really nice
Ergonomics : excellent
Mac compatibility: poor, I don't know if it's due to Mojave or Microsoft but the mac compatibility leaves a lot to be desired, the keyboard often lags on Mac Mojave (it seems that it's not the case on earlier versions).
The pluses:
+ The keyboard is very aesthetic.
+ The detachable numeric keypad is a real plus (my mother found it easy to do her accounts).
+ It's a good idea to have a look at it and see what you can do with it, because it's a great tool.
+ It's a great way to keep track of all the things you need to know.
The minuses :
- a switch would have been nice to save the batteries.
- The product lacks an indicator light or an icon on the screen for capital letters!
A little background: I suffer from chronic tendonitis, so I really need an ergonomic keyboard. Also, I don't like mechanical keyboards, so that narrows down the choice a lot, especially in azerty.
This Sculpt keyboard, from a pure ergonomic point of view, is a success: I haven't had any tendonitis in my wrists since I bought it, which is almost a year.
But it does have some negative points:
- The function keys: too small, too hard: it feels more like pressing a button than a key. The function keys are too small, too hard: it feels more like pressing a button than a key. Particularly the escape key, which I use a lot (vim). Sometimes some keys get stuck.
- No LED to indicate capitalization or stop scrolling. This is quite annoying, especially for capital letters. It would have been very easy to add a small LED directly in the key, as it is the case for example on the keyboard of my professional laptop...
- No on/off switch. No way to be warned if the batteries are at the end of their life, not even via the driver. That said, the original batteries lasted 8 months, and here I put batteries that should have a longer life.
The positive points :
+ really ergonomic keyboard: since I got it, no more tendon problems, and that's the main thing!
+ It works immediately under Windows 7, 10 Enterprise, and even under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which is a good surprise.
Verdict: mixed! The price is important. But not having tendonitis anymore is priceless! And it's by far the best ergonomic keyboard I've ever had; the only one with which I have no discomfort, even after a full day's work.
The fact remains that, at this price, there are some design problems that I find hard to digest: the function keys and the lack of LEDs. The lack of LEDs is something that you get used to when you use it. On the other hand, the function keys that sometimes get stuck are really annoying, even if it doesn't happen often.
