Work just right for our needs. Read more

Works great. It came well packaged for shipment amd arrived quickly. It was easy to follow the instructions and only took a couple minutes to set up in total. The keys are not loose or sloppy. The click of the buttons is satisfying and feels good. We appreciate the wrist guard and the adjustable tilt for comfort. The printing on the keyboard is clean and clear. Everything is readable. There was nonodor to this item or its packaging. We have had no problems with this keyboard and we highly recommend it to others. Budget friendly, durable and quality made and Bluetooth compatible.

I picked this up to replace a smallish wireless keyboard that I've been using on my desktop, mainly because I wanted a full size keyboard, and really didn't need wireless connectivity, especially not enough to warrant dealing with batteries and all. It's been a long time since I've used a curved "natural" style keyboard like this. Like, at least a decade, maybe two! lol It's taking me a little time to get used to the curved layout again, but overall the keyboard has a really nice premium look and feel. The padded rest along the front edge is super nice. It's firm enough that it doesn't feel like a "pillow", but at the same time soft enough to offer a lot of added comfort. It has a great texture too that feels nice. I do notice that the padded area sort of retains heat and feels warm after using it a bit. The key travel is somewhat short, but has a nice tactile feel, and is super quiet. Typing on this keyboard is much quieter than most I've had. I like the programmable function keys, but the default assignments are perfectly fine for me and probably most others as well. If not, it's quick and easy to change them with HP Accessory Center from the Microsoft Store. I like the white LED indicators for Caps Lock and Fn Lock. I do with they had included one for Num Lock as well, as there is no indicator for that. The fold out feet and rubber pads on the bottom allow to keyboard to sit nicely on the desk at whatever angle you like best, without sliding around. Overall, it feels like a better keyboard than I was expecting. If I can get accustomed to the curved layout I'm sure it will become my favorite rather quickly! Read more

While not specifically mentioned on the website, this is a membrane keyboard. The ergonomic design is a great feature, and the keys are widely spaced to help reduce accidentally hitting the wrong key. The programmable F keys are a nice feature, though it requires installation of HP software. I like how this keyboard has a split space bar, and also has a dictation button above the backspace key. The built in wrist rest is ok, though it would be nice if it was removeable, though it would be hard to find a substitute wrist support given the curved shape. The different foldout feet also add to the versatility, though I prefer the flat set-up. I found it odd that this keyboard does not have any illumination, which I thought was almost universal these days. Also, at $50, it's on the slightly more expensive side for a membrane keyboard, though it's an HP product so I think that plays a factor. Overall a very nice keyboard that I prefer over other membrane options, but for about $25 more, I think I prefer my linear mechanical keyboard that seems more comfortable and consistent for heavy duty keyboarding.

I do have a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard that I picked up used, so I thought I'd get this for comparison. Perhaps take it to the office as use it there. It's very well made, very solid. The keys have a soft but solid click and push to them. It's largely, but not completely quiet while typing. There is a soft clickity clack. The wrist rest is soft and has just a very little give to it. The riser feet feel thick and solid. The Microsoft keyboard has a separate keypad. Like, two different devices. I like that the keypad is attached to this keyboard. This keyboard is also wired, and Microsoft's is wireless. This keyboard also has a function I don't quite get. It has flaps to angle it, like most keyboards do, the numbers higher than the space bar, say. But it also has flaps/risers to raise it the other way. So that the space bar/wrist rest is much higher than the top/number row. Not really sure how that's supposed to be used. My best guess is perhaps if you're standing at a standing desk and maybe the desk is a little lower than you're used to? At any rate, I'm typing that way now and honestly, and strangely, it isn't that uncomfortable. Well, one problem I have with my Microsoft Ergonomic is that even after a couple years, I still haven't really gotten used to it and I'm -constantly- making typing mistakes compared to a regular flat keyboard. Constantly, it's quite frustrating. And this HP keyboard is even worse. It's even harder for me to get used to and I'm making even more typing mistakes. Like, every other or every third word. I'm not going to take a star off for that (although I kind of want to). But everyone will have to adjust to it coming from either a regular non-ergonomic keyboard or from a different ergonomic keyboard, and other people may adjust better than I have. Hopefully I'll get more used to it as time goes on. I suppose that can't really be helped, if you want to curve the keyboard, the keys will have to shift, and the hands will have to learn new key positions. I will say this- after using ergonomic keyboards for a while, when I go back to a regular keyboard and have to type anything substantial, after a few minutes my wrists do start to hurt. So I do believe an ergonomic keyboard can be more healthy for your wrist position when typing. Update 10.2024 - So I've been using the keyboard for a while now and I'm, noticing- I'm getting a LOT of stuck and repeating keys, long delays between me typing and stuff showing up on the screen, things of that nature. It was happening before but I didn't really realize how prevalent it actually is. And it's been on two different laptops. Some of this kind of thing is common with wireless keyboards, especially when there's signal interference or when the batteries get low. But on a wired keyboard? I can't say I've ever seen that happen. I've tried a couple different usb ports and a couple different laptops. But the issues persists: I'll hit a key quickly but it will repeat a dozen or so times; I'll start typing but there's up to a 10 second delay before letters show up on the keyboard. Maybe half a dozen or so instances as I've been typing reviews for the last 45 minutes or so. That's a lot. I'll keep testing and come back and update again if I come across anything. But 'as-is' I have to take a couple stars off. 2nd update- No, the issue is still happening. I've tried several different workstations in my office, where my keyboard is plugged into a dock which is plugged into my work laptop. I get delays and sticking over several different docks (although the dock company and model number is the same). Am kinda disappointed. Read more
