Advanced ergonomic design

The domed keyboard shape works to reduce and correct wrist pronation that can cause pain and limited mobility.

True comfort for lasting productivity
Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is designed for productivity. By providing a relaxed, comfortable computing experience, it enables you to work without the stress, strain, and discomfort of other keyboards and mice you may have used in the past.
It’s all in the angles
The natural arc keyboard layout follows the curve of your fingertips for a more natural way of typing. Reverse tilt design positions the keyboard at the correct angle to give you a straight, neutral wrist position. Additionally, the shape of the mouse is designed for maximum wrist comfort. Plus, its Windows button provides one-touch access to the Windows Start Menu.
Includes the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse
The advanced design of Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse maximizes wrist comfort while making navigation effortless. Shaped to encourage a more natural hand, wrist, and forearm posture, Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse helps prevent the pain of repetitive stress injuries. And with Microsoft BlueTrack Technology, you have precise control on virtually any surface.
Security
This keyboard features Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology, which is designed to help protect your information by encrypting your keystrokes. Each keyboard is permanently paired with its receiver at the factory—no key information is ever shared over the air.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017Update: BEST KEYBOARD EVER!!! I have been using this keyboard for a while now, and it has helped my should problems SO MUCH. In fact, they are gone! I had completely forgotten how much my shoulder bothered me on other keyboards until I had to use my husband's one day. It's ergonomic, but the numeric keypad is attached, which makes using the mouse a literal pain in the neck. Using this one, with the numeric keypad separate, has completely taken care of the problem! YIPPEEEEEE! And using the mouse has not bothered me at all, despite it looking less ergonomic than my old one. The keyboard still looks brand new and so does the mouse. I love that the mouse has a spot to put the USB for it so I don't lose it. The bottom of my mouse stays on no problem--you just have to put it on correctly. This is the best keyboard set EVER and I'm SO HAPPY I have it!!!!! I'm now going to get another one for my husband for when I have to use his computer too. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!
I replaced my (very) old Microsoft Natural wireless keyboard with this version. When I received it, I unboxed it, plugged the single USB in, and keyboard, mouse, and numeric pad all just plain worked. No setup at all! This could be common as keyboards go now, but I haven't had a new one in so long, I was expecting to have to install drivers, etc. Nope! Just plug and play--yay! It has a slightly different typing feel than my old one, but has the same (or very similar) slope as the MS Natural if you use the elevating piece, and I got used to typing on it in a matter of minutes. I'm sure the muscle-memory learning curve would be longer if you're not coming from a similarly shaped keyboard though. I find this new one very comfortable--even more so than my old one. And the BEST thing about it is that the numeric keypad is separate, so that I can have my mouse in a much more ergonomic position--closer to my hand instead of an extra 3-4 inches off to the right as on my old keyboard with built-in numeric pad. This was the only keyboard I found like that, so I'm thrilled it is comfortable in general as well as with the mouse. The keys are nice and quiet, too. My home office is right next to my toddler's room, and my old keyboard was loud enough to disturb him, but this one is plenty quiet.
Also, I like the mouse. I wasn't sure if it was going to be ergonomic enough, but I actually think it's just right. The vertical mice crank my wrist too much. This one is in a very natural position, and with my gel mouse pad with the wrist rest, it feels like the perfect position. The mouse is taking a little longer to get used to. It is a little heavier than my old one, and it lacks an indent on the right side of it, which makes it more difficult to grip when you have to pick up the mouse to move it from one corner of the screen to another. This is a moderate nuisance to me since I work on a really big screen, hence the four stars, but since it feels so comfortable otherwise, I think it will end up working pretty well. I might try to put a little poster putty or maybe even a little smear of silicone caulk on the side to add grip. I would not consider this a deal breaker, but if you do, the keyboard is available to buy without the mouse if you want to use a different mouse with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015I own 3 computers. Each of them has a MICROSOFT ERGONOMIC keyboard for a reason. I bought my first on advice from my brother. How they fit the posture of your arms / hands while typing reduces considerable stress on those areas. The palm rest only enhances your comfort while typing / computing. I have used all the keyboards over the 20 years I have been computing and have never been unhappy with them. They ARE, however, not for everyone. Some people prefer a narrow straight keyboard that comes standard with most computers. If you are a laptop user, you may consider this an a serious upgrade from the standard laptop in the sense that it types like a laptop keyboard ... again reducing the unnatural ergonomics of keeping your elbows against your sides while maneuvering keystrokes with your hands. It is just a NATURAL feel for the comfort of your "body-nomics". If space is a consideration, and you want an ergonomic keyboard I highly recommend this one. It is the smallest of the 3 that I use. Light weight and comes with a "booster" that raises the keyboard from the bottom of the board. It is magnetic and just clings to the bottom of the board and with a light pull, comes loose for storage.
THAT being said, I find that (bottom magnetic support) a but cumbersome for my needs. I like keyboards with the two snap-out extensions beneath the board to elevate the FRONT of the board. This keyboard does not have those 2 snap-out additions. For mine to be used as I do, I have made a small elevation piece made from spare wood and rubber parts that sits beneath my keyboard to elevate the front.
The separate number key pad is something to get used to but if you rarely use it, it is NOT part of the keyboard itself. Easily stowed in a non function place (drawer / desk space not used etc.)
Mouse: larger than I like but TOTALLY programmable through Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center (which comes with Windows 8.1) or can be downloaded separately from Microsoft for free. Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center knows EVERY Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard ever made and can be used to set those up to your personal standards. I use three different systems: Win 8.1 Pro / Win 7 SP1 / Win XP. The Mouse Center can be loaded on all 3 operating systems and works with any mouse / keyboard (PS/2 or the newer type of dongles (independent TX/RX)
Having stated the above, I queried Microsoft Sales about having a dongle that is like Logitech Unifying dongles. Those control up to six (6) separate mice / keyboards out of 1 USB port on ANY computer in range with Logitech keyboards and mice. Not sure whether they use WiFi or bluetooth, but they WORK. Microsoft advised me that each of their devices always come with their own dongles. SAD. How many USB ports could you gain with a unifying device (TX / RX).
Summary: I love this keyboard because of how it looks and works. Small fingerprint on your desktop ergonomic and comfortable. Battery life I will assume depends on amount of usage. I have had mine a couple months now, and are fully functional. I keep a mental date in my head of when they were started so will know how long batteries last when the keyboard gets funky. LOL.
This is a wonderful set if you computer for hours on a daily schedule.

I bought this for work after suffering from tech neck and chronic shoulder pain. I'd changed everything else up and this has made all the difference - it takes some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it 90% of the aches and pains have cleared up. Can highly recommend.
