What is Reddit's opinion of Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I am fond of two keyboards. I work from home and find swapping keyboard to be an essential part of the de-work mindset routine.

To that end for general use my pick is the Microsoft Sculpt. Low profile, chicklet keys, short & soft key travel, wireless, and by far the most comfortable and healthy keyboard you will use.

For my gaming keyboard I use a Razer Deathstalker Pro V2. Low profile, short and effortless key travel, extremely high durability, RGB, wireless (zero added input lag with it's dongle).

If I had to pick one it would be the sculpt, It is so much easier on your hands and wrists it isn't even close. It makes other keyboards feel like they were designed for a species that isn't human.

It is worth noting that repetative strain injuries are overwhelmingly more common in women, even if you are not near menopause (TL:DR, hormonal changes cause issues with inflammation) The better you take care of your tendons early in life the better position you will be late in life. I can tell you first hand that wrist braces and forced rest is no fun at all.

I have a keyboard like this which helps Microsoft L5V-00006 Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard, Mouse and Numeric Pad Set, UK Layout - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EO4NN5C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_KAV1JSNNDSR9E2ER8YFY

And a mouse like this Ergonomic Mouse Wireless, seenda Rechargeable Vertical Mouse for Multi-Purpose (BT3.0/5.0/2.4GHZ), Ergonomic Mouse Bluetooth for Laptop/PC/Smart TV/Mac/Smartphone/Tablet/iPad - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08T1NTC5J/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_29AKH2A43707RH2C0VN7

I have an electric desk that moves so I can stand up if I want, and a stand to raise the screen higher, and an ergonomic chair too. I got all my stuff through uni so don't have links to all of it. Having things at the right height and the keyboard and mouse have made such a difference me.

So I previously favoured a low profile board from the MS/Logitech-produced Sculpt/ergo series.
I wanted to wait for the ISO layout K3, and also considered the Joyeuse V2, but also thought I wanted to keep a numpad while getting a new mechanical, the GK96 wasn't around, so I tried the SK optical switch version of the GK73XS.
The split spacebar and programmable layers has been vastly better than any single layout could offer, and I wouldn't want a board without them now. But their stock layout removing/rebinding a few standard keys is poor. Layers also made ANSI trivial, and then I moved on to the far more comfortable Colemak layout without needing to change any OS/wireless device layout configuration.
I currently don't have a numbad area bound, having adopted a very wide alphas layout with the arrows and other useful coding keys in the middle of the board, akin to a fully split boards ergo setup.
I can still toggle or hold-to-temp-swap to the default layer to use the numpad area via muscle memory even if the caps don't currently match. But I prefer to use a layer that has the top row and arrow keys produce numpad number and operation scancodes.
If I wanted a numpad now, I'd just get a SK21/GK21S or equiv, depending on how you end up feeling about low profile switches and keycaps.

Maybe you won't to the same way at all, but I thought I had a similar start, and ended up with a far more comfy shoulder-wide layout, and a detached wrist-rest.

Vertical mouse and raised ergo keyboard. Your future self will thank you
