Question: Does this come with our without the mouse? It's normally included with the keyboard.
Document: Smaller than most ergonomic or regular key boards. I use it without the small riser that snaps below it. I prefer the lesser angle when it sits flat on the desktop. It is comfortable and easy to use. Does not come with directions so reading the tips on here such as that the battery covers are magnetic is helpful. Batteries included in both keyboard and the number pad. I am using this with a docked laptop at work. We found that the fob had to be put in the USB of the laptop direct as it was not finding it otherwise.
The seller says they won't take it back without the box, maybe they just dust them off and resell them whether they work or not. They said I'd have to deal with Microsoft and figuratively and literally washed their hands of the deal. Of course,they didn't offer to provide any link, reference or contact data. Basically they said 'pound sand'.Feeling like I had few options, and being the eternal technology optimist, I re-cleaned, re-shook, re-tapped, re-wiped and tried it again, hopping that the sellers lack of customer support and sense of fair play might be overcome by a sudden desire on the part of the keyboard to mend its errant ways and come back to some form or productive life and utility.
I've used Microsoft's ergonomic line of keyboards for a long time. I was glad to see a wireless version finally hit the market. I wasn't interested in the mouse so the keyboard being available by itself was great. It works just as well as I expected and has had no issues so far. The batteries are included (Duracell with mine). It's great to be able to move the number pad when using a small surface. Overall quality is nothing less than top tier and it performs extremely well even when used for extended periods of time.
I LOVE this keyboard. As a software developer, I spend quite a lot of time using keyboards. Even I already use lots of keyboard shortcuts, I still have to use the mouse quite often. The biggest problems with that is that most keyboard, including Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards before this one, have the numeric keypad and mouse movement buttons included. That makes the mouse about 6 more inches farther away, so I have to twist my arm more to reach the mouse. No more such problems with this 5KV. I love it.
I got to play with this keyboard as the mouse/keyboard set, here are my notes specifically about the keyboard.Lets get the little things out of the way:The keyboard is wireless. Requires 2 AAA batteriesThe Numpad is wireless and separate from the keyboard. It requires a CR2430 3V Lithium Coin Battery (commonly called a "watch battery")All batteries are included with the keyboardThe keyboard and numpad require a single USB connection. The USB connector is a small dongle about the size of a quarterThe cover for the battery on the main keyboard as well as the riser for the keyboard are all magnetic, snapping into place but having no mechanical hinge.
As a programmer, I rarely use the number pad, and this extra wasted space requires me to move my hand back and forth for a good minimum of 6" per one way trip. Obviously, over the years, I have mastered the keyboard shortcuts to save time; however, I still use mouse a lot, especially if you come to appreciate the multi gestures feature in your mouse (i.e. Apple Magic Mouse, Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse etc).Upon receiving the Sculpt keyboard-only package, I noticed that the battery chamber cover along with the batteries already popped out, roaming freely within the plastic package.
It&#8217;s heavier than expected without the batteries. So I opted for the $18 vertical wireless mouse that I am quite pleased with. (Yes I would have supported my local business had they had the keyboard but they did not. )The padded palm rest is nice. It seems like it is going to be very durable. I have noticed that where my palms do rest there is a discoloration (dirt) starting to build up. A paper towel with some water works fine.It is a great keyboard.
I was very turned off by the price, but then discovered that I could buy it for less without the mouse (which most people complain about) by ordering version known asMicrosoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard for Business (5KV-00001). So here I am today typing this review with it. Here are my impressions:THE GOOD:It absolutely has a better feel than any keyboard I've every used. The Fellowes, which intend to keep as a backup was excellent and I still highly recommend it. But, I like the short-travel chiclet style this one offers.
Update: I had to return the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard. I use keyboard shortcuts a lot. For some reason, CTRL + B for bolding was too widea spread for my small hands to reach without really stretching. Much further apart than the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000 that I've been using. So I bought another of those. Unfortunately I could only find the Desktop set that comes with a mouse that I didn't need.I read many of the recent reviews of this keyboard and went to my local Fry's to try it out before buying.
As a computer programmer suffering from mild carpel tunnel effect (aching around wrists and splitting pain close to the tip of ulna bone), I have been using the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 since 2006 (It also goes without saying that you should have a decent chair with lumbar support + arm support...plus a desk with proper height etc).While I appreciate the split layout from the Natural Keyboard 4000, one thing I find quite inconvenient is the frequent hand travel from the keyboard to my mouse (I am right handed).
Answer: This one does not, there is another version that does, its a bit more expensive. GO HERE: Microsoft L5V-00001 Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard and Mouse
