One major drawback to the Sculpt’s design is the dongle that associates the keyboard to your PC is one of a kind. If you can live without it, the Sculpt still has a lot to offer.Įncrypted keystrokes, wireless technology, a detached numpad, a magnetic riser, and an ergonomic design make this keyboard a surefire winner. If it’s important to you, you might want to consider a different model. It’s important to note that our love of backlighting is also a matter of personal preference. It wouldn’t make a great deal of sense for the Sculpt to have backlighting since the two AAA alkaline batteries would drain significantly faster, but we sure did miss it. This is, in large part, thanks to its battery-powered design. Then the Sculpt is ready for use.īattery and Features: Backlighting missing, and just one dongle to rule them allīacklighting-we love it, but the Sculpt doesn’t have it. If you’re planning on using the detached numpad, don’t forget to also remove the slip of paper from its backside to active it. Then, take the provided dongle from the compartment and attach it to the USB port of your PC. Simply lift the lid off of the battery compartment on the backside of the unit and remove the slip of paper that separates the two AAA batteries.
Setting the Microsoft Sculpt up is simple. This intuitive, split design combined with the wrist pad help your wrists, hands, and shoulders sit at a neutral, natural angle in order to alleviate repetitive stress injuries that frequent typists are prone to over time. The Sculpt employs a standard layout with a fabric wrist pad at the front for extra comfort. It’s largely made with plastic and has a bit of a clacky sound as you type. Its keys vary in size, with those nearest to the split being slightly wider than those on the outer edges of the keyboard.
The two halves of the keyboard sweep outwards and downwards creating an empty, raised space in the center of its swoop design. The Sculpt is an ergonomic keyboard with a split design akin to that of a manta ray. As with anything new, it took a period of adjustment, but we found it relatively quick thanks to the intuitive, easy-to-use design. From the manta ray style folds, which keep shoulders and hands at a relaxed, comfortable angle, to the detached numpad and magnetized risers for increased customization options when you want them, the Sculpt is quite the package. You can tell Microsoft put a considerable amount of thought into the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard’s design.
