Very comfortable keyboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this keyboard to replace a Microsoft Natural 4000 Keyboard. Initially, I had connectivity issues when setting up and while using the keyboard. The keyboard would sleep often and wouldn't wake up. It wasn't until a co-worker recommended that I try purchasing a separate Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) dongle. Once I did, I was golden. The keyboard was a lot more responsive. What I especially like about this keyboard is how comfortable it is to type on. Personally, I prefer soft keys. However, if you're a keyboard masher who prefers stiff (mechanical) keys, then this keyboard won't be for you. There are a several things I dislike about this keyboard, which prevented me from giving this 5 stars: * It would have been nice if Microsoft included a Bluetooth LE dongle so that I wouldn't have had to purchase one on my own. * I know this keyboard was really intended for the Surface; however, it would be nice if this keyboard came in multiple colors, especially black, so that I would match the rest of my system. * I'm not a fan of the Fn (function) key. As an application developer who relies heavily on keyboard shortcuts, I use my function keys often as well as the shortcut keys for things like adjusting the volume. I hate having to toggle the Fn button just to perform certain tasks. I feel that Microsoft should have kept those buttons separate. * I feel that there should have been more spacing for the keys on the right side of the keyboard similar to the Natural 4000. I use the Insert, Home, Delete, End, arrow keys, and 10-key very often. Although I don't seem to experience issues with the positioning of the 10-key, I do tend to press the wrong key when reaching for the Insert, Home, Delete, End, and arrow keys. Before, I could press any of them without looking at the keyboard. Now, I actually have to look down just to make sure I'm pressing the correct key since the keys are so close to the Backpace, Right-shift, and Right-Ctrl keys. If it weren't for these shortcomings, which are all based on my personal opinions, I would have given this keyboard the 5 stars it truly deserves. If the issues I experienced are non-issues for you, then I highly recommend this keyboard. The moment Microsoft releases a black version of this keyboard (if they do), I won't hesitate to buy that as a replacement.

A Wonderful Keyboard
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Surface Ergonomic Keyboard is interesting. Even though the body is made from plastic the materials look and feel nice. The cloth material on the wrist rest is soft and smooth. I have seen pictures of some keyboards that look like they have been discolored by dirt and sweat. I haven't had mine that long but have not noticed any discoloration. Surface Ergonomic Keyboard is easy to type on. I have found that I type better because of the way the keys are separated and how my wrists rest on it. Key travel is excellent and relatively quiet. I use this keyboard with an HO Omen, and it synced easily. I would recommend the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard to anyone.

1 inch short of perfect 5 stars!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This keyboard is awesome! I get complimented every day on it! The force of the buttons make it real smooth and very quite! If you bang your keys this keyboard will make it seem like you are typing on clouds. The only design flaw is that the arrow keys are too close the the 10key pad and the CTRL key! Sometimes i press ZERO when pressing the right arrow or CTRL when pressing the left arrow key. Other than that it is an awesome!!

Mostly good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Starting with the good here, the keyboard is just as good looking in real life as it is in the pictures. Connecting it to my laptop (not a Surface) was painless. The Alcantara material is nice to the touch and comfortable. Battery life seems good and the ergonomic design has alleviated some of the pain I was experiencing from tendonitis caused by overwork with heavy lifting. Now for the bad, there was a manufacturing issue (I think) with my keyboard. The space bars, there are two separate buttons on this keyboard, both seem to have never had their springs working. From box opening, the keys have laid nearly flat against the surface and are extremely sensitive. Even a light brush of piece of paper being drawn across them will set it off. In the picture, you can see the comparatively low profile of the space bar key. I have compensated for this, but it's really annoying, especially for a $130.00 product. Further, the keyboard occasionally shuts down and restarts itself, right in the middle of me using it. I can confirm that the product shuts down because the Bluetooth connection stops with the PC and the lights on the device, such as the numlock device, turn off as well. All in all, I cannot recommend this unit to another person.

Great Keyboard but bad MATERIAL
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had stains on the ALCANTARA material on the keyboard after month and a half. I went back no help. Now its been a little more than 5 months and the keyboard looks disgusting. NOTE: the stains are from resting wrist on it only. I use it at work only and now I feel bad because it looks bad. please fix or change.

Life Changing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot explain enough how much I love this keyboard. I have worked on a laptop for years and after a shoulder injury in the fall, realized that I am too restricted with the laptop keyboard and that I needed something more ergonomic. A few things. I am 48, I am only 5 feet tall and I have small hands and I wanted a keyboard with a number pad. I tried my husband's wavy keyboard and did not like it. I ordered two different Logitech keyboards that had great reviews. One I sent back and I gave one to my 14 year old. It was a larger keyboard and had a wrist rest, which was very uncomfortable for me. After nearly giving up I looked at this keyboard and then my husband suggested this one. I also wanted a bluetooth keyboard. My new HP laptop does not have enough USB ports to support a regular wireless keyboard, so BT was imperative (unless you have a USB hub, bluetooth is best). The first day I was unsure if I liked it, but decided to give it a couple of days before making a final decision. This keyboard is amazing. First, it's stylish. Next, it FEELS good. The keys and the wrist rest feel wonderful and the wrist pad is not bulky like other keyboards. The keys are also not set close together like a lot of keyboards, which makes typing easier in my opinion. For what it is worth, my hubby used it for a day and wanted to like it and did not. The wrist pad did NOT work for him and made his hand go numb. He also did not like the placement of a few other keys. Who knew keyboard decisions were so subjective? I write a lot of reviews, but rarely on tech items, but really wanted to say how much I love this keyboard. It is very much worth the money.

Q: QuestionWhy is this keyboard in this shape?
Asked by SaraDaniela.
- A:Answer Hi there, This is the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard. It is shaped to help with the natural stress or tension that may build up in the hands of some individuals when sitting and typing for a prolonged period of time. The keyboard curves in a way that is normal and natural for the position of the hand to be in, and can help relieve tension as a result! Hope this helps, Victoria Surface Customer Care

Q: Questioni got this keyboard 2 weeks ago & the batteries drained quickly. i just tried to replace them and it won't work at all. the light comes on when i pop new batteries in, but as soon as i turn it over to connect the light goes out. please help, thanks.
Asked by macuser.
- A:Answer I don't think your batteries are the problem, unless you couldn't get the keyboard to turn on at all. I would guess your keyboard went to sleep (idle) and you were unable to get it to connect to your computer, so you thought the batteries were drained. I am having a similar problem. I have to delete the keyboard from BT and re-pair to get it to work.
