Bakker Elkhuizen KEYBSAT1 S-Board 840 Saturnus Slim Mini Ergonomic Keyboard

I'd recommend this keyboard to anyone. I used one years ago with a static mouse, but then went on to temp jobs and didn't make a fuss about how I sat at my desk when on temp assignment. As a result I caused myself sufficient arm and back muscle damage to miss work. Remembering the really comfortable compact keyboard I had used before, I checked it out on RSI/health websites and they all recommended the 840 Saturnus. I bought it in a rush through Amazon and it was delivered very promptly. The price was pretty high but my need to be able to work was more important. It has immediately helped me get back to work properly. The keyboard is very familiar under the fingers in terms of size of keys and board layout. As a trained typist who uses top-row numbers only, I don't really use the number pad so I don't miss that. Also, it's not ostentatiously 'ergonomic' - it just looks efficient and organised, which is a good look! The primary benefit, tho, is that the keyboard is narrow enough to place your mouse immediately next to it and not feel cramped or find yourself stretching your arm out sideways. So no more arm and back straining required. I've also invested in a static mouse, the Kensington Trackball, which again, cuts down dramatically on arm and back strain very quickly. The 840 Saturnus keyboard and Kensington Trackball mouse are a magic combo and a really good investment.

Written in 2019: (Originally 5 stars) I've had baadddd keyboards! This one has nice "click" and seems very durable and excellent. I'm glad I spent the extra money to get the good one!Update: 2022: I can't say that this lasted. Yes it's been years since purchased, but I'm not a heavy user on my home laptop. Lately, the sticky keys are driving me crazy. (space bar, back key, #3 key, "a" key) No rhyme or reason. Just purchased a cheaper one. This one not worth the money if it can't last the distance!

Ok but very expensive for what it is - a keyboard/

I was looking for a small portable keyboard to use with my iPad/iPhone. This is obviously a windows keyboard but it works just fine with my Apple devices. It also has a usb hub so I can plug in a mouse.Pluses- The ergonomics are pretty good. I have bigger hands and I can comfortably type and not miss or miss-hit keys. Everything feels like it’s in the right place for normal typing.- The hub works great. I can just plug in my usb mouse and use it with my iPad (I never knew you could do that).- This is just a 60% keyboard, and the num lock doesn’t seem to work, but the Fn key does. I really don’t do a lot of 10 key work on my iPad anyway.Minuses- The keys are well laid out and ergonomic, but the feel isn’t the best. There just isn’t enough resistance.- The keys are also a little loud. It would be better if the key action was silent. I know this is just a preference, but it would be better.- The riser feet underneath don’t lock, so if you move the keyboard around they can fold back up.- Overall this keyboard just feels a little cheap. Everything works as expected, but for the price it should feel a little more solid be higher quality.Bottom line. It’s an ok keyboard. I’ll continue using it, but I wouldn’t buy it again at the full price or even the used price. I’m trying to think of a situation where I could recommend this keyboard but I can’t, unless you’ve tried this exact model at some point and the key action is exactly what you want and you haven’t found anything else that you like.

I've been looking around for a keyboard that's a little special for some time now. What I mean is something beyond the boring and bland norm, something with style, a contemporary look and feel, and something that ooses quality at a price that doesn't hurt. Then I found what I was looking for. The Bakker Elkhuizen KEYBSAT1 S-Board 840 Saturnus Slim Mini Ergonomic Keyboard - yes, bit of a mouthful - but it ticks all of the boxes. It's also very good to use! I've had the model for a couple of months now, and it is a pleasure to type on. The keys are responsive, yet forgiving, the quality of the materials used is without fault, and the size of the keyboard at 31.8cm x 21.4cm and a low tapered profile of 3.4cm, allows it to sit comfortably in front of a display monitor/screen, and the ergonomically optimal (mmm, get me) positioning of a mouse to the left or right, depending on your persuasion. Priced at just under £60, it is reassuringly inexpensive.
