Arteck Wireless Ergonomic Split Keyboard

I was looking for a new keyboard after my small children pried off and lost a key cap. Yay. This one has everything I was looking for – it was easy to get used to, and more comfortable than my previous keyboard! I love that everything is built in for comfort, and the key caps are inset so tiny fingers can’t pry them off. I can’t speak to longevity yet, but the charge holds well and everything functions properly upon receipt.

I was pretty sad when Microsoft discontinued the SCULPT, however the SCULPT had a pretty bad wireless connection at times and it really detracted from how well the keyboard was built. I needed to replace the SCULPT and this Arteck does the job really well. The wireless connector is really good with no lag or missed inputs. It is comfy and does a good job. If you are a Mac user, know that you cannot change the numlock on this and you need to setup the Ctrl button to work properly in the keyboard menu. The arrow keys are also a bit crowded, but you get used to them. One final thing, it has an internal chargeable battery which has a long life, but it will mean this keyboard will likely not be usable wirelessly when the battery degrades. Still, 5/5 ergo split keyboard and better than the Sculpt.

I love this keyboard! It’s just the right size, even with the 10-key attached. I love the feel of the keys and the ergonomics are perfect. The only thing I wish it had was a button for the calculator…there isn’t one. I saw that another reviewer mentioned that the keys are noisy, but I don’t find that to be true on mine. My keys are pretty quiet. I would purchase again.

I have had the Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for the last 2 years, but the keys had started to fade and wanted to update. This keyboard is a smaller and lighter so makes it a lot more mobile, also has the advantage of being wireless. The keys are not as raised so gives a nice experience when typing, and not as loud. Has great access and lock buttons for easy access to mail etc. Feels really durable and the wrist support is lovely and soft. This was on promotion so was really great value for money.

Keyboard is amazing! It’s really helped with my carpel tunnel. I lost the USB receiver also and after reaching out they are sending me a free USB Receiver Replacement for the one I lost. They were quick to respond, helpful, and friendly.

I’ve only been using this for a day, so I can’t speak about battery life. It is rechargeable, and it has an on-off switch for saving the battery when I’m not using it, so I don’t know what more I could ask for on that front. Likes: the main keyboard is definitely ergonomic and feels comfortable; the key action is not silent, which I actually like, and the scissor action switches underneath the keys feels good to me; the keyboard is about 1.5″ narrower than my previous keyboard (Logitech Ergo K860) because the number pad is right next to the regular part of the keyboard, and the usual keys in between have been rearranged. Most of these changes will just require the user to get used to the new positions. However, the Home, End, Pgup and Pgdn keys are now Function keys, piggybacking on the arrow keys, and that may cause more trouble for people who use those a lot (I don’t, so I don’t mind it). Dislikes: experience has shown me that dust and crud get into the space between the wrist pad and the rest of the keyboard. On my old keyboard, I could remove the wrist pad using some tiny screws in the back, and take the pad out for thorough cleaning. With this keyboard I won’t be able to do that, so time will tell how aggravating that will be. Maybe I’ll have to take it down to my shop and blow out the crud with the air compressor (joking, probably not a good idea). Overall, not quite 5 stars, but close. If it lasts better than the Logitech, I may come back and put in that last star.
