Key Details
Why the Ratings Are the Deciding Factor
The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard looks strong on paper. It has a split dome-key design for wrist comfort, a sleek footprint that is compact for an ergonomic keyboard, a separate number pad, and an integrated wrist cushion. If you evaluated this keyboard purely on its design, it would be a compelling option. The problem is its ratings.
Its share of the lowest ratings is the highest in this review, and that is the main reason for the Skip. At the price the Sculpt commands, that is a poor value equation when the Logitech K350 Wave has strong feedback from a much larger buyer base and the Perixx PERIBOARD-512B provides a wired split design with a wrist rest at a lower price. Skip the Sculpt and spend the same money on a keyboard with a stronger feedback record.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine split design with dome keys and an integrated wrist cushion
- Sleek and compact design compared to most ergonomic keyboards
- Wireless connectivity with separate number pad included
Cons
- The largest share of the lowest ratings in this review
- Hard to justify at its price given its ratings record
Bottom Line
Skip the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic. The split design is genuine, but its share of the lowest ratings is the highest in this review. The Logitech K350 Wave and Perixx PERIBOARD-512B both have a stronger feedback record in this review.
