Incase Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard – Designed by Microsoft – Split Keyset Design, Palm Rest, Contoured Layout, One-Touch Windows Button, AES 128-Bit Encryption, Includes Separate Number Pad – Black

I've been using the Microsoft version for... a long time. I was anticipating this re-release by Incase since mine started to show early signs of failure. And they delivered: Great compact layout allowing ample room for the mouse. Same moderate curvature I've come to appreciate. Pretty good typing experience. Changes that I noticed are minor: The USB A key is shorter and the dongle comes stored near batteries. Audio shortcuts moved over to the right row. New logo. It's difficult to compare materials after years of use but they seem about the same. New features could have been nice but no particular complaint.

When you spend most of your time sitting in front of a computer your chair, keyboard, monitor and pointing device become huge quality of life factors. For me the Sculpt keyboard is unsurpassed in its usability and comfort. The size is just right (not too big/heavy and not too small/flimsy). The button clicks are satisfying and the ergonomic position of the hands will reduce strain on your aging body. My first Sculpt served me nicely for 5+ years until frequent travel and being pressed into the suitcase over and over has finally destroyed it. I'm looking forward to the next 5 years with this one and are thinking about stock piling 2 or 3 more of these so I won't have to worry about them going out of production before I'm ready to retire.

I used the Microsoft version of this for about 10+ years or more and it was the best thing to happen to my work flow that I've just about ever done. When my MS version crapped out on me a few months back I was heartbroken to see that MS wasn't making it anymore and the Incase version was on back order. Switching to a different company had me worried that it would not be the same or work as well but let me say, there is no need to worry if you are like me and wanting a MS replacement. This thing is exactly the same and works just as well as the original. I'm half tempted to buy another just to store away for when the time comes to replace this one.

Identical in appearance to Sculpt but there are performance and customer service issues. I had to replace my sculpt after many years as the spacebar was getting flaky. The Incase version is so identical to the Sculpt that it came with a non working spacebar out of the box 😢. OK, it does work about 2/3 of the time but missing about 1/3 of the spaces is a huge issue. They dir3ct you outside of Amazon for support so I followed their links and wrote their support email to ask for help within the return window on June 23 and they only responded to me on July 2, a full 9 days later, when the return window conveniently (for them) had expired. Their response was a recommendation that I email them at the exact same email address I wrote to the first time. So now I have a $157 keyboard that works great if I don’t need to tyoe spaces. Beware any company that overrides Amazon’s support by directing you to their own support site if response times are not quick as this is nit the only seller that will lag on the reply until a return is nit possible. The circular instructions to keep emailing the same address are also a huge red flag. Cannot recommend this company.

Great keyboard. The best I have got so far. I own one of these for some years now and I'm very happy with it. This one I bought to my wife, who loved it. The battery lasts long (something about 4-6 months - 2 aaa batteries (main keyboard) + 1 CR2430 (numeric keypad)), and I use it everyday. The typing is very smooth
