NOTE: The palm support itself is NOT removable.

Removable Riser (attaches below the palm supports): Elevates the front edge of the keyboard to create 'negative inclination'.

Partially 'Tented' Gull Wing Design: The keycaps transition from a slight incline on the innermost column down to 0В° of tent on the outermost column of keys.

Preset Fixed 'Splay': The keys are arranged with a limited preset degree of splay to help reduce ulnar deviation.

The included Numeric Keypad can be positioned as needed, to the left, right, or simply set aside when not being used. 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.Д¬an Assist in Reducing Over-Reach - The Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard offers a reduced footprint that permits mouse placement much closer on the right side.

The convenient 'calculator' button facilitates quick switching between data entry and the onscreen Windows calculator. This package also includes a convenient low profile numeric keypad, under 0.5' in height, and that can be positioned anywhere as desired. A slot in the underside of the mouse provides storage for the mini receiver that provides the wireless connection for all three devices. The BlueTrack sensor technology works on virtually any surface, making it the ideal device for traveling. 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 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. 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 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. The absence of a FN key means that the quick access to secondary functions that is available on most keyboards is not an option. This is accomplished by a slide switch in the upper right corner of the keyboard. 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. 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. However, the varying size of the keys, a feature which serves no ergonomic purpose, may prove frustrating to those accustomed to a standard layout.

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. The response is evenly consistent across all keys with the exception of the F-Key 'button keys' (see below). 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. 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. Each keyboard set is permanently paired with its receiver at the factory. The wireless keyboard features Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology, designed to help protect information by encrypting keystrokes. 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.
