Key Details
The Case For and Against the Arteck
The Arteck delivers the core benefit of a split ergonomic keyboard -- each hand positioned at a more natural angle -- with 2.4G wireless connectivity and an included palm rest at a price below most alternatives.
The problem is the ratings. Its share of the lowest ratings is the second highest in this review, and that is a real signal. For a keyboard used occasionally or for a few hours a day, that risk is manageable. For a keyboard used as your primary work tool, it is harder to justify when the wired Perixx PERIBOARD-512B costs a similar amount, has a much larger buyer base, and removes wireless from the equation. Consider the Arteck if budget and wireless connectivity are both non-negotiable requirements.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Wireless split design with palm rest at a competitive price point
- 2.4G wireless connectivity through a USB dongle
Cons
- Its share of the lowest ratings is the second highest in this review
- Smaller buyer base than top picks -- far less buyer history than the Perixx
Bottom Line
Consider the Arteck Split Ergonomic if you specifically need a wireless split keyboard at a budget price. The split design and included palm rest cover the ergonomic basics, but its share of the lowest ratings is the second highest in this review. If a wired connection is acceptable, the Perixx PERIBOARD-512B is the stronger choice for the same price range with far more buyer validation.
