2nd HS in 3 years
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... :( :( :(

For €100 this keyboard is a disaster!
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.Review automatically translated -

Good 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).Review automatically translated -

A lovely keyboard
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!

Efficient but not without flaws
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.Review automatically translated -

no hesitation, go for it!
Any initial fears quickly faded away.
After a few days of use and adaptation, it is a real comfort to win.
I've been using it for a while now and it's a real pleasure to use it.

Indispensable
This is the best ergonomic solution for users who have to type tens of thousands of characters a day. Surprisingly, the adaptation is very fast. Of course, don't venture to buy such a keyboard if you don't know how to type...

Comfortable and Mac compatible
I already had this keyboard in the office and bought it for home with the fear that it would not be compatible on OSX. In the end, it works perfectly on my MBP running macOS Sierra and I just need to configure an alternative keyboard in PC mode.
Apart from that, I confirm all the other comments about its comfort and aesthetics.Review automatically translated -

Comfortable
It's not a gamer keyboard, nor a programmer keyboard, it's just THE keyboard!
It's the 3rd one I've bought. I have one at home, in the office, in the living room...etc. I can't live without it.
It's comfortable, makes very little noise when typing, practical (wireless), and doesn't take up much space thanks to the numeric keypad that you can put away in a corner.
I use it for everything, office, work, and even gaming. As a heavy keyboard user, this one is still the best for comfort and versatility.Review automatically translated -

Does not work
On receipt: the keypad works, the keyboard does not. Problem with the terminal in the battery compartment, I think. Not good.

functional and relaxing
I have just received this keyboard and I am not disappointed with its daily use. I have to admit that I had a hard time getting used to it at the beginning but after 2 weeks I was able to use it all day long. It's a great way to get the most out of your keyboard... I like my keybord.

ergonomic
Office keyboard that does its job perfectly.
The design is rather classy if a little futuristic.
The detached numeric keypad is particularly useful for entering references.
The ergonomics are perfect for me thanks to the raised wrist position which I find very relaxing.Review automatically translated
