I'm really impressed with this ProtoArc Ergonomic Keyboard! The full-size layout and split, curved keyframes have made a noticeable difference in my typing comfort. It’s designed to reduce muscle strain on the wrists and forearms, and the scooped keys feel natural under my fingertips, making typing effortless.The cushioned wrist rest is incredibly supportive, reducing wrist fatigue even after long hours of typing. Plus, the adjustable tilt feet let me find the perfect angle, which is great for both sitting and standing.The backlight feature is a nice touch, especially with its adjustable brightness levels. I can work comfortably in low-light environments without straining my eyes. The keyboard is super versatile too, with Bluetooth and 2.4G USB connectivity options, letting me easily switch between devices like my laptop, tablet, and computer.Charging is a breeze with the USB-C port, and the 2000mAh battery lasts a long time, even with the backlight on. The sleep mode after 60 minutes of inactivity is a handy feature for power-saving. Overall, this keyboard has greatly improved my typing experience, and I love how it enhances my workflow.

I've used a split keyboard for years, but I needed a little more wrist support. It is a lower than my old keyboard, but very comfortable to use. Very quiet and responsive, light to the touch. The keys placement is just a bit different from the old kb, and that has been my biggest learning curve. Overall, a great keyboard. Love the rose color.

I have been a long-time user of Logitech & Microsoft ergonomic keyboards. I am a creature of habit so I normally re-order what I already have been using for years. Unfortunately, it seems that Logitech and Microsoft have decided to re-engineer their products. I tried the Logitech Logi keyboard. Hated it. Some sort of weird wave where the front palm rest doesn't lie flat on the desk. No front tilt legs on the keyboard. Only back tilt feet. Not for me.I was hesitant to order ProtoArc because I had never seen the brand before. The keyboard was comfortable to use right away. There is a great feel to the keys. The palm rest is comfortable. The key spacing is wide like a standard keyboard. Key placement is good. The only real learning curve is the "fn" key is on the lower left corner between the "ctrl" & "Win" key. Just something to adjust to. I don't use the "fn" key much but changing the position of the "win" & "alt" by move them one key to the right requires some re-learning.Like most products now a days, the instructions are bare, but it was easy to find things. I am not sure if there are programmable keys like the logitech or not. Don't need them that often.I am on a Win11 PC. I hooked it up via bluetooth. Was easy to do. Don't plan to use it on multiple devices.The keyboard feels solid. Their manual did not indicate the warranty. Somewhere on the Amazon product page I saw where it said 2 years. I did not find anything from ProtoArc to verify that.Definitely would recommend it. I will look at other ProtoArc products in the future.

With Microsoft no longer offering ergonomic keyboards, I was looking for something for my home office that was as close as possible in layout to the MS Surface board I had at work after a mishap ruined my MS keyboard at home.When this ProtoArc Ergonomic Keyboard was offered for review, I jumped at it.What I have been using for the past month has been very impressive.PROS:1. My favourite part: The feel, responsiveness & layout of the keys. Simply put, they *feel* solid yet soft (if you are used to low profile keys) and the layout is incredibly comfortable, IF YOU ARE USED TO IT.(If you are not used to this type of layout, it does not take long to switch over - trust me. I hate change and had used traditional keyboards (and even my parent's typewriter) over the past 40 years. When given this style a couple of years ago, I found it difficult and frustrating at first. However, after a couple of days and taking my time (and lots typos), my well-aged fingers started finding their groove. A week later? I was typing faster on this style of layout then my old keyboard at the time. After a few weeks, my wrist pain was dramatically improved and my typing speed and accuracy was also better than ever. Just give it a real shot.2. The board itself has a stable chassis and good weight to it. I assume the weight is due to the internal batteries. I have been using it a month and other than topping off the charge when I first got it, I have not had to charge it again.3. The board has the typical *rear tilt legs* that most keyboards do but this one also incorporates the increasingly, essential *front tilt legs* to, well, lift the front of the keyboard instead of the rear. For me, this feature on keyboards has reduced wrist and forearm pain significantly in recent years.4. USB dongle (that stores on the back of the keyboard when *not* in use which is never nowadays) allows me to easily switch this keyboard between using it with my computer, or pressing a simple button on the top, right corner of the keyboard and switching it over so I can use it with our smart TV (for entering passwords or searching for shows, movies etc). I currently have the dongle plugged into the USB jack on the back of my smart TV - it picks up the signal from this keyboard when in use.CONS:None. (Yet.) As always, if anything changes, I will immediately come back and update this review.All the best,The Honest Review Family💯𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖𝐒💯 Rating Scale:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐= LOVE THIS!⭐⭐⭐⭐= Really good. Still recommended.⭐⭐⭐= Neutral. Typically has both good & bad points.⭐⭐= An overall disappointment.⭐= AWFUL. AVOID.

la couleur est vraiment belle, j'ai eu une adaptation , car j'utilisais les droits. mais une fois fait, c est vraiment le fun, en plus j'ai moins mal aux poignets ! juste pour ca ca en valait la peine .

I just got the keyboard. I have two das keyboards too. I have Model S Professional and the now discontinued 4C TKL. I wanted a ergonomic to go along with them. I had a Microsoft 4000 but it quit working.Coming from the 4000 I must say, this keyboard feels good. Connected right up to my TP-Link Bluetooth Dongle. My Logitech Master 3 mouse is connected to the dongle too, and is not effected.So far I'm liking the ProtoArc. Nice build quality, all the keys are working. I'm typing on it right now. I have no complaints so far. I'll do a update in several months after I have typed on it for some more. It's a nicely made keyboard. I have the das keyboards too. coming from to this keyboard has not been a problem. I'm used to working on laptops and S7 Tablet with keyboard case, so no big deal changing configurations. If you are looking for a good ergonomic keyboard, I believe the ProtoArc is worth the money.

I've been using a virtual desktop app in VR a lot lately for productivity, and I didn't really have a great solution for typing. Even with the use of the home keys, my old wireless keyboard made it difficult to get a sense of where my fingers were over its surface when I couldn't see it. It often led to moments of annoyance where I'd have to delete a typo and then keep making the same mistake several times in a row before I could adjust my positioning correctly. I was looking for a change, and I haven't used an ergonomic keyboard since the 90s, so I figured I'd give this one a shot. I put my order in, and didn't really think about it until it arrived.What showed up genuinely impressed me, even at first glance. The wine red has a nice matte finish, and the way the board is contoured where it splits in the middle immediately feels like a natural angle to work with. The leather wrist rest is soft, but not so thick as to be obtrusive like some other products are. The backlit keys are helpful for writing in the dark, and the way they're fanned out makes it easy to figure out what I'm about to write while my vision is obscured in VR. The ability to quickly switch between different devices via either the USB dongle or two Bluetooth channels makes it very convenient if you swap between different devices as often as I do.I've also found that unlike most other keyboards I've tested out, I haven't really had to make many changes to the way I type. It turns out that I've gotten into the habit of going for the B key with my right index finger and the Y key with my left, and that doesn't really work with this layout, but apart from that I haven't found a need to make any other changes to my typing style. Everything just feels natural right away, and it's already considerably easier on my wrists.As for complaints, I don't really have anything serious to worry about. I'm a little skeptical about the magnet holding the USB dongle to the back of the board when it's packed up, but it seemed to do its job well enough before I plugged it into my desktop. I also might have preferred a trackpoint nub for cursor movement rather than media controls, but that's probably just due to my particular use case. The keys themselves are a little louder than my old wireless board, but not by much. Other than that, I think it's one of the best-designed keyboards that I've ever used.I would also like to draw attention to the addition of a letter from the product designer included in the packaging. I haven't seen something that personal included with a computer peripheral before, and I was surprised at how genuine it seemed. Honestly, I can't help but wish the guy success, and given the quality of his creation here, I hope this endeavour is going well for him. Thanks for doing a great job, Howard!Overall, this is now my favourite keyboard by a long shot. It has convinced me to check out the store page for other products from this company, and that doesn't happen very often. I will be using this as my primary keyboard going forwards, and I'll be looking to buy more of this company's products once my finances recover from this holiday season.I absolutely recommend this product.

This a large, full sized keyboard made slightly bigger by its split, ergonomic design and built-in armrest. It is rechargeable with a built in battery and connects to your device wirelessly by either using its included USB dongle or by Bluetooth. The keyboard charges via USB-C (charging cable is included) on it’s top edge and has an indicator light that switches from red to green when full.The keyboard has a comfortable padded armrest which is built in and cannot be removed. The power switch is found on the rear of the unit. Also on the backside is a storage space for the included USB dongle where it is held in place magnetically. You have 4 feet on the rear that you can swing out so you can angle either the front or rear edge of the keyboard upwards. There are rubber pads on the back surface as well as on all the flip out feet.I connected this keyboard to an iPad using Bluetooth which was effortless. You can connect it to 2 Bluetooth devices as well as a USB device and easily swap between them using the yellow connection keys on the keyboard. What’s great is that most of the function key shortcuts work great and are automatically recognized by the iPad….cmd, brightness, media controls, home, select all, cut, paste, search, screenshot, task bar, etc. It adds a ton of convenience.The keys are low profile and quiet but have a satisfying amount of tactile feedback to them. The keyboard backlighting is great when using it in darker environments. The keys light up evenly and the light both surrounds the buttons and lights through the letters/symbols. There is a button on the keyboard that lets you toggle the lighting between, lo, med, hi, and off.The most unique quality of this keyboard is obviously its ergonomic shape and it doesn't disappoint here either. Your hand position instantly feels natural and comfortable when resting on the keyboard and its armrest. The contours of the keyboard naturally follow your hand and finger position.This design obviously requires somewhat proper typing technique. If you typically are a “pecker” that bounces your fingers across the keyboard and crosses sides you wont see as much benefit from this shape, but if you are familiar with the keys and can type without a lot of hand movement this design is a fantastic upgrade.This is a well built keyboard with a lot of attention to detail and great features. I really cant think of much negative to say about it. It’s an easy 5 star recommendation.

I have been a devout Microsoft comfort curved keyboard user for many years... I have gone through at least a couple dozen of them between work and home over the past decade or so. I have used several variants, but all have been wireless. They worked great for me and now it appears that they have discontinued them. Booo. For the mouse I used it, but usually I use a Logitech M510 as I find it more comfortable. That all said, I have tried other brands and they were all substandard to say the least, including the abysmal Logitech K350 that is simply bad on all counts.That led me to start a renewed search for a quality curved/ ergonomic keyboard. I was getting discouraged until I came across the ProtoArc unit... I ordered one in blue and decided to give it a chance. At first it was different -- not bad, just different with key location and feel. I have used split keyboards before and after a couple of days, I was in a rhythm. The things I miss are the hot keys for the calculator and mute. I use both often and do miss them, but have come to grips that I can still mute with F11 key and for the calculator I can create a hotkey shortcut. Not as svelte as the MS keyboard, but at least it is a workaround without having to stray over to the mouse. As far as function overall I do like the keyboard and it does have several redeeming qualities that the MS units lacked -- the biggest is I do use a desktop and an laptop -- it allows me to switch between both with only a keystroke. That is nice and has prevented me from constantly having to switch the dongle if I want to use it on a second (or third) system. There is a key devoted to locking my system -- and at work it is something I always did with a key combination -- so I guess I swapped mute for lock.... and I use lock much more often. Otherwise typing is smooth and the only missed letters are by the operator...me! The only change that I need to make is to use my left hand of my space bar more often...I am ambidextrous but do tend to use the right half more. Practice and persistence will definitely fix that.So overall really like the look and feel... definitely more modern and the finish is matte so no reflections. Keystrokes for me are nice and as mentioned above --different-- but definitely good and overall quiet. Is it a good replacement...yes! I do plan to buy more soon for work and home.
