Nice feeling keys, not too heavy, shortcuts work good enough.
So, my microsoft sculpt ergonomic spacebar broke and I needed a replacement. I actually went through 2 other keyboards before landing on this one.So I’m going to compare the sculpt, Meetion, Nulea 7 color, and ProtoArc.All of them were Wifi + 2x bluetooth. I use with both.I’ve had the MS Sculpt for years, I like it. In that time I’ve needed to replace a couple key caps, but it’s been good. I really like the feel of the keys and I’m used to the shortcuts. Every one of these new keyboards seems to have a different idea on what alternate shortcuts the function keys do, I wish that were standard. The biggest issue with the MS Sculpt was it was bluetooth only, so I had to pull out and old wired keyboard every time I needed to go into bios, that was a bit of a pain. But I liked the use, feel, lightness of it enough. It took 2 AA batteries that I replaced maybe 2 times a year. All the new ones recharge via USB-C, but that needs to be done maybe every 1-2 weeks? So not bad since I can plug it in to the pc that it’s next to for that. All the new keyboards also have a wifi dongle so I can use them in bios.First I tried the Nulea. The feel of the keys is the same as the ProtoArc, it actually has a lot of similarities. I really like the key feel. But what absolutely destroyed and made me hate the Nulea was the missing right CTRL key, OMG that drove me insane, 100% garbage without it. They have this stupid “light” button instead, it’s so worthless without the right ctrl key. On top of that, I use a lot of complicated keyboard shortcuts, and depending on the wiring of the keys, some might not work. In my case Ctrl+Shift+Win+Page Down did not work, which was problematic for me as well. So I ended up returning that.Next I tried was the Meetion. It was lighter than the others, good and thin too. It doesn’t have the flat keys, but keycaps. I like good key caps, but those they were not. It felt super cheap, but the biggest deal breaker was often repeated stuck keys, at least once a day. After a few days of that I returned it.I’ve been using the ProtoArc for a few weeks now, and it’s great. It does have that light key on the right, it adjusts brightness and honestly I don’t really care about that feature and wish I could remap it. But all that matters there is that it actually has the right ctrl key. My keyboard shortcuts work, I can use it in BIOS. It’s probably about an oz heavier than my original microsoft sculpt. The only part that isn’t great are the volume keys, well, all the keys in that little circle of keys in the center between the halves. That’s why I deducted the star, but they work, and the keyboard looks great otherwise. So I’m happy with it and hopefully will have it another 5 years at least.Edit: So, after about 6 weeks of using it, the up arrow just fell off, it looks like the part that holds half of it down was malformed during manufacturing, I suppose that can happen. But it caused me to come here and reevaluate my review, and I’ve actually added back that star, so it’s 5/5. Reason being is, first, after using it more, the volume keys didn’t bother me as much, just got used to them, and mainly, when I contacted customer service about the key issue, they were very prompt to respond and sent me a replacement right away, they said it would take 4-5 days, but somehow it arrived the next day, and it works great, so very happy with that.One thing I also forgot to mention in the original review, is that it has one of those silicon keyboard spill covers, which is a really nice feature! Specifically because you can usually only find those made on laptops. So if you want your keyboard to always be easily cleanable you can use it all the time. I did use it for a couple weeks, but it slowed down my typing a little like any other cover I tried, but I do like having it.

Great ergonomic keyboard.
This is my first venture into using a split keys keyboard. I have taken a different job that requires me to type a significant amount of my day. I quickly developed a repetitive motion problem with my left picky from using the shift and CTRL keys to capitalize and copy paste.Using an ergonomic keyboard has changed the location of those keys so I didn’t have to strain that finger to type. Additionally, the new position of my hands makes typing a good part of the day much easier on my hands and body.What makes this ergonomic keyboard stand out?The keys near the center remain near standard size. The space in the middle is allowed to naturally be there.The rest of the keyboard layout is similar to all the other 101 key keyboards so you do not have to adapt to a different key placement of special function keys.The media controls are in the space between the keys. I didn’t have much of an opinion either way until I started using them to control the volume on the podcasts I listen to. The placement keeps me from having to find the correct controls on the function keys,It is back lit. I am not a trained touch typist and find myself looking at the keys fairly often to reset my fingers on the keys.It is rechargeable. I charge it at the end of the week and have not had a problem with it dying during my work week. If it did all you need to do is connect it to a USB C charging cable and it gets a full charge in about the same time as it does tour cell phone. You can use it while it is charging.The feel is great the keys have a good resistance and a comfortable travel distance when you push them. You might even find yourself pressing a little less.Maybe the most surprising thing is the heft of the unit itself. It weighs a significant amount. Much more than my Logitech I replaced it with. The advantage of this is it stays in place on my desk . I don’t feel it sliding as I type. This is a problem, as I do have a lot of hand movement when I type, and I do not find myself having to reposition the keyboard before homing my fingers. When you type it feels solid on every key press.It has the ability to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices and still use the receiver provided to communicate with another without having to do anything beside pick the device on the orange keys.The wrist rest is padded and is something I didn’t have on any other keyboard before this one. It definitely adds to the overall comfort of the unit.

Les van mis comentario, uso bastante el teclado, vengo de un Logitech mx keys muy bueno por cierto pero nada ergonómico, este teclado me ha ayudado bastante con el tema del dolor de muñecas, es bastante buena la iluminación y el famoso retraso de reconexión no me lo ha hecho, las teclas son suaves al tacto y no necesitas hacer mucha presión para escribir, la batería me dura una semana mas o menos, sí le doy bastante uso, el cambio entre mac y windows no me ha afectado ya que el teclado cuenta con la iconografía de ambas plataformas, el único pero que le pongo es el lenguaje que solo es en inglés, bueno eso vi cuando lo compre, como escribo sin ver las teclas no me afecta pero las persona que buscan los signos ortográficos si tendrán problema por que no son los que deberían ser hay que buscarlos picando uno por uno hasta que salga el que deseas, !tómenlo en cuenta!, el teclado cuenta con un cubre polvo transparente de latex, eso me gusta pero sinceramente no lo uso me dificulta escribir rápido, se lo pongo cuando no lo uso.

I absolutely love this keyboard. I have been using a regular full size mechanical gaming keyboard and have been suffering from neck, shoulder and wrist pain for some time, Decided to try an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. The packaging was thoughtful and rivalled some expensive brands. The keyboard was so easy to set up with the USB dongle, connected seamlessly. The keyboard even comes with a silicone cover that is so nice to type on. The wrist pad is soft and comfortable and there is a good amount of feedback from the keys with a gentle click when you press them. The backlight is great with three brightness options. I have smaller hands and the keyboard layout is perfect for my hands, but would also suit someone with bigger hands. So happy with this product. Would highly recommend.

Amazon Vine Review – March 2025Backlit, Rechargeable, Wireless, Bluetooth, Ergonomic, Full Size Split Keyboard with Cushioned Wrist Rest – Gray Ball – Model EK01 PLUS – by PROTOARCThis review may be longer than most. If you are genuinely interested in this product, please take the time to read it and indicate if you found it helpful.MY STORY:We all know what a standard or traditional computer keyboard looks like, but an ergonomic keyboard breaks the mould! Even if you’ve used an ergonomic keyboard before, this one is more innovative and user-friendly than any you may have encountered – I promise! I can admit that I previously owned a first-generation ergonomic keyboard. While it was a reasonable effort at the time, I eventually returned to using a traditional keyboard. However, I was thrilled when I discovered this new ergonomic keyboard. It stands out from all the rest. I believe that the split keyboard makes all the difference. My personal experience with it has been reassuring.I have written this review within a limited timeframe based on my personal experience with the product. I objectively assess the positive and negative aspects to help you determine if this product is right for you.This product became available on the Amazon Canada site in January 2025, and I requested it in late February 2025. I have been using it ever since.NOTE: All measurements provided are my own. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible; however, they should be regarded as “approximate.”WHAT YOU GET:This product arrived in the indicated time frame. It was as described by the seller.The packaging is outstanding. You know right away that you have something extraordinary.Included in the package are the following:• backlit, rechargeable, wireless, Bluetooth, ergonomic, full-size split keyboard with cushioned wrist rest. The keyboard weighs 1064g (37.5oz) and measures L 48cm x W 23cm (at the widest point) x 2.5cm (at the highest point) [ L 19in x W 9in (at the widest point) x H 1in (at the highest point)].- Keyboard dust cover included;• an envelope of welcoming literature and other product offers;• a detailed Quick Start Guide;• a User Manual in English, French and German;• a USB dongle receiver (embedded in the underside of the keyboard) or, alternately, you can connect via Bluetooth;• and a USB dongle receiver – L 82cm (L 32 ¼ in).The team at PROTOARC is deeply dedicated to their company and its unique identity, a pride reflected in every aspect of their work. This particular product, a testament to their dedication, was designed by a gentleman named Howard. Congratulations are for both him and the team supporting him. In contrast to many other companies that make contact information hard to find, PROTOARC has its details displayed in nearly every part of the box and its contents. They even include a sticker with their contact information for the underside of the keyboard.Adjusting to the ergonomic keyboard and its layout may take some time, but stick with it. You can return it within 30 days if it’s not for you. PROTOARC covers you with a 2-year Premium Warranty, so keep your Amazon order details.This keyboard can be used for three separate devices simultaneously. It has an optional background light with three adjustable brightness levels. The background lights turn themselves off after about 3 minutes of inactivity, yet they turn back on as soon as you hit any key. When not used for more than 60 minutes, the keyboard will automatically enter sleep mode and wake up by pressing any key.The User Manual covers features such as a 2.4G USB connection and Bluetooth connection, how to switch device channels, a charging guide, multimedia function buttons for Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac OS, and the use of special characters.One full charge of the keyboard takes 2 to 3 hours. You should use the USB-A port on your computer, not a fast-charge device. The battery capacity is 2000mAh.The keyboard has an effective operating distance of 8m (26 ft) – really?WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE PRODUCTI found the setup quick and easy. The User Manual is friendly to use. It only took me a few days to become proficient in using this ergonomic keyboard. I can’t imagine going back to a traditional keyboard. This is fun to use.I am very impressed with this new keyboard, so I have also purchased a PROTOARC wireless trackball mouse to accompany it.I am pleased to offer this Backlit, Rechargeable, Wireless, Bluetooth, Ergonomic, Full-Size Split Keyboard with Cushioned Wrist Rest, Model EK01 PLUS—by PROTOARC, with a 5-star rating.
