ProtoArcWireless Ergonomic Keyboard, EK04 2.4GHz Wireless Ergo Keyboard with Separate Numeric Keypad, Split Design, Wrist Rest, Rechargeable, for Desktop, PC, Laptop

This keyboard is amazing!! Especially for lefties like me, the separate number pad is a lifesaver. And with it separate, if you have a small work space, you can put it in a drawer easily, even a shallow one.It's very comfortable. The keys are quiet, soft touch, and not too touchy or hard-strike. This is really the Goldilocks of keyboards.If all you've used before is a straight keyboard this will take getting used to, but that's just the nature of the beast; ergos take getting used to. But absolutely, if you're looking for an ergo, and especially if you're left handed, buy this one!

This is pretty much exactly what I've been looking for.PROS:• Super comfortable!• Sturdy, weighty and feels well made.• Modern low-profile responsive keys• Perfect angle split design.• Tilt legs in the front so it tilts backwards not forwards like 99% of keyboards.• Comfortable and supportive built-in wrist rest.• Number pad is separate which get the mouse closer for even better ergonomics.• Calculator and screen lock shortcut keys on the number pad.• Great price point.CONS:• Many of the shortcut functions are useless IMO.• No volume shortcuts (only mute).• No play/pause shortcuts.A reasonably priced ergo keyboard with the TILT LEGS IN THE FRONT as they should be!My only gripe (and the reason it's "almost" perfect) is the "multimedia" keys are largely taken up for copy/pasting (cut, copy, paste, select-all). There's no play/pause OR EVEN VOLUME, only mute. Copy/paste functions are easy to do one-handed and I don't even need to leave the home position. Even if it just had volume shortcuts it'd be perfect for me.This is the reason I docked it one star. I find it a glaring oversight. If this wasn't otherwise a FANTASTIC keyboard the lack of volume keys would be a non-starter and it would be already returned.

I like the split keys for ergonomics, but I have a narrow area and no real need for the extended calculator keys, so this is perfect for me.You do need to remember to turn the keyboard off if you want the battery to last.Pretty seamless from the box.

Great keyboard

I've been using this for about a week, and overall I really like the concept—especially the separate num pad, which helps improve my workflow. I spend a lot of time in databases, Excel, and various other software, so being able to position the keyboard for left-hand input while using the mouse with my right hand is a big plus.That said, one thing that's been bothering me is the inconsistency in elevation: the main keyboard can be propped up at the wrist, but the num pad can't. It feels awkward having them at different heights. If raising the keyboard is meant to be more ergonomic, it's odd that the num pad doesn’t offer the same option. Definitely a strange design choice.

Would purchase again! It’s compact enough to travel and size able enough to use everyday at work! Super comfortable, battery lasts forever (I do turn both pieces off when I leave for the day), and set up was just plug and play!

I purchased this keyboard along with another to help with my CPS. Overall the keyboard was very well made and sturdy. The keys were easily to get accustomedto.The separate number pad is great if you are a lefty and like to compute with your left hand. It has the 3 connectivity modes and once you got used to the set up was easy to operate.The palm rest was too low/not cushioned enough for my needs. Also both units had/have to be charged which is a huge downside as I pretty much key PO at least 8 hours a day. Due to the fact I'm right handed the separate number pad didn't really help me - it just took up more space on my desk and cause additional wrist strain when I had to move farther .I would recommend this unit if you are looking for a more ergonomic desk option but do not already have carpal tunnel. (LISTEN UP - protect your wrist now because having this blows!!). I would also recommend if you do not do a lot of number work or if you are left handed. Great product - great company just not for me and my needs.

I love this small keyboard that's actually not that much smaller in layout than my old big MS ergonomic KB, except that the detached numeric keypad really does make it much, much smaller. I like it so much that I bought 2 more with included mouse. I think that I remember that someone nicked this KB for not having a volume up/down. My Windows task bar has a "speakers" icon to click that can then be adjusted with the up/down arrow keys, so not a nick in my situation.
