Love that the number pad is not attached.

Second, the separate number pad is all but useless as the battery drains within days (see other reviews for more info)

The unattached number pad is quite welcome

However, having the number pad as a separate unit from the keyboard works out great for me because I can position the mouse closer to the keyboard on the keyboard tray.

This happens even more frequently when using the number pad

I've had two of these, and both times I lost the number pad and never really used it.

I don't need the number pad which on most keyboards take up a lot of space and gets in the way of the

I wish they had made this more like a laptop keyboard, with the Num Lock activating a number-entering mode that e.g. lets me use the J, K, L, U, I keys to enter 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc, so that I can do away with the number pad more often.

The Ergonomics are great and the extra numberpad is well needed, but there are some key flaws.- the top row of keys on the number pad are different from all the other keys for whatever

I finally quit replacing them but using the top row numbers on the keyboard was so slow, I chucked the keyboard and am back to using a wired keyboard with the right hand number pad.

One downside is I don't care for the separate number pad.

I like the small space it takes up on the desk and that I can put the number pad elsewhere on my desk.

I love the detachable number pad as some

The keys are quiet (don't think quiet means "silent" -- but they are quiet) and the detachable number pad -- something I didn't care for when I looked at it -- is really nice

The separate number pad is great, since the need to use the numbers is infrequent

The number pad just didn't work and wouldn't connect at all

Man love this keyboard, I came from the previous generation, and the number pad takes a while to get used to the closer style keys are more efficient and make less noise

I decided to switch to the Microsoft Sculpt because it is ergonomic and also has the great little number pad that is separate from the keyboard

so I can navigate with my mouse with my right hand and use the number pad with my left.

I didn't think I would like the detached number pad but have grown to really like it

I used to have to work around the rest of the keyboard when working with numbers, but with a separate wireless number pad, things work so much better.

I prefer a detached number pad because it reduces the keyboard's width, which makes mousing around less painful on my shoulder

This has nice modern-feeling keys, and it's nice to have the number pad

This is over-priced, I think, by market ranges, but like the split off number pad, and split keyboard

only gripe is that I would actually have preferred an attached 10-key pad rather than a detachable one.

I LOVED that the number pad was separate since I work a lot with figures.

so I don't use my number pad constantly, but I do use it everyday navigating through our project numbers; keeping a number pad was important to me and so many ergonomic options seem to remove this entirely

I love the detatched number pad!

Because they made the separate number pad it does not take up much of a footprint and being right handed my mouse does not have to be way off to the side anymore, much more comfortable

The wireless number pad is sort of cute –

Quiet, well designed, comfortable ergo pad

An example is the use of magnets to hold the keyboard riser and battery door, as well as the number pad that is a separate device.

Love that I can put the number pad away until I need it.

You always have to look down to see where the number pad moved to

I love the 'natural' ergonomic keyboard, but most have the number pad to the right side, right where I would want my mouse to be.

I wasn't sure about the separate number pad, or that I'd even use it since my fingers are long enough to easily use the number keys along the top of the keyboard

I had the same issue with the number pad in both keyboards that has been mentioned in other reviews

I could not be any happier with this keyboard and number pad combo.

A great wireless keyboard and 10 key pad

The number pad is a separate little keyboard, which I don't really use, but would be very handy for data entry work on a desktop.

The number pad the keyboard came with bad a dead battery.

Takes some getting used to after using a small Mac keyboard, but excellent product and love the number pad.

or so I've started getting RSI in my thumbs from hitting the both the space bar and the number pad on the keyboard (and also from gripping my vertical mouse).

The Sculpt has a nice clean finish, improved foot print (actually smaller than the original Natural keyboard) and the detached number pad is actually a very positive redesign of the number pad concept

Lifespan of the batteries in the number pad (it's been dead for a while, but the keyboard is still operating on the same batteries that came with it)

I like that the number pad is separate, because I move it out of the way when I'm not using it at home, and also move the keyboard over to a more comfortable position for gaming.

I like the fact that the number pad is separate and you can place wherever you want to.

In addition, you cannot turn off the number pad without removing the batteries

I have the number pad above the keyboard on the desk.

One can use the separate number pad as an accessory when required; it's like having a calculator off to the side, put it in a drawer until you need to use it.

The only con for me is that the number pad is separate from the keyboard.

The other drawback that thus far I am NOT liking is the separate number pad.

Excellent battery life (still on my first set of batteries).I can't comment on the separate number pad since I never even got it out of the box

However, I've found it to be pretty handy to have and arranged things so that my trackball is between the keyboard and number pad for easy access to all

I really love that the number pad is not attached, and this is the primary reason I bought this keyboard.

Love the size and the separate number pad

Now the number pad has stopped working.

Best part is, separate number pad.

The ability to separate the number pad is key - now my wrist doesn't have to bend any farther than necessary to use the mouse, and the whole reason I bought the keyboard in the first place was to help my wrists out.

(And I personally don't much use the number pad anyway -- this new one mostly sits in a drawer.

I love that the number pad is separate so I can place it wherever is most convenient for me

The detachable number pad seems pointless

However, between changing batteries and the number pad flaking out, after 3 weeks I threw it in the trash and bought a different keyboard.

Incidentally, the disconnected 10 key pad is frustrating sometimes

I love that the number pad is separate.

The ergonomic feature is now a must for me, but I really don't like the number pad being separated out

so it's not convenient to use regularly as you would a number pad that is integrated.

I find this keyboard to be very comfortable and I like that the number pad is detached as I don't need to use it often.

The separate numeric key pad is a little weird

Also, I really like the separate number pad, especially since I'm left-handed and often

But I do like using the number pad

On a desk it might be OK, but I use the portable keyboard other places and the number pad is loose and so light that it is very hard to work'; takes two hands

And on the number pad, the number lock button sticks all the time

The number pad, 50% of the time after you beat on it long enough it will start to work, the other 50% it only captures about half the numbers you are typing.

The wrist pad is soft without being "squishy".Back to the number pad, I love the idea of it being detached

The number pad on this keyboard is HORRIBLE!

The number pad uses a coin battery.5

i REALLY like the compact footprint of the keyboard and separate number pad

Separate number pad allows better placement of mouse/wireless touch pad

I am not a huge fan of the number pad being separated, but other than that it works great, and I don’t get wrist issues as much anymore

The keyboard AND number pad neither have an on/off switch, so carrying this around in a case or backpack means that they will both deplete their battery in VERY short order.

I got this keyboard and number pad as a gift.

I was better off with the POS keyboards number pad that came with the computer as it at least had some rake to it

It is comfortable and the detached number key pad is nice since I am not an accountant.

I enjoy the separate number pad and am looking forward to years of happy, RSI-free typing with this device

Best keyboard ever!!The number pad uses special batteries: 4 Pack Energizer CR2430 Lithium Coin Button Cell

Having the separate number pad seemed like a good idea, but then I realized that I actually use it a lot and having it separate was not a good thing at all

I like the shape and ease of use, but the number pad stopped working in under 2 months.

Not having the number pad attached makes reaching for the mouse much nicer

The separate number pad is also cool.

If the keyboard was more reliable I would replace all my wired ergo keyboards with it because of the superior touch and separate number pad.

I still don't use the separate number pad

That includes the number pad as well.

The way it feels is great, and I love the versatility of the number pad

The number pad works

I do not like how small the F keys are and not so sure I like the number pad not being part of the keyboard, but so far so good

Convenient having a separate number pad

The number pad drained the included battery in less than a week

Love the detached number pad as well

I also like the separate number pad.

Those who are complaining about the number pad are likely confusing the function of the number lock key and its relationship with Windows 10 restarts

Ergonomic curve – comparable to MS Elite, but even more comfortable- Detached num pad- Num pad backspace

Pros:-Extremely comfortable!-Neat magnetic door on the back for batteries that also stores the USB receiver-Separate number pad-Calculator button (use this all the time!)Cons:-It doesn't seem like there'a a way to turn the keyboard off without removing the batteries-No backlight-Keys/pad seem to wear unusually fast

Right now turning Num Lock off turns the number pad into arrow keys

Great design except detached number pad

I have been using a Microsoft ergonomic curved and split keyboard for years to keep my shoulders happy, but the inclusion of the number pad on the right side meant that I was twisting my elbow off to the side to use my mouse

I kept finding myself pushing the keyboard forward and back, then the number pad was in the wrong spot

I also like having the separate number pad so that I can position it how I chose.

I would have given this a better review, except that the number pad battery has died 2 times since I got it

I also like having the separate number pad so that I can position it how I chose.

I like this one because the number pad is separate and can be used on the left or even slightly above your mouse

I am a fan of this ergonomic keyboard and number pad

Having the number pad separate is actually quite comfortable and was very easy to get used to.

The separated number pad is hit-or-miss, depending upon your own personal usage patters and desk layout

I'm thinking it's the keyboard because i have the keyboard with number pad only, while my coworker has both along with the mouse, and it has a different receiver

so it doesn't matter to me much if the number pad drains the battery (has not happened yet

I am sold on having the separate number pad, because it allows you to place your trackball/mouse much closer to the keyboard

If you do any sort of book keeping or accounting, or data entry that requires a lot of number entry, this gives you the ability to run the mouse with your right hand, and run the number pad with your left hand

Was in a torn bag (not a Microsoft box) and missing the number pad, which is one of the main reasons I ordered this.

I also like the separate number pad.

Love the detached number pad as well

Convenient having a separate number pad

The number pad did not work.

Not a fan of the split number pad, hard to use when its not in the same position all the time

Having the separate number pad seemed like a good idea, but then I realized that I actually use it a lot and having it separate was not a good thing at all

Microsoft should have made the number pad just slightly thicker, and used AAA batteries.

I've never used the number pad thingie, and probably never will

Other users have complained about the separate number pad.

What this means I discovered is that the separate number pad does not work

The keyboard 'pad' feels nicer than the 4000.

My shoulder doesn't like that I have to reach right for the number pad, then to the mouse, then back across again

i REALLY like the compact footprint of the keyboard and separate number pad

I like the keyboard, but the separate number pad is a pain because it gets pushed out of the way, or you instinctively reach for it as your calculator.

The detachable number pad seems pointless

The fact that it includes a number pad is good.

I initially was afraid I would miss not having an included number pad, but found that the wireless keypad was actually a lot more convenient.

Having said that, though, this is the second of these keyboards I've bought - one for myself and one for my former employer - and both of the little separate number pads burned up expensive button batteries so fast it wasn't worth spending the money every month to keep the number pad alive, so it's now in the junk drawer

.... is the separated number pad

Now the number pad has stopped working.

I love this keyboard and numeric pad!

I use the non-slip shelf liner to keep the keyboard stable on my desktop, and that works fairly well, but the number pad is too light and tends to move around

I would like the keyboard more if the number pad was attached

I had to throw away my new keyboard, mouse and separate number pad as these are programmed to the particular wireless transmitter and cannot be used with any other transmitter.

I can sit much more centrally at the keyboard now that the number pad is detached so the mouse can sit several inches closer

The wireless number pad is sort of cute –

One more thing, I did not become a great fan of detached number pad

It's worth it to me to be able to put the number pad in my left hand

I love the detatched number pad!

The separate number pad is a great feature, giving the option of cleaning up your desktop space if not using it.

I have the number pad on the top of my desk

I LOVE the way it is shaped, the way the keys feel, the ease of typing and the separated number pad as shown

The key action is crisp and the separate number pad does a great job of saving desk space

Also, the number pad having a calculator button that automatically brings up Windows' calculator is just brilliant

I finally quit replacing them but using the top row numbers on the keyboard was so slow, I chucked the keyboard and am back to using a wired keyboard with the right hand number pad.

In summary, aside from the really bad function keys and the floating number pad, this keyboard is pretty darn good.

I actually don't like that the number pad is separate because it gets in the way of the mouse

The unattached number pad is quite welcome

the number pad on keyboards was on the left

The 10 pad is nice because I can push it to the side when not in use and pull it forward when I need it, again making it all fit in the keyboard tray pull out of my desk along with an ergonomic mouse very comfortable.

I love the fact that the number pad is separate and can be tucked away from your main desk space until needed.

and the split pad is just enough to be comfortable.

She really likes it because she rarely uses the number pad.

The top row keys (even on the number pad) are NOT the same as the main keys

I appreciate the wireless feature and the separate 10-key pad, so I don't have more on my desk than needed.

Key action is very good for a chiclet style keyboard- Separate number pad is a bonus when travelling with a laptopCons:-- Key layout not ideal, but numerous downloadable utilities can get you past these: o White/Blue function switch should be replaced with Fn+ style key functionality (perhaps replace the calculator key with Fn); especially miss dedicated volume keys -- see review by YodaFlame about AutoHotkeys

Not having the number pad integrated to the main keyboard considerably reduces the stress on the right arm and shoulder

The number pad still works though

I look forward to being able to use the number pad with my left hand, when I get another.

I also don't like the number pad requiring a watch battery, why they couldn't make it a AAA battery is beyond me

The delay is a disaster and makes everything else about the keyboard (no cords, stylish, great size, love the separate number pad, etc.) worthless.

The side number pad is almost useless

Unlike others, I've been using the combo keyboard with separate number pad for several weeks and the keypad has not needed a new battery.

Although it doesn't have room for the right side number pad, it provides a separate piece for when you need that convenience.

The detachable number pad is nice to have, but clutters the desk

Love that the keys are not the standard ones normally on external keyboards, love that it takes up less room sans the number pad

It is a poor design to separate number pad

If it's not that it is an unfortunate staggering of battery life between your keyboard and your number pad, in which case just replace them at the same time

The keyboard has a rise of at least 1/4 inch to 2 inches depending if you use the riser - but the number pad is completely flat (with no riser) so you have to adjust your hand and wrist to use it - which slows you down.

Unlike keyboards with a full number pad you can keep your mouse close by -- I hate the full number pad as it forces right handed mice half a foot to the right

Third, if you are not much of number-pad user like

The fact that the number pad is separate from the main keyboard has been an ergonomic miracle for me because it allows me to use a mouse almost in front of me instead of off to the side

Pros: feels professional, quiet, comfortable, well-constructed, detached number pad is VERY convenientCons: wireless dongle requires use of a USB port, and I only have 3 on my computer.

Separate number pad is convenient, especially since you don't need a separate fob.

The number pad as a separate piece is nice as well

The good: compact shape and separate number pad allows for good ergonomics (for me), the big delete button is nice to have, in general a competent keyboard

I was having issues in my right shoulder and determined that reaching the mouse was difficult with the keyboards that had number pads integrated into them

The stock battery in the number pad is a very low quality piece from who knows where, but it doesn't last long

I rarely need a number pad

The number pad has its own lithium battery, also provided.

The number pad leaves a lot to be desired however.

Another issue is the separate number pad, which rarely get used

I use the 10-key number pad often, so it was awkward for me to reach over to wherever I had put it to use it.

I was looking for a keyboard that was — in order of importance — ergonomic, not ugly, didn't have unnecessary keys/number pads/etc, wireless

The good: compact shape and separate number pad allows for good ergonomics (for me), the big delete button is nice to have, in general a competent keyboard

The number pad as a separate piece is nice as well

Separate number pad is convenient, especially since you don't need a separate fob.

Separate number pad is definitely a convenient plus.

Overall, it is a good keyboard, especially for those that do not use number pad

I'll give it a full 10 hours of work today and decide how annoyed I am by the number pad being separate and the function keys not being easily used.

Eliminating the number pad makes this keyboard very ergonomic, allowing switching mouse from right to left and vice versa to balance neck and shoulder strain.

I really like this little keyboard.. no wires, they broke off the number pad which is

The detachable number pad is nice to have, but clutters the desk

It's significantly narrower than any other keyboard I've used, a little wider than a standard keyboard with no number pad

I like the separate number pad

Just plug it in, and the keyboard and number pad are ready to go.

Resting pad for wrists began losing its coloring after just a few

I keep the number pad on the other side of my mouse.

The floating number pad may seem like a good

A simple keyboard without all the frippery, that centers on the screen, that has the "natural" ergonomic shape without being the size of a bus, that has large backspace and delete keys, that has a mobile number pad to clear space for the mouse, that has excellent tactile keys allowing my big fingers to type without so many errors, that is well-priced, that works out of the box flawlessly, and has an innovative battery compartment cover that simple adheres magnetically.

Batteries included in both keyboard and the number pad

Rarely use the number pad but do need it to use alt codes

The separate number pad is good but doesn't have % key which makes it slightly inconvenient.

and I don't use the number pad

The small "footprint" without the number pad makes the movement to my mouse much less stressful on my wrists, great buy

The number pad that I don't use is separate so doesn't take up space

Love this keyboard and the separate number pad

This is a hair over 17 inches wide and I am in awe that someone realized not all of us use the number pad on a regular basis - nearby, but not in the way

And by the angle that the laptop sits, there isn't exactly space for the number pad

The separate number pad is nice too because I rarely need it

It took some time to get used to the placement of they keys that normally would have been around the number pad area

For those of use who frequently switch from keys to the number pad, this keyboard is a nightmare.

The separate number pad is nice too, since I rarely use it, but when I do the rest of the keyboard tends to be superfluous

Because the number pad is separated from the keyboard, it is smaller than I expected

The delay is a disaster and makes everything else about the keyboard (no cords, stylish, great size, love the separate number pad, etc.) worthless.

Now for the seperate number pad.

My one criticism is that the number pad stopped connecting after a few months, but to be honest that thing was just annoying to begin with.

If they made a riser for the number pad and had an option to attach it to the keyboard (another magnet would be cool) then the option would make sense, otherwise its a bit of a frustration to use.

The number pad still works though

Key action is very good for a chiclet style keyboard- Separate number pad is a bonus when travelling with a laptopCons:-- Key layout not ideal, but numerous downloadable utilities can get you past these: o White/Blue function switch should be replaced with Fn+ style key functionality (perhaps replace the calculator key with Fn); especially miss dedicated volume keys -- see review by YodaFlame about AutoHotkeys

And it's not the entire number pad, just some of the keys

and the split pad is just enough to be comfortable.

The only issue I had was that the number pad was all scratched up out of the box

Generally this keyboard is a great design and I love the separate number pad, (I believe this is the only Num Pad with a Calc button out there) , however the connectivity is awful on both devices, every time you pause for over 15 to 30 seconds they go to sleep and ALWAYS miss the first keystroke when you start typing again, I do not recommend that you buy this keyboard as this is extremely frustrating

The 10-key pad is kind of cool in that you can move it out of the way when not needed.

The curved shaped is really comfortable (my wrists hurt when I type on regular keyboard, which is why the das was a no go).The removal of the number pad is great

As a programmer, I rarely use the number pad, and this extra wasted space requires me to move my hand back and forth for a good minimum of 6" per one way trip

I never liked having the number pad separate from the actual keyboard, but lately it's become unusable

Btw the number pad drain battery (CR2430) without ever using it

Then the number pad quit working.

My one complaint is that the number pad is separated

It feels ergonomic but the separate number pad means I have to search for it when I use it.

I like the keyboard and wished it worked as it supposed to function.

The mouse LED light doesn't turn off automatically when it's idle, as far as I can tell

Trying to alt+tab or use other key combinations (shift+ for capitals) rarely works as or both of the keys are undetectable.5

So my recommendation is not to buy one of these units unless you are channeling your inner Clint Eastwood and 'feel lucky today'...otherwise you may end up with a dead, useless keyboard, and don't forget to save the box, cheesy as it was, so you can send it back to DataVision Computer Video just like I wish I could.

I liked this a

low profile keys, which I like a

Embarrassing and becomes unusable in short order once the keys stop working as they should.

i goodwill’d the number padmy wrists thank you

Additionally, functions like CTRL+D do not work.
