Microsoft’s outs bizarre-looking Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard

Yesterday, Microsoft has announced their latest Manta Ray-inspired ergonomic Keyboard as part of the new Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop bundle.

To call Microsoft’s new Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard bizarre is actually an understatement. However, as weird as it may appear to be, Microsoft claims that it’s built with comfort and productivity in mind. Moreover, the tech firm from Redmond stated that, the keyboard’s domed build, spacious cushioned palm rest, and cleft key layout (which, by the way, looks like a smiling face at first glance), are thoughtfully designed to reduce the risk of strain or discomfort while typing.

Along with this odd-looking keyboard, Microsoft also announced a new wireless mouse which can be purchased as a standalone product for little under sixty bucks (USD59.95PHP 3,518INR 5,081EUR 57CNY 436) or included in the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop bundle for USD129.95PHP 7,626INR 11,013EUR 124CNY 946 which also comes with a wireless NumPad.

Albeit not as weird as its keyboard counterpart, the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse also has its fair share of quirks in terms of its design. We’re not gonna go too much into the specifics, but some of the wireless pointer’s more prominent features include a scroll wheel that’s pushed slightly off-center to give way for its fairly sizeable thumb rest. And there’s also a dedicated Start button, which may come handy when Windows 8.1 update finally arrives.

  1. Alas, ergonomic ONLY for the right-handed.

  2. me want this

  3. meh, too bad there is no alpha numeric keyboard.

  4. Ergonomics? Bring back the Trackball Explorer, Ballmer!

  5. What’s with the gap in the middle? Does that serve any purpose at all?

  6. It’s not that “bizarre” or weird at all. Most ergonomic keyboards are shaped that way for better typing efficiency and to prevent RSI. This new MS keyboard is just an iteration of previous designs. The old ones used to have function buttons and a track button of sorts, kinda like those found on thinkpad keyboards, in the center. I guess Microsoft didnt think people used ’em enough so they axed the portion and, hence, the “smiley face” design. I know quite a few guys, programmers mostly, who swear by these MS ergonomic keyboards. They look funky, yes, but once you get used to the look and the hand position, you might find them more comfortable to use than a typical keyboard. Cheers! :)

  7. Where can I get this locally? :)

  8. Where can I buy this?

  9. How to buy i am interested in buying
