Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop review

Microsoft's Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop keyboard and mouse bundle eschew compactness for improved comfort and functionality. Not only do these peripherals look good, you'll feel better using them.

On the whole, both the mouse and keyboard work as advertised in Windows 7 and 8. All we have to do is turn on our computer, plug in the dongle into our computer’s USB port, power on the mouse, and voilà!

Save your wrists from future pain with this Microsoft ergonomic keyboard-and-mouse combo

It takes a little time to adjust to the new layout of the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop, but trust us, your joints will thank you.

The ; is a simple split-key keyboard with integrated shortcut keys and a spherical mouse, designed to take undue weight off your wrists.

Split keyboards are an acquired taste, setup takes up a lot of desktop space, and some users will lament the glossy shell on the mouse that attracts sticky fingers and fingerprints.

Whether you're already noticing early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome or just want to get started on prevention, the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is a cost-effective, well-thought-out solution that puts a healthy posture at your fingertips.

There was a time when secretaries, data input professionals, and stenographers were generally the only ones who suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive strain injuries. Fast-forward a few decades and everyone's posture is out of...

Live la vida wireless with these slick Windows 8-optimized keyboards and mice

Ditch the tangled mess and go wireless with cool new peripherals that sport a dongle rather than a wire.

Mouse is comfortable to hold and use for long periods of time ; All devices work off one USB receiver ; Long battery life

Separate number pad is easy to misplace ; Typing ergonomically can involve a difficult learning curve

Review: Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop

Microsoft's latest ergonomic set brings a stylish trio of keyboard, mouse and keypad to your desk. But at $130, will the strain on your wallet be worth the relief Microsoft promises for your wrists?

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Review: Your Hands Will Thank You

Microsoft's newest ergonomic keyboard - the latest in eight years - makes ergonomic keyboards look cool for the first time. But does it actually work better for your hands? Luckily for you, this reviewer has a bad wrist and is quite qualified to try it...

Design makes this the coolest ergonomic keyboard yet ; Scissor keys feel better than previous mushy keys ; Smaller shape makes for smaller footprint ; Gap in the middle is firm and doesn't flex

Function switch makes using function keys difficult ; Mouse never gets fully comfortable

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop review

Microsoft's new desktop kit that's comfortable to use, and Windows 8-friendly

Solid build Batteries included One USB dongle for all Ergonomic design

Expensive Mouse isn't great Windows 8-centric features might be alienating

A solid, well-designed keyboard that can protect against RSI and is generally comfortable to use for long periods. It's just a shame about the mouse. The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is a good example of what Microsoft does best. It has a solid...
