The best keyboard I have ever used
Exceptionally pleased. I do not understand why I have not purchased before.It took a day to get used to the split keyboard but it is considerably easier to use.The wrist rest makes the keyboard much improves comfort.The backlit keyboard feature is extremely useful.Overall exceptionally satisfied with this keyboard, including the price. It was the only keyboard that I could find that met all of the features I wanted.

One of the best I've tried
I have tried various keyboards as, whilst I can touch type, I have some recent dexterity issues with my fingers. This is amongst the best keyboards I have tried - comfortable, quiet and minimal effort is needed to depress keys. They keys are also nicely spaced (for my fingers at least) - not too close but not to much of a stretch either. If you have not used a split keyboard before it takes a bit of getting used to, but if you can touch type then that will only take you a bit of practice (a couple of hours perhaps). I don't know how split keyboards are for people who cannot touch type (since I can), but it might take a bit more time to get used to the layout/angles in that case.

A Flattened Logitech K860
Delivery and Packaging:This arrives in a big ol' flat retail box. It was all paper packed inside an Amazon postal box and everything inside was undamaged.Design and Build Quality:The keyboard is of all plastic construction with a wrist rest covered with cloth like material.If you are familiar with the Logitech K860 - a split keyboard with a mild vertical wave to it which gives the two sides of the split keyboard a slant or 'tent' and lets your hands rest at a mild angle on the keys.This is a similar split, angled keyboard but complletely flat.The Product in Use:The typing experience is not quite as comfortable but still very good.the key switches are rubber membrane style with hardly any travel and feel very much like a laptop keyboard.I do like that it has a numberpad as I use spreadsheets at work and use the numbers a lot.I can type quickly and comfortably on this board for extended lengths of time without wrist strain and the built in palm rest is helpful and comfortable.The backlight is a plain white and is handy to turn on if you are in adarkened room but I usually turn it off as it is a battery drain.The 2.4GHz receiver works well and I had no issues at all connecting up to both my Mac Mini and to my Windows machines.It takes up a fair bit of desk space but not too much more than a full size with a wrist rest. It's is clearly not made to be a travel keyboard.Like the K860, it also has adjustable feet at the bottom front of the board so you can tiilt the board away from you, so your wrists are not bent and angled upwards which I also like.They don't feel very strong but took the weight of my arms with no problems.The Good and the Bad:The good is that this is a large comfortable keyboard with an enjoyably soft wrist rest. there is a handy backlight for those darker rooms and the number pad comes in very handy if you work with numbers and spreadsheets.Pairing is a breeze and it has a battery to rechargerather than double A's to replace. It's a USB C connection to charge up which is better than any proprietary connection.The bad - it's all plastic so doesn't feel too premium and it's large - which I don't mind but may put you off if you have limited desk space.Subjective points are that it is not a mechanical keyboard so you don't get a laptop like typing experience rather than the deeper travel of a mechanical board.It is a full sized board which again, I like but if you have no need of a number pad then this is not for you.Conclusion:If you want a large flat split format keybaord that is very comfortable to type on and is very reasonably priced compared to similar boards from competitors then this is definitely worth considering.

Good natural keyboard
I was updating my more-than-10-years-old Microsoft natural keyboard, which still works but doesn't have backlighting which I was looking for. So I got this keyboard.It quite has a prime feel to it. The silver coating looks nice and it has a bit of weight which is really good at ensuring that the keyboard doesn't slide away.I use the function keys a lot so I was glad to see that it has a 'function key lock' which is an important feature for me.Another benefit is that it can be connected to up to 3 computers at once which is really handy if you often use more than one computer at a time, like I do.Works perfectly well with MacOS, which is what I used the keyboard with.Two minor points. The left shift key is very small (UK layout). Smaller than the regular keys. In my opinion it would be better if it was made larger and the key next to it (the ` and ~ key) was made smaller to fit it all in.The description states that it has 'adjustable tilt'. It's not really very adjustable. You either put the legs out for tilt or you fold them in for no tilt. You can't really adjust the gradient of the tilt.All in all I'm quite happy with it.

Starkeys and Much (more that is)
A great Blutooth peripheral keyboard. Responsive keys. Loving the light up function. And sympatico with my existing set up.Its slim profile and options for tilt of keyboard to enhance the ergonomics. Are also welcome.I'm sure I'll get familiar with all the features it provides.

Generally very good ergonomic keyboard
Many good features to this keyboard. I like the backlighting (and the enery saving cut out when not in use), the Caps Lock light (which does not feature on my last Microsoft keyboard), and the adjustable feet to slope the board. It is comfortable to type on and quiet. Little niggles... the left shift key is tiny, and the fact that the numerical pad is integral (which is good) means there is not much space for my mouse unless I shift the board left, which makes typing tricky. Pretty good, all in all though!
