Kensington Pro Fit Ergonomic Wired Keyboard- Black (K75400US)

The keys are nice and soft, the calculator key is above the backspace rather than the lock key above the backspace which is ideal (I'd rather accidentally pop up a calculator than lock my computer), and the arrangement of the keys is ideal. My only suggestion for improvement on this keyboard is to use mechanical (brown? - the ones that are quiet and with minimal actuation pressure) switches, and to widen the wrist pad on the left side because the left hand hangs off the edge. This model is slightly wider than the cherry keys model which is even worse in this aspect, but hey, why not try widening it a little more so it gets the whole hand. I'll emphasize that the az, sx, dc, fv, and gb alignment is so nice. The keyboards that stagger these keys are far more inconvenient to type on. The funny thing is there are no keyboards on the market that have mechanical key switches and this type of keyboard alignment along with this keyboard layout. If someone made that keyboard, it would become the best keyboard in the entire world, and I have a feeling few people would take notice until maybe 10 years later. At which point it would become discontinued right as it was becoming a living legend. Because that is how the market for perfect keyboards works.

Price a bit high for what it is, however it does the job and is nice to use and quiet.

I tried two other keyboards before this one. and I was bracing myself to have to buy a super-expensive one, just to get something I liked. But this one is near perfect. I love the soft, almost-silent touch of the keys. The previous keyboard I tried had squishy keys that actually fatigued my hands by the end of the day, due to the effort needed to push them. On this keyboard it feels good to type. I also like that the caps lock light is in the upper right corner, not on the key, which means I can see it without moving my hand (this was a problem with one of the other keyboards I tried). The split between F6 and F7 threw me off for a bit, but I've adjusted (the old Microsoft ergo keyboard split between f5 and f6, so I had to adjust to the different positions). Aside from that, all the keys are in the right place and I'm pretty good at hitting them without looking. I like the spacing and layout of the arrow keys. This keyboard doesn't try to do anything fancy with the layout, which means it looks plain, but the keys are all in the right place. If I had to complain? I'd rather there be no keys at all above the backspace key. It's easy to aim too high and hit the calc or the lock key instead of backspace. A little extra space between the numbers and the F keys might be nice, as well. But it's rare that I punch the wrong key. Maybe a little more padding on the wrist rest -- this one isn't as cushiony as the others I've tried. I'd also like pop-out feet at the top and bottom of the keyboard -- this one only has them at the bottom, which seems like the opposite of what most people would want. But I'm very comfortable typing with it, the way it is.

Great keyboard! The cushion rest is very supportive and the shape of the keyboard is really comfortable to type on.

I had hoped this keyboard would be a good substitute for the Microsoft ergonomic keyboard, which was taken over by Incase for manufacture. The Incase one is not available and may never be available again. Unfortunately, the Kensington keyboard (the one being reviewed) spaces the keys slightly differently, and I make more typing mistakes with this one. The squares feel smaller, and don't have the slants on the sides like the Incase does to give a tactile clue where you are on the keyboard. The keys are small squared-off tiles. And being too close together interferes a lot with touch typing. When I try to use the right arrow, I almost always hit the INSERT key because there isn't sufficient space (or tactile indicator) for me to detect the right arrow. I then have to delete whatever was in the copy buffer that the insert key added before I can arrow to where I wanted to make a change. As a fast touch typist, I find all of those design flaws acutely.

The number pad ceased working. It started working again without any apparent reason. So I blame Windows updates.

There are two major things that are problematic with this keyboard: 1. I've had this keyboard for 3 months and the letters are already fading off the most commonly used keys. I've never known any keyboard to fade like this, so the fact it's doing so after so short a time is telling. 2. The much bigger problem is that if I leave the keyboard untouched for a period of time while the computer is on, when I come back to it, the computer will behave as though I'm holding down the alt key, even though I'm not. This happens on two separate computers, so I know it's an issue with the keyboard, not with the computers. To fix it, it either requires 3 - 5 minutes of pressing the alt key for various durations, as well as unplugging and plugging back in the keyboard, etc., or it requires restarting the computer. This is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I didn't realize what was happening with it until a few days after the return window, or I would have returned it.

I like this for the price, but some of the keys are in a different place that the wireless one I had

Regalo para mi hijo. Empaque limpio y cuidado. Producto excelentes condiciones y el funcionamiento increíble. Un teclado que todo mundo debería tener porque ayuda con las articulaciones para los que pasamos mucho tiempo en la computadora

Yaklaşık beş ay içerisinde çok kullanılan tuşların yazıları silindi, iade ettim, iadem kabul edildi.

worked pretty well for about 5 months but then the top row of keys suddenly stopped working and even after a clean out, still wouldn't work. Might just my one that had problems. It was under warranty and I got a refund. Performance was good until it stopped working.

This keyboard is taking me some time to get used to, because of the split erogonomic design. But, with bad carpel tunnel syndrome, I was advised to buy an erogonomic keyboard. Sometimes, simple is best. I had ordered TWO other wireless keyboards by other brands, more expensive, and they were both faulty! I had to return them. I decided to go with a good old wired keyboard, and I'm glad I did. The keys on this keyboard are smooth like butter when you type. Some people like that, and some people prefer more clicky keys. This keyboard isn't for those who like clicky keys. I am very impressed with this keyboard for the price. I'm noticing a reduction in my wrist and arm pain after having it almost a month now. The padded wrist pad is making all the difference. I paired this keyboard with a Tecknet erogonomic mouse, and they're both helping a lot.

Ordered it because I have issues with carpal tunnel and wrist strain. Working from home this whole year, I've definitely noticed wear-and-tear on my wrist, elbow and back. The split keyboard is comfortable and the edge closest to you elevates so that you type with your wrists in a very neutral & natural position. I touch-type quite well and it took me less than a day to get used to the split keyboard layout. The key action is on the softer side but not exactly silent, which may or may not be an issue if you're sharing an office with your family (Zoom calls and typing noises...). Overall, I'm very pleased with the product, and it arrived within a couple of days of ordering on Amazon.
