I am a 23-year transcriptionist. I have used the Natural ergonomic keyboard for years. It is too big and bulky for my keyboard. So, it was time to change. The sculpt looked perfect, and absolutely was until about an hour into typing. The palm rest is like placing your wrists on metal.

I have been using this product for several months - and have been happy with it for the most part. I LOVE the keyboard - very comfortable to use. But I use the number keypad way more than I realized and I don't like having it separate from the keyboard.

Microsoft refreshes its split board ergonomic range with a superbly engineered piece of kit, but still a challenging one

I bought this to replace my old full-sized MS Ergonomic keyboard. I don't regret the purchase, because it's so much more comfortable to be able to place the mouse closer to the home row.

Ergonomic layout; Spit space bar is nice; Separate numpad allows you to keep mouse closer to the keyboard, reducing shoulder/nerve strain

The function keys are horrible; there's no sugar-coating it

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG... why did I put off buying this. It's worth every cent. I was getting sore arms and wrists using my old traditional style keyboard and mouse. Being the cheapo that I am I constantly put off ordering this expensive setup but knew I wanted it.

The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop keyboard and mouse are well-designed wireless peripherals with dedicated Windows controls. Here's our Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop review.

I bought this keyboard to replace an old wireless keyboard and mouse set that stopped working. The keyboard is very comfortable but the mouse may be difficult to use. The separate number pad is difficult to open. It uses a tight plastic screw that may break if you're not careful.

Pleasing to use but having to retype a word here and there because a 100$ keyboard cannot handle more than 60 words a minute is unacceptable to me. I would buy it if I was typing extremely slowly, but then again if I was, I'd probably not be using a keyboard for 8 hours a day and I wouldn't need...

Ergonomically pleasing mouse is oddly shaped but seems to be helping straighten the wrist in a comfortable grip; Probably the best part of the bundle

Mistypes continuously (forgets to apply shift to capitalize some letters if you type at a normal pace, alt-shift misregistering when you try to change keyboard language); The usual answer found on forums is to smack the keyboard to unstick keys (typically F2) because of a bad mechanical design.

While it isn't cheap, the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop's stylish and comfortable design, simple setup, and solid typing experience make it worth the price tag.

Stylish design; Comfortable typing experience; Function-key toggle; Only one USB dongle needed for mouse; keyboard; and numeric pad

Pricey; Split keyboard takes some getting used to

Don't waste your time with buying this product. After purchasing it, you then have to purchase the USB in order to actually make it a wireless system!
