Customer Reviews

Great Ergo Design4
I love this keyboard because of the way, and the angle at which the keys are split. It is perfect for my tendonitis-prone left wrist, which is why I needed it. I only wish there was a bluetooth version because I use it with my laptop and I hate wires!

Space bar3
I received the keyboard today. The space bar is a big problem. It gets stuck in the pressed position. it is also difficult to press it from sides. you need to push it in the middle which is totally contradictory with the ergonomic design. the design itself is quite good but the space bar, which is maybe the most commonly used key, creates a big problem. I do not recommend this keyboard to anyone. Go for the Microsoft Curve Comfort.

Heaven5
This is the best keyboard out there and the price is right! Easy to manipulate and works well with your hands. Has a rest and on an incline to position your hands properly. I also use a pad for my elbows. Would recommend highly!
