ProtoArc Full Size Ergo Keyboard with Wrist Rest

I had previously bought the smaller version of the this keyboard, I really loved it so much. It’s very fluid to type one, so much so that I had quickly adapted to the ergonomics. It feels very comfortable and of high quality materials, quite a solid keyboard! Even the product packaging is quality, somewhat resembles that of Apple’s packaging. The keyboard is thoughtfully designed for all day comfort, key layout, and sleek feeling and appearance. I can appreciate the key stroke of these keys, just the right amount of travel for a quick engagement of the key, but with an intentional tactile press of the key. I have nerve damage in my right hand, and often have difficulty hitting the keys to the far right just beyond the letter keys, such as backspace or any of the punctuation, my pinky has not much feeling in it, so I loose placement of where it’s at. The smaller version of this same keyboard allowed me to better reach the keys on the right (arrow pad, backspace, etc.); the smaller one compacts all those keys closer together (thoughtfully placed), however they had to get rid of a few common used keys to make up for the compact form (like “Delete” and the cluster of “home” thru “end” keys. But they can be found in the number pad while using “numlock”.So in the end I decked to get the full size keyboard listed here, and even though it’s too late to return the smaller keyboard, I’m still happy with my purchase. I can keep the smaller one as a backup or for my wife or gift it (probably going to keep it though!). I also loved the Prot-arc products so much that I bought all three versions of the ergonomic LED trackball mouses! I love them all so much that it’s tearing me apart to decide which to keep! Before getting a Proto-arc keyboard, I had the expensive Microsoft “ergo” wireless keyboard 6000 (with all the shortcut buttons). I got fed up with how big and bulky it was, and just plain uncomfortable. The shortcut buttons just didn’t make up for all that I didn’t like about that keyboard. I still have it as a backup, but now that I have two Proto-arcs I might try selling the Microsoft keyboard. I’m super happy with my new keyboards and I don’t regret my purchase at all and won’t go back to the other keyboards. I really can’t say enough and love all of the Proto-arc products I have bought. I’m an engineer so I spend A LOT of time at my computers and these products are very well designed and made in my professional opinion. Also, the battery life is really great for all my products. I definitely use the keyboard backlight, I keep it at medium brightness level at all times, and yet the internal battery lasts so long before needing a charge. As well you can still use any of their rechargeable products while they are charging. In my last picture, you can get a side-by-side comparison of the full-size and compact keyboards as well the key layout difference. And yes, I bought these with my own money and have no affiliation with the company, I’m too busy for all that writing reviews all the time. I did for these products only because I’m just a BIG fan of them and they deserve the shoutout for having such great products! Just give it a try and you will see for yourself.

This the only type of keyboard I use, for me it is more comfortable and the way it is designed helps with my wrists and gives you options to have it tilted front or back or both, it is surprisingly light and I have only had to charge it twice since I have had it.

I have used the Microsoft Sculpt for years but it suddenly quadrupled in price. I can't use a flat keyboard, and this one fit the bill.Some of the keys are in places that I'm not used to, which is only really a problem because I still have a Sculpt in the office. The battery life is good and it's stayed connected to the laptop wirelessly. When the battery needed to be charged, I could connect a cable to simultaneously charge and use it.I prefer taller keys, but I learned to type on an actual typewriter (get off my lawn!)

I really do like this keyboard well-made easy to use very portable. I like to connect it to my iPad and my television when I need to type anything lengthy.Design:Very good design

This keyboard met every need I had. I was looking for something very specific and it met all those requirements!!!! I wanted: ergonomic design, easy to use/reach media controls (this has pause/play, skip forward/backwards & volume buttons and that is a big deal to me), the ability to connect via Bluetooth only and not be dependent on a dongle (this has BOTH options!) You can connect to 3 different devices with this keyboard, which is so cool to me. I needed it to be fairly light weight, but durable since I do a lot of work and gaming in my lap. It has a very decent battery life, especially since I am terrible at remembering to turn it off. The power switch is on the back, but it easy to use (it is not overly stiff, or too small to use). It has 4 feet. FOUR FEET!!! Which means I can adjust the height and angle I need to best suit my carpal tunnel. The rest pad is large, but not too squishy, and I like that it is attached and there is no chance to break it off by accident. The keys i was worried I would hate, bc I prefer clunky loud keys, but these low profile ones actually have decent spring back and they don't feel to squishy if that makes sense. The backlight is around the keys and not in the letters, but even with my poor eyesight, it is still enough light to make out the letters in poor lighting situations so I am okay with that. I also like that the cord to charge it is a regular USB C (I think that is what is called.) It is the same cord my android phone uses. You can also still use it while it is plugged in and charging.My only ONE issue with this laptop is that it does not have replaceable batteries. I have no idea how long this amazing keyboard will last for. i wish it had replaceable batteries so I don't have to replace it. Fingers crossed I get a decent battery and it will last me a long while. I absolutely LOVE and recommend this keyboard.

I was so happy to get this keyboard as I love the split style. It worked great until two and a half months later the bluetooth function no longer works and it won't connect to my computer unless I use the USB plug in. However, even using the USB it does not work well, it will double or triple type the letters and there is a lag in the time it takes to show what I have typed. Very disappointed and now I am out the money I spent on this keyboard.

This is a nice ergonomic keyboard. The design created the best comfort for typing. The pricing is great for the value.

I really liked the keyboard. It occassionally would disconnect but a click of of the boothtooth button brought it back. My main issues is that a Key broke clean off in less than 6 months. It had such a tiny piece of plastic that broke off so it couldnt be put back on. Kind of expensive for less than 6 months. I tried to contact the company using the phone number that Amazon provided for support but no one answered the phone.
