    Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse (L5V-00001) (With Mouse)

    • Good keyboard but the only thing that bothers me is that sometimes when my computer is off the keyboard will drain the battery that's inside like if it was on the entire day when it's not
    • But after a while, my wrists start to hurt, and that's also not a positive thing.
    • 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.
    • I love this keyboard, it is the best thing I've bought in a long time.
    • I am sure you can use it on a Mac or other things like Ubuntu
    • ORIGINAL:---------------This thing is awesome
    • The key feel of the logitech isn't nearly as nice; however, the risk of doing something seriously bad inadvertently is just too big a deal to keep the silly things.
    • , on your computer, then maybe you will love this thing
    • I quite like the fact that the keys are shallow like a laptop. Feels very similar to me to a mac keyboard (which, for me is a good thing).
    • The only thing is that battery in a num keys section has very small capacity so will die much faster than main keyboard
    • I just think they put a little too much emphasis on making this thing look elegant and simple at the expense of making it much less ergonomic than it could have been
    • Once I started researching proper keyboard ergonomics I realized that my posture and what I was using was not the healthiest thing I could do
    • One VERY important thing to keep in mind -- guard that wireless receiver with your life
    • Regardless, this thing is great!!!!
    • Besides that one feature I can't say enough great things about this keyboard.
    • Quite possibly the best thing Microsoft has ever made.
    • One thing I don't like is that a set of Duracell AAA cells exploded in the one I had at work, while I was using it
    • I hate those things, but I know a lot of people like them
    • It's not nearly as efficient as operating with a regular keyboard, but it does improve things somewhat.
    • Bad things I didn't know about
    • I had to relearn to type a little (previously I always hit the B key with my right hand, and so the placement of B and V on this keyboard took some getting used to), but after that I grew to love this thing
    • (The same thing has worked for Apple but in a much more honest and ethical way
    • The armrest is great, however I admit that its upper material does not seem like the most durable thing ever (I prefered the material they used in the 4000 series)
    • I worked out the above two things, I had no further issues, for going on four months now
    • BUT THE STAND-ALONE NUMBER PAD IS THE WORST THING
    • I love this thing - I get compliments all the time regarding the design and shape
    • This thing is plagued by stuck and unresponsive keys
    • I love this keyboard... the only thing I wish it had was an on/off switch.
    • I've used this piece at work (heavy data entry) for over a year and a half, and things are much better than they could have been with a standard keyboard
    • Husband loves this thing
    • It took a couple days to figure out how that thing fit and worked
    • And best thing, my shoulder/arm do not hurt any more!!
    • But after a while, my wrists start to hurt, and that's also not a positive thing.
    • I was ordering a 4000 when I stumbled across this pretty thing.
    • Fresh batteries, same thing
    • and I hate that thing so very much
    • As a lefty being able to set the numpad on the left side of the keyboard is the most amazing thing ever as it makes it actually usable
    • Yes, this thing is amazing in a variety of ways
    • All things considered, I would definitely recommend it as an upgrade to anyone who has the older 4000 model.
    • I love this thing
    • One thing that I would have preferred with this keyboard is that when using the numerical pad my fingerprints smudge up the glossy surface
    • The last thing you need in VI is a CapsLock lurking around
    • Which is a good thing
    • These things are significant enough for me to not give a 5-star review
    • Without a doubt the greatest thing Microsoft has ever made.
    • and it makes taking notes during conference calls and things silent and not disturbing.
    • T e overall function of the keyboard is great.
    • I would like to see a wired version of this keyboard to resolve the N-key rollover issues and the failing to register the letting up of buttons after they have been held for a while
