I have been through 2 of the Sculpt keyboards in just 3 years, whereas my 4000 ones lasted about twice that long (5 or 6 years, but the last one died after a coworker spilled a coffee on it).ģ.
The wrist rest is smaller, but it does still have a support to give it some negative tilt if you used that on the 4000. The Sculpt is nice but is LESS durable than the 4000 and the key stroke feel is mushy and shorter. They were more painful than a standard keyboard.Ģ. Horrible key movement, with plasticky feeling keystrokes and the they stop working quite often. I have a coworker that has purchased some of those for people to try and save a few bucks and they are complete garbage. Do not buy anything with Adesso in the name. Might be worth some consideration, as most folks I know who liked the ergonomic keyboards, moved to it and loved it.Having used (and worn out) 3 Microsoft 4000 keyboards and I'm on my 2nd Microsoft Sculpt keyboard, I feel I can relate to the OP and his dilemma. But not everyone is a fan of the ortholinear layout and having a true "split" board. With proper switches, they'll last you at least twice as long as a regular off the shelf keyboard and with good keycaps might be a great fit. I only just retired it because I broke the USB port on it and need to repair it.īut when thinking about it, Ergodox come to mind. I still have my first mechanical switch keyboard from the late 2000's and it still works to this day despite being backpacked and carried with me everywhere.
Once I switched to mechanical keys, I hate going back to rubber domes and cheap keyboards that keys eventually start to bind up and stick throwing my typing cadence off. My hands don't hurt at the end of the day, and I type 65-70wpm on average, bursting to 120-140 (with a 94% accuracy). 2- has Cherry MX Blue mechanical keys and works best for my style of typing. Currently I use a Redragon (non-backlit) something or another, because 1- it was the cheapest mech board on amazon. I hated the "natural", "wave", and "ergo" keyboards, they made me feel weird when using them.
#MICROSOFT ERGONOMIC KEYBOARD 4000 FOR MAC PROFESSIONAL#
They're just tech toys and nothing more, and extremely unsuitable for use in a professional environment.įor OP: I unfortunately don't have any "normal" recommendations. Not only are you going to feel the end of a long day in your joints from pounding your finger tips into the desk surface, but they're horrifically inaccurate, and are a mere gimmick at best. ShelbyZttop Even if they were ergo - Laser keyboards are trash. I searched for virtual or laser keyboards but non of them were ergonomic. Good to know that the K860 is a popular choice, though. I have a wireless one similar to it (think it's discontinued now), and It was more than comfortable for my larger hands. Another Logitech option would be the K860. From what I know, it has larger keys, so it could be a potential option. I've personally always been a Logitech fan, and it looks like that the K350 would fit pretty well. As for finger comfort, I have a similar sized ring finger and I have had no issues typing on the Sculpt or the K860 whenever I have to work on their computers, but then again I don't them use all day. I have a couple of people using the Microsoft Sculpt and another using the Logitech K860 - their users rave about them both though the Sculpt seems to go through batteries more often than the K860. The K350 is basically a straight keyboard, with the keys that the longer fingers rest on being lower than the the rest of the keys it does nothing for the wrists. In preparation of it eventually giving out, I had her try a Logitech K350 - she couldn't stand it. I have a user addicted to her Microsoft 4000 keyboard.
I appreciate all of the information from everyone and am still on the search. Didn't like the disjoined number pad for one. I have also tried one from logitech with no liking and I had one of the wireless keyboards from microsoft (ergonomic one) but never took the time to get used too it. I have tried the latest one from Microsoft thinking it would be good, keys are smaller, I make more mistakes so it takes me longer to type things because of fixing mistakes and since the keys are smaller doesn't mean my fingers are smaller so keys are not exactly where they need to be, also all of the keys do not seem to work all the time. If I could have found something else I would have stuck with whatever would be comfortable to me yet so far no product I have tried has been as good or even comfortable. Another product would be fine but the way the 4000 is build it has bigger keys than other ergonomic keyboards and the key placement is perfect for sausage finger people. Hi Repairatrooper, I have gone through 10 of them from use age and they get lots of use.
