The Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop from Microsoft combines the wireless Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard with a low profile numeric keypad and the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, all connecting through a single wireless 2.4 GHz mini receiver. The wireless keyboard features Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology, designed to help protect information by encrypting keystrokes. Each keyboard set is permanently paired with its receiver at the factory.
Note: This means that if the receiver is lost or damaged, there is no way to replace it - the keyboard, mouse and numeric keypad will no longer function.

The Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard is equipped with low-travel scissor switches that have a higher "return to neutral" or "bounce-back" rate than most laptop style keyboards, providing clear tactile feedback. The response is evenly consistent across all keys with the exception of the F-Key "button keys" (see below). The keycaps feature a slightly concave surface to aid in finger positioning as well as a subtle crowning that provides more distinction between keys than many current scissor switch keyboards. However, the varying size of the keys, a feature which serves no ergonomic purpose, may prove frustrating to those accustomed to a standard layout. In addition, the F-Key "buttons" have a lower profile, are only about 40% the height of a standard keycap, and use a high-force membrane switch. Although these keys do support secondary functions such as multimedia, the secondary functions can only be accessed by switching between Standard mode and Alternate function mode. This is accomplished by a slide switch in the upper right corner of the keyboard. The absence of a FN key means that the quick access to secondary functions that is available on most keyboards is not an option.

The Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard ships with an optional magnetically-attached riser that can be used to elevate the front of the keyboard to create an ergonomic negative slope that can aid in reducing wrist extension. However, because this elevates the keyboard typists need to ensure that they are able to adjust the keyboard position to an appropriate height or they may actually be moving to a "less" ergonomic position when attaching the riser.

The included Sculpt Mouse, for right-handed use only, includes a Windows button for quick access to the Start Screen, and its four-way scroll wheel allows for easy navigating up, down, left, or right. The rounded design angles the hand outward to reduce pronation of the forearm with the body of the mouse serving as a support for the fingers to naturally curl over. The BlueTrack sensor technology works on virtually any surface, making it the ideal device for traveling. A slot in the underside of the mouse provides storage for the mini receiver that provides the wireless connection for all three devices.

This package also includes a convenient low profile numeric keypad, under 0.5" in height, and that can be positioned anywhere as desired. The convenient "calculator" button facilitates quick switching between data entry and the onscreen Windows calculator.

Note: Those who find glare and reflection less than desirable or who do not like fingerprints may not appreciate the housings, all of which have a high gloss or sheen.

Le Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop de Microsoft combine le Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard sans fil avec un pavé numérique à profil bas et la Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, le tout étant relié par un seul mini clé USB sans fil de 2,4 GHz. Le clavier sans fil est doté de la technologie AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), conçue pour aider à protéger les informations en cryptant les frappes au clavier. Chaque clé USB sans fil (une clé pour faire fonctionner les trois produits, clavier, pavé numérique, et souris) sont apparié de façon permanente aux manufacteur. Veuillez noter: Cela signifie que si la clé USB est perdu ou endommagé, il n'y a aucun moyen de le remplacer - le clavier, la souris et le pavé numérique ne fonctionneront plus.

Le Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard est équipé d'interrupteurs en ciseaux à course bas qui sont évaluer d'avoir un "retour au neutre" ou de "rebond" plus élevé que la plupart des claviers d'ordinateurs portables, offrant ainsi un retour tactile clair. La réponse est constant sur toutes les touches, à l'exception des "F-Keys" (voir ci-dessous). Les capuchons des touches présentent une surface légèrement concave pour faciliter le positionnement des doigts, ainsi qu'un couronnement légère qui permet de mieux distinguer les touches que la plupart des claviers à ciseaux présent. Par contre, la taille variable des touches, une caractéristique qui ne sert aucun objectif ergonomique, va peut-être frustrer ceux qui sont habitués à une disposition standard. Également, les "F-Keys" ont un profil plus bas, ne font que 40% de la hauteur d'un capuchon de touche standard et utilisent un interrupteur à membrane haute force. Bien que ces touches prennent en charge des fonctions secondaires telles que le multimédia, il n'est possible d'accéder à ces fonctions qu'en passant du mode Standard au mode Alternatif. Cette opération s'effectue au moyen d'un side switch situé dans le coin droit du haut du clavier. L'absence d'une touche FN signifie que l'accès rapide aux fonctions secondaires, disponible sur la plupart des claviers, n'est pas une option.

Le Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard est livré avec un élévateur optionnel à fixation magnétique qui peut être utilisé pour élever l'avant du clavier afin de créer une pente négative ergonomique qui peut aider à réduire l'extension du poignet. Par contre, étant donné que cet accessoire surélève le clavier, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer d'être en mesure de régler la position du clavier à une hauteur appropriée, sinon cela pose un risque de passer à une position moins ergonomique en fixant l'élévateur.

La Sculpt Mouse (incluse), pour droitiers seulement, contient un bouton Windows pour un accès rapide au Start Screen, et sa roulette de défilement à quatre directions permet de naviguer facilement vers le haut, le bas, la gauche ou la droite. Sa conception arrondi oriente la main vers l'extérieur pour réduire la pronation de l'avant-bras, et agit comme un support pour que les doigts puissent s'enrouler naturellement. La technologie du capteur BlueTrack fonctionne sur pratiquement toutes les surfaces, ce qui en fait la souris idéal pour les voyages. Un comportiment situé sous la souris permet de ranger le mini clé USB qui assure la connexion sans fil des trois appareils.

Cet ensemble comprend également un pavé numérique à profil bas, d'une hauteur de moins de 0.5po, qui peut être placé n'importe où. La touche "calculatrice", très pratique, permet de basculer rapidement entre la saisie de données et la calculatrice Windows à l'écran.

Veuillez noter: Les personnes qui ne veulent pas l'éblouissement et les reflets ou qui n'aiment pas les empreintes des doigts risquent de ne pas apprécier les boîtiers, qui sont tous très brillants ou lustrés.

The Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse from Microsoft is intended to encourage more natural hand and wrist postures with an angled body designed to remove the wrist from contact with the mousing surface. The sculpted thumb scoop helps the hand maintain this angled position which is intended to reduce pressure on the carpal tunnel. Windows 8 users can benefit from the clearly marked Windows Logo key which provides quick access to the Start Screen. The scroll wheel provides full 4-way scroll control and a convenient Back button is available for quicker navigation. While somewhat similar in design to the discontinued Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, it should be noted that this mouse is smaller in all dimensions than the 6000. While making it easier to transport, by definition it provides less support for most individuals who do not have relatively small hands.

One limitation of this mouse is that it is designed to work only with recent versions of Windows (7, RT, & 8). and a driver download is necessary to take advantage of all the features.

Available in both English and French Canadian layouts, the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard bears design similarities to the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, retaining the gull-wing design that orients keys at varying angles, from a maximum 14° tent in the middle to a traditional "flat" or 0° by the time the outer alpha keys are reached. The left and right key groups are also splayed slightly outward to encourage a nominally more neutral alignment of the wrists. An unusually deep 4" palm rest is permanently affixed to the keyboard. This palm rest offers improved cushioning and presents a deeper and flatter profile than that on the Natural 4000, helping to reduce wrist extension. However, unlike the pad on the Natural 4000, the surface of the palm pad on the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard is permeable. As a result it cannot be cleaned in the same manner as the leather-like pads on the Natural 4000.'

The minimum key height on this keyboard is 0.75" off the surface on which the keyboard is placed (1.75" on the keys in the middle of the keyboard). This elevation may require individuals to either raise their seats to accommodate the height of the keyboard or to use a keyboard tray to lower the keyboard into their lap. The keyboard also includes a detachable palm lift that can be used to raise the front to create negative slope intended to encourage better wrist alignment. Use of this lifter may require further adjustments of seat or keyboard tray height because it adds almost a full inch of elevation to the middle of the keyboard and increases the risk of a "pinch point" being created on the underside of the wrists.

Please Note: Those familiar with the earlier Microsoft Natural 4000 Ergonomic Keyboard may find that the key action on the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard is significantly different that what they have experienced in the past. While the Natural 4000 developed a reputation for its crisp and consistent key response, this successor fails in that regard. Key response is less distinct, requiring more sustained force, and varies at random across the keyboard, with even directly adjacent keys having noticeably different "feel". The bottom row of keys (CTRL-ALT-EMOJI KEY etc.) is approximately 300% higher force than the letter keys just above this row. Due to this variance across the keys serious touch typists may find themselves with dropped keystrokes or that they are required to exert greater levels of force in order to ensure consistent typing, potentially resulting in tissue fatigue and damage to the fingers and hands.

The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse from Microsoft is an excellent choice for mobile mousing; its flexible design curves for comfort and flattens to pack. When curved, the mouse turns on, and when flattened, the mouse turns off (no button required). To scroll simply touch the scroll pad or flick it for fast vertical scrolling. The BlueTrack technology ensures accurate tracking on virtually all surfaces and the convenient 2.4 GHz Nano-Receiver can stow magnetically on back of mouse. For left-handed or right-handed users.

La Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse par Microsoft est une un choix excellent pour faire la souris dans les applications mobile; la conceptions est flexible car elle peut être courbée pour le confort, aussi que mis plat pour la ranger.

The included Ergonomic Mouse from Microsoft is a basic medium-sized mouse designed for right-handed use. The contoured body provides a resting flange for the thumb to discourage the pinching action that many use when moving their mouse. The mouse is equipped with a clickable textured metal scroll wheel that features crisp detents. The two primary buttons offer the standard Right and Left clicks, with two additional thumb buttons for Back and Forward. Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software facilitates custom programming of all buttons, scroll wheel functions, and DPI settings from 400 to 3200, with a default of 1400).

The Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is designed to assist users to achieve a more neutral and natural posture while doing data entry. The design orients keys at varying angles, from a maximum 14° tent in the middle to a traditional "flat" or 0° by the time the outer alpha keys are reached. The left and right key groups are also splayed slightly outward to encourage a nominally more neutral alignment of the wrists. The control housed between the splayed keys is for Zoom (not vertical scroll as many may assume). A lightly padded 3" deep leatherette palm rest is permanently affixed to the keyboard.

The minimum key height on this keyboard is 1" off the surface on which the keyboard is placed (2" on the keys in the middle of the keyboard). This elevation may require users to either raise their seats to accommodate the height of the keyboard or to use a keyboard tray to lower their keyboard into their lap. The keyboard also includes a detachable palm lift that raises the front to create a 7° negative slope intended to encourage better wrist alignment. Use of this lifter may require further adjustments of seat or keyboard tray height because it adds another full inch of elevation to the middle of the keyboard and increases the risk of a "pinch point" being created on the underside of the wrists.

This keyboard is available in two models, a standard US English model and a Unilingual French Canadian model

Please Note:Activation of the spacebar on the Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 may feel somewhat stiff or "sticky". If the spacebar is pressed at one edge, the resistance is noticeably higher than when pressing it in the middle - this is not a warranty related issue.
