Has some nice features but not too great
I bought this because I had had a similar keyboard and mouse. Due to Carpel issues I bought the ergonomic board. I don't know if it's me still getting used to the peak in the center or that the fact that sometimes the keys I tough don't often type. Have special problems with the A key and the k. I hit them hard enough, just don't seem to strike. On occasion my screen goes back to the previous or home screen when I'm using the mouse. Still trying to figure out why! Unfortunately the old set finally gave up and can't find it any longer. Not ergonomic, but still liked it much better.

Easy to use!
I purchased this about two months ago, and since then I am enjoying it very much, The ergonomic design makes this one the easiest to use wireless keyboards I've used.
I have this set up so that it is below my laptop, which is elevated to make it easier to read, no forward head position; then the keyboard is in front about 7" right below on the table. It is a super easy setup and one which I recommend. I want to mention the resting pad at the bottom of the keyboard itself; it can be removed however since my hands are large it works for me to rest my palm pads onto it perfectly!

No way to know if your "Caps Lock" is on or off.
I had a 9 year old exact SAME version of this keyboard - the letters were barely readable on my old one.
But when I got the new one - there is one difference.
There's NO LIGHT ANYWHERE on the Keyboard to show if the Caps Lock is "on" or "off".
So, when typing in a PASSWORD, I kept getting kicked back with the website saying "incorrect Password" (as Passwords ARE CASE SENSITIVE.
Pain in the behind. Very sorry Microsoft took away the little light on the "Caps Lock" button.
Had to buy another brand's ergonomic keyboard, but can't say it's name in this review. Although I did buy it through Dell.
Good Luck.

After having problems with my 3 year old Dell 713 kybd & Mouse combo I decided to go with this product. Very glad I did. Comfort & performance are fantastic for the price.

It's OK. Smaller. Space bar has two sections??
Same as my old MS keyboard, but smaller.
Space Bar is split into two halves - not sure why. One half has something to do with "Backspace."??

Looks good but watch out for limited warranty .
Hello,
I have owned my KGR1173 for two months. In the product information listed on most site selling this keyboard its states it has a 3 year warranty.
Here is were it gets sticky.
If the painted characters comes off its not covered. Yes! I have two characters which are almost totally black lack identification.
I have been told that this is "normal wear." That isn't true but its their opinion.
Its sad but I had another key board which lasted 10 tens before the characters lost identity from paint wear.
FYI!

Pretty good keyboard, but mouse is WAY small
Had this bundle for a couple months, not had any issues with the performance, but the mouse seems rather small. I have used the tiny "travel" mouses with laptops in the past and this mouse seems to be between the size of those and a standard mouse.
If the mouse were bigger, I would probably give this a 5 star, the keyboard is great in this bundle.

No Light Indicator on Toggle Keys
It constantly drives everyone crazy in my office that when they need to use a toggle key, specifically the continual use of the CAPS LOCK key and the NUM LOCK key, there is no way to tell if it is "on" or "off." It is quite annoying and slows down the work progression considerably to need to switch to a screen or other place where we need to test (by typing) to see if we have numeric keys engaged or whether the "Caps Lock" function is engaged. I will never buy a keyboard without these features again! If it were up to me, I would return this keyboard in a minute. The other features do not outweigh the continual need for visual toggle key identification.

Smooth, efficient process.
I recommend this keyboard to anyone who types a lot. The split space bar saves time with both forward and backspace side by side. The cushioned rest makes typing more comfortable during long hours at the keyboard. And the Microsoft name adds a measure of confidence.
Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to a regular keyboard. I hope they never stop making these.

Great Keyboard, but would be nce if dongle sold seperate
I love the Sculpt Keyboard, it makes transitioning from curved to straight keyboard seamless. The only problem is the transmitter dongle. I broke mine and had to purchase a new unit as it can not be purchased separately. There is not somewhere to store it in the keyboard. I do not use the mouse.

Keyboard repeats keys until you stop it.
Keyboard keeps producing long strings of letters until you hit the backspace. Their is a lag time between hitting keys and showing up on the screen. I have loved MS keyboards in the past but this misses the mark.

Dell needs to simplify it's ordering & support processes.
Great keyboard & ordering could improve, and smooth delivery experience.

Good for office work, Fair for professional work
The keyboard does not have an F key lock. It is also missing the + and - keys for speakers. The mouse is a bit smaller than what I'm used-to and I need a mouse with the stamina for hundreds of repetitive inputs while in a CAD drawing. This mouse starts to fade after awhile.
