    Would be perfect replacement for Microsoft Sculpt if only I could get it in black
    I was upset when I accidentally ruined my Microsoft Sculpt keyboard a couple of years ago but positively crushed when I then learned Microsoft was no longer selling them. Proper ergonomics are important for me, but I prefer something that is relatively “standard” rather than any of the truly radical keyboard designs that are out there. I also didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars. After a lot of research, I ended up purchasing the Logitech Ergo K860 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZWK2TQT) which I liked fine, but not nearly as much as the Sculpt it replaced. Unfortunately the durability on my first K860 wasn’t great and I had to replace it only 18 months later. I didn’t want to buy from them again, but there just wasn’t anything else out there that met my specifications so I moved forward and reordered hoping my first one had just been a dud.Eight months later I was thrilled to learn the mWave had been released and decided to order one despite there being no reviews available yet. I’m glad I did! After a couple weeks of daily usage I’ve come away very happy with the purchase and feel like this is truly the ideal replacement for the Sculpt. The keyboard feels substantial and I like the negative tilt that can be achieved with the legs it includes. Important to note the tilt angle is “all or nothing” as there are no adjustments possible.A few things really set the keyboard apart from the Sculpt in a good way. The first is the the fact it is mechanical keys rather than the chiclet style. I have become more enamored of the feel and travel of mechanical keyboards in recent years and though I won’t claim to be super knowledgable about them this one matches other I own and enjoy in terms of noise level and quality. I have made a point of asking multiple people if they can hear me typing during videoconferences and the answer has always been a no. The keys make noise for sure, as do all mechanical keyboards I’m familiar with, but they are not overly noisy. The next item I love is the backlight. I will often work in a dark room so having the keys lit can be helpful. The lighting has three different levels ranging from dim to pretty bright and the latter is what I’m showing in the picture attached to this review. That picture was taken in a room with a lot of natural daytime light and the backlighting is clearly visible. Frankly, in a dark room it is too bright for my eyes and I go with the medium level. Finally, I love how the keyboard is customizable thanks to what appears to be powerful programming functionality. I have not done more than play around a little with the programming, but it is something I expect to take further advantage of in the weeks ahead.There is only one problem I have with the keyboard and that is I was forced to get it in white since I’m a Mac user. After a few weeks it isn’t showing any grime, but I expect that to change over time. They are going to be releasing a kit that will allow you to convert a black Windows keyboard into a Mac keyboard, but that isn’t available yet so I decided to just go with the white.If the mWave stands up to extensive usage it will be a great option at what I consider to be a very fair price ($120 as of this writing). If you loved the Sculpt I’m guessing you’ll love the mWave

    Great replacement for Microsoft Sculpt
    I am coming from the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard which I’ve used for years. Microsoft of course has stopped making such consumer hardware and sold the patents to Incase. I think Incase has produced a few units, but I haven’t been able to get any. So I found this keyboard on a forum.So far it is great! I used the Bluetooth connectivity to my PC for a few days which worked great. I did start getting repeating keys and etc, but I believe that was my PC’s fault, not the keyboard, and it needed a reboot. Since then I switched to wired using the provided (and LONG) USB A/C cable. (The keyboard has the USB-C connector).The Microsoft Sculpt was more of a laptop-type experience with the keys. I liked it ok and could type quickly on it.This keyboard is mechanical and much more “clacky.” I don’t hate that. The key travel is much more substantial and the spacing is subtly different. After about 3 days, I am nearly back up to full speed typing on it – expect a bit of a learning curve and a few bad keystrokes until your brain remaps your fingers for it, but stick with it. Key presses take a bit more effort but that is fine. I feel like the contour of the key layout and keyboard in general (shape of the curve) is better and more ergonomic.I am NOT a fan of the placement of the Home/End/Insert/Delete keys. I’m sure I will get used to it — but KINESIS was clearly going for a replacement for the Sculpt and it seems an odd design choice to put these keys in such radically different places.Anyway, I would buy again. I am pleased with the price of this keyboard and believe it is certainly worth the same cost as the Sculpt. I’m glad I found it!

    The perfect keyboard
    They finally made the perfect keyboard for me!!!Comparison to some other keyboards I’ve owned:Kinesis Freestyle2: has good key physics, but could never quite get used to the “two pieces”. They would inevitably get bumped into new positions all the time, making it impossible to develop muscle memory for where my hands should go relative to each other. Also, eventually the connector between the two pieces broke, making the unpredictable positions problem go from bad to worse.Perixx PERIDUO-406: The key action on this thing is terrible. Get a little dust in there and the key seizes up. Utterly frustrating.Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard: Prior to the Kinesis mWave, this was my all time favorite keyboard. Good key action, great ergonomics. However the big problem with it which is why I didn’t go back to it was that it has a built in numeric keypad. Newsflash: most people don’t need or want a keypad. Not only is it useless dead space, but if you’re right handed, it pushes the mouse/trackball further to the right than needed. Your hand has to travel further. If your desk space is limited, as mine is, it causes your keyboard to also have to be positioned to the left of center instead of being centered on the desk.mWave is the answer to all the problems. And on top of that they were good enough to make a Mac version of it! Thank you!!

    Great Build, Poor Software, No Marcos (yet)
    Physical Design is great!Love the shape and switches are good.The build quality feels good too.I think the lack of 2.4 Ghz dongle and poor software to customize bring the score down.Software is slow, clucky, confusing, and doesn’t work well. They would have been better off with QMK/VIA, why reinvent the wheel? Only predefined key values are allowed. No custom macros. (Coming in 2026 they say)

    Awesome value; great ergo keyboard.
    An amazing keyboard for what it is — arguably better built Microsoft Sculpt with mechanical switches, access to the seamless Kinesis customization software, and better connectivity. The switches are quieter than full sized browns. Generally, I couldn’t be happier with the keyboard.

    Spacebar did not work properly from the first day. $220 for a keyboard and it does not work. Seller is trying to send me to the manufacturer for the return, very poor product and process
