HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard – Connect 3 Devices with Bluetooth & Unifying Dongle Connectivity – 20 Programmable Keys, Detached Numeric Keypad – Extra-Large Foam Wrist Rest, Long Battery Life

Best replacement for Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard
Best replacement I could find for the Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard. I like the Sculpt a bit better, but this has the same hand position. One thing to watch out for is if you like having the wrist rest raised, you have to pull out all 3 tabs underneath. It wasn’t clear to me other than the middle tab, and the keyboard would have been wobbly. The outer 2 tabs looked just like rubber pads to me at first. It is nice though that the tilt mechanism is built in, as opposed to the Sculpts separate magnetic attachment. Some other things are better than the Sculpt: Keys are marked for both Mac and Windows, and the default works correctly on the Mac without remapping. It also has an Fn modifier key vs the switch on the Sculpt to get the dual function out of the function keys. One other thing to watch for … to get the bluetooth paired the instructions say to hold down the corresponding bluetooth key for 2 seconds, and this did not work. In frustration at one point, I hit the bluetooth key twice quickly, and it paired! The dongle also works, so you have 2 different bluetooth connections and the dongle so you can attach to multiple computers. The keyboard feels solid, and the key action is nice as well, if just slightly more clackity than the Sculpt. Also, the Command, Alt, Windows, Ctrl keys are smaller than on the Sculpt, so it takes just a bit getting used to.

Randomly switches modes
I have two of these, and they are both causing me issues, one is worse than the other.It’ll randomly turn off the FN lock, meaning my F keys no longer function as F keys until I toggle it back, and it’ll also randomly switch from using the dongle to trying to use BT, causing the keyboard to stop functioning altogether until I manually toggle it back.

Excellent product for far less than its equivalent
There are two sculpted keyboards on the market – and this one is far less expensive, does the same job with a similar ‘look and feel’. Worth buying – especially if you write, or do a lot of keyboard work in general.

Types just like the MS Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard
I like this keyboard. I switched directly from my aged MS Sculp Ergonomic Keyboard (I have owned 6) to this HP960 Ergonomic Keyboard and my hands could not tell any difference. It was great. This HP keyboard is just a tad bit heavier than the MS Sculpt, but it comes across in a good way. It is more adjustable for a negative tilt (if you want) than the MS Sculpt. It will do a positive tilt too if you desire.There was zero problem with the included dongle pairing. No drivers needed to be installed (Windows 11). But the other thing that makes the HP 960 really nice is that I Bluetooth paired it with two of my laptops, no dongle required. It is so convenient.If you know how to go to Bluetooth Devices (just search for it) in Windows, that helps. No, that tip is not in the setup instructions and that might be the source of the negative complaints about the setup instructions.On the HP960 Keyboard, the setup trick is to press down on either the Bluetooth 1 or Bluetooth 2 button in the upper right-had corner of the keyboard until there is a little white light blinking twice slowly every few seconds, that means the keyboard is in Bluetooth pairing mode. When I first tried, I had the first button (the dongle button) blinking when I needed to press and get the Bluetooth button blinking.There are three buttons in the upper right-hand corner to switch between the dongle and two different Bluetooth pairings. You could have this keyboard setup to type on 3 different devices (one at a time).

Best keyboard after 25 years of keyboards.I have used the Microsoft sculp and Logitech ergonomic whatever keyboards.Microsoft was actually good, except for horrible connectivity quality and overall slowness.Logitech’s layout had something I could not get used to even after using it for 2 years. The software is not stable. For some reason my fingers were hurting after long typing sessions. Could be key travel or the dynamics curve if key presses.This one, has none of the issues and all the pros and even some. The layout is pretty much perfect. Key presses honestly feel like a low profile mechanical keyboard ones. The sound is not quite but very satisfactory. All keys are sturdy. You know if you pressed or released a key.Honestly, even if it breaks tomorrow, I would buy another one right away.

After living with this keyboard for a few weeks I’ve dropped two stars. The backspace makes a terrible squeaking noise now, and some of the other keys are starting as well. I had to return the first keyboard that I got because one of the arrow keys didn’t work properly, but I didn’t dock it in my original review because these things happen. However, now that it is sounding like I have a serious mouse infestation when I use the keyboard, it seems obvious that the build quality is just poor. I’ll use it until it’s unbearable and then find a replacement and leave this for an emergency spare. It’s a real shame, because otherwise I like it very much.—Coming from a Microsoft 4000 lifer, I’m very happy to report that I’m loving this keyboard. The learning curve coming from my previous keyboards has been minimal and, at long last an optional numpad! For me this is a killer app – I never use the numpad, and given the size of ergo keyboards in general, I’ve found it counterproductive to have that unused numpad forcing my mouse far to the right of a comfortable position. Being built this way will also mean that I can use a proper ergo keyboard with a keyboard tray again. I can’t comment on how well that numpad works, connects, etc., as I left it in the box and will never unwrap it.The key feeling is satisfying and does not require much pressure at all, however there is still tactile feedback. I also really like the sound keystrokes make, being easy to recognize but soft and quiet overall.Since my favorite keyboards keep getting EOL’d, I’m tempted to buy another 5 of these and horde them just in case, I like it that much.
