ProtoArc Backlit Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard, EK01 Bluetooth Ergo Split Keyboard with Wrist Rest, Natural Typing, Multi-Device, Rechargeable, Windows/Mac/Android

This is a great keyboard. I am a content writer writing thousands of words each week. I type on my lap and the keyboard hit the ground very day and it still works great. I don't have any problem with battery life, and though the right space bar did stop working I still have the left side so I don't really notice. The cushions comfortable but I don't really use the lights to be honest. Overall I would definitely buy it again.

I paid more than I ever though I would for a keyboard. So far it is worth every penny. In fact, if the company that makes these is listening, I’d be delighted to test more of their products. Let’s start with: I purchased a Logitech curved keyboard on prime day that used the word ergonomic in the title. I returned it. A curved keyboard and an ergonomic keyboard IMO are two different things. This keyboard is ergonomic. Or as close to it as you can get without buying one specially made for your hands. The Logitech didn’t even come close. I like that it feels well made but also light. Quality, but not so heavy it is a burden to take with you (I would have paid $10 more if the box would have served as a carrying case or come with a drawstring bag or something similar to carry it and not just free in my bag. But I find no reason to dock a star here. I like that the keyboard is backlit. There are three different brightness levels but to me they all would pass for getting the job done. The lowest brightness is still bright enough to see and the highest setting isn’t a distraction. It has two Bluetooth connection settings, both of which worked and the 2.4 dongle which I haven’t tested but I would guess is a safe bet. The only thing I didn’t like was that the 2.4 dongle just hangs out under the keyboard. That being said, unlike the Logitech, at least there was a housing for it on the keyboard and it stays in place magnetically. Although this might be a place to dock a star, we wacked the keyboard a few times trying to dislodge the dongle and it stayed firmly in place. So, unless You end up doing some wild activities or throwing it across the room, the dongle should stay in place. The keys are easy to use, it is what I would call a short stroke and they are quiet. I can type with this in bed without disturbing my wife whereas the Logitech keys felt like a keyboard straight out of the early nineties where every key was heavy and bulky and just plain loud. This feels like a keyboard designed for 2022 and not 1992. It charges with usb-c connection and has an on/off switch In the back. Battery life im guessing is good as I’ve owned it for a couple weeks and we are still running on the first charge. All in all, if you have the budget for a really nice wireless/Bluetooth keyboard, I think this is the one.

Love the design and the backlit keys, and the ergonomics, and even was able to get used to the keyboard layout. Really enjoyed the ability to connect to both my work laptop, personal laptop, and TV.However, started to lose key presses (no matter what its conected to) after the first month (fixed by turn off, wait 2sec, turn on). At first the kb reset fixed for days, then slowly the fix lasted less and less time, until 3 months in, it only lasts an hour, which makes this device completely not worth the money and has incurred countless frustration points along the way to the point I dont want to ever see the ProtoArc logo ever again. There's only so many times you can have a kb failure during a presentation or while gaming before the brand faith turns to resentment and hatred.For the price, at 2-5x the price of competitor bt keyboards, I expected a pretty solid device; but it turned out to be Trash after only 2.5 months.

When the 4 and $ key stopped working one day, I started looking for a replacement. I wanted the exact replacement of what I was and have been using for years, Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 V1.0, but the price just to get a used one was ridiculous, and then to get a so-called new one..... NOT PAYING THAT MUCH!So I started looking for a replacement, but struggled to find a keyboard that would have a backlight, single space bar, wired connection, and was economically great feeling while typing. I tried one where the reviews were OK but I thought that I would make my own call on it... Well, I sent that keyboard back almost the same day but thought maybe I was not giving it a chance, so, I thought that I would give it another day or two but could not make it past the second day. My hand started cramping and the sticky keys, some of the things I read in the other reviews and all with the same experiences I had.I came across this keyboard and almost got it before the above-mentioned one but didn't because it was wireless and did not want to have to worry about batteries. I wish I would have read a little more about this keyboard as it has a rechargeable battery. I do leave it plugged in to make sure I never worry about it going dead on me in the middle of something important.I like the fact that I can switch to a secondary Bluetooth device, My mobile Device, and type messages as quickly as I would on my computer. What a great feature.There are a few things I wish this keyboard had that I use on a regular but work around without the physical buttons.Some of these keys I wish it physically had as separate keys would be the following:InsertHomeEndPage UpPage Downand more than anything the Ctrl Key on the right side of the keyboard, because I use the shortcut key to send e-mail (Ctrl + ENTER) which brings me to the enter key, I think it needs to be a hair wider, not much but a little.I also wish we could change the Light Setting as to how long it stays on before it automatically shuts off. I could take a break from typing, reading what I was typing and the keyboard light will shut off a little too soon. The possibility of RGB would be great as well as this is just white and white only but has several brightness settings. I do not need the backlight too much but do look at the keyboard from time to time because I never took a typing class but can type fairly well. Just not great, so the backlight helps out a lot because I do not like to work with lights on.OVERALL: I am very pleased with this keyboard and the way it feels, thin and very easy to type with no cramping. The keyboard has legs on the back closest to me or the front further away from me allowing to adjust how I desire the keyboard to lay, flat works great for me with my current setup. My review has no negativity just a few little changes and I know that if those additional buttons would be added, the keyboard would be a little wider, and I think that would be OK.
