CHERRY KC 4500 ERGO, Ergonomic Keyboards, German Layout (QWERTZ), Wired, Padded Palm Rest with Memory Foam, Curved Keypad, White-Grey

This keyboard is almost identical to the Kensington Pro-Fit Ergo wireless keyboard but has a few major advantages.1. It's not wireless! I'm so sick of the intermittent unreliability of the wireless connection. Every small under-voltage from the batteries and who-knows-what other interference made the wireless keyboard very unreliable and infuriating. A cable is always more reliable and no more changing batteries.2. It's a nicer feel and easy to type on.3. it's a little quieter.This is so much better than before and is keeping me sane! A lovely keyboard at a very reasonable price.

Being a Cherry keyboard I had high hopes for this one and it is a good keyboard, but has some niggles which means ultimately I am changing it after about a year of putting up with it.Pros:- Nice soft keys with a good feel when typing- small keyboard footprint - some ergonomic keys have massive casings which take up half your desk - this one is compact enough it doesn't take up much space, but the keys are still ergonomically spacedYou Decide:- The keys are virtually silent (some people lick clicky, mechanical keyboards, some like them quiet)Cons - there are a few but none are huge:- The windows lock key is just above the backspace key which means I keep hitting it in error, locking my computer. I know I only have to unlock it, but it's problematic when typing notes in a video call, and at other times interrupts the flow of work. Other keyboards have them but in a recess or offset to prevent accidental presses, this keyboard doesn't. This is the most annoying problem of all of them- Key tops can't be removed to clean the keys and keyboard if they get gunk in them (are you an eater when working - I am so like to remove the stale crumbs etc when they get to be a health hazard)- Every so often, it acts like the space bar is stuck down and adds hundreds of spaces until I press a button. Annoying, and may be related to me not being able to clean it- I have this with many keyboards but worth mentioning - I can never work out whether 'function lock' is on and whether I need to press it to get the 'F' keys or their other function (seriously, why can't there be another row of buttons rather than the annoying function keys)Ultimately, it's an okay keyboard, but not amazing, and enough cons for me that I need to change it after trying it out for a year

Cheap and cheerful, very compact. Ideal if you have a small desk.Weirdly it slopes away from you, legs are in the front of the keyboard. Wife likes it though…

If this keyboard was a no name brand it would be a 1 star review, for a Cherry keyboard it was even more disappointing. The key action is horrible, the Win+Lock key is so close to the Return key I was constantly hitting it when typing. Keys often became stuck down/jammed. Avoid.

I am very happy with the keyboard as my wrists are not sore any more

Took me a while to get used to the angle but I could probably handle that. But they keys get stuck all the damned time. This started happening within a few months. It just presses the letter for ages. I'll go back to a lower angle of keys and I'll buy a more expensive brand.

I bought this to replace a worn out Microsoft Sculpt. It's been "OK", but some keys stick, they are very uneven - some require more of a shove, others stick down sometimes. I thought it would even out after a bit of use, but... I think I'll be going back to a sculpt and keeping this as a "spare" again.
